Supply Chain Design


Glossary

What is Supply Chain Design?

Supply Chain Design is a strategic framework that delineates the structure and network of a supply chain, providing a comprehensive model to estimate the time and costs associated with bringing goods to the market. This model enables businesses to identify inefficiencies and potential risks within the supply chain, facilitating the analysis of scenarios and optimization of operations to enhance costs, service levels, and speed to market.

The primary objectives of supply chain design are centered around optimizing key performance indicators. These objectives include the reduction of inventory, working capital, and transportation costs, as well as the increase in transparency throughout the supply chain.
