OPERATIONS STRATEGY
Recommended an optimal operations and logistics strategy to minimise the overall cost of goods sold.
THE BACKGROUND
Client was one of the leading plastic packaging manufacturer in the country
who imports raw materials centrally and distribute among manufacturing
sites. Client requested Siecap to carry out an assessment to decide
between two operational strategies in relevance to the initial processing
and distribution of the raw material.
HOW THE TEAM HELPED
Conducted a detailed study on distribution network under each operational scenario considered.
Develop cost models for distribution centers under each operational scenario considered.
Conducted a study to identify optimum distribution center location based on the logistics and operational costs.
Conducted a study to identify best road transport configurations considering special transport and product conditions
RESULTS
Optimal operational strategy identified
optimal distribution center location identified.
optimal road transport configurations identified
cost benefits/ impact of the proposed scenario identified
