Can supply chain & data analysis help with your strategic business question?
Warehouse capacity modelling can help with this. A capacity model is a digital representation of your supply chain and is an inexpensive way of testing the impact of change.
It typically consists of 3 streams of analysis:
- Mapping end-to-end supply chain processes and product flows.
- Comparing automation capacities with forecast demand.
- Identifying bottlenecks or ways to improve the flow of goods to maximise warehouse automation.
You may also want to use the capacity model to run “what-if” scenarios, for example: what products would be best held outside of my ASRS to generate more capacity at least cost?
You need Warehouse Capacity ModellingCalculating a cost-to-serve from supply data and activity rates helps align finance and supply chain functions and allows you to better prioritise improvement projects.
You need Cost-to-serve AnalysisWarehouse capacity models can be used for testing different scenarios, it’s a digital representation of your supply chain which allows you to proactively plan and mitigate risks.
It’s a great way of stress-testing and running scenarios, for example, what would happen if the forecast growth of winter apparel is 10% higher than expected?
You need data-driven peak planningAcquisitions can be a great catalyst to streamline processes and reduce overall costs.
Fully understanding both supply chain processes and product flows will be critical, a process mapping exercise can bring this to life.
We can help you build a flexible data model inclusive of processing rates, costs, and throughput capacities against each activity to compare integration options. Through modelling different scenarios it’s possible to gain a much deeper understanding of how existing supply chain infrastructure can integrate and support each other.
You need Acquisition Growth StrategyDepending on your product offering you may find insightful patterns in sales data that can improve demand forecasting and be a very valuable source of information in calculating how much inventory to hold.
We also offer inventory simulation to determine inventory levels calculated against demand uncertainties, supply inaccuracies, and business targeted service levels.
