Supply chains are no strangers to disruption – but the latest wave of tariff threats is adding even more pressure on businesses worldwide. Tariffs affect costs, supplier choices, and distribution strategies. The good news? There are tools that can help by modeling your supply chain network. The bad news? If you don’t plan for the new landscape with intelligence and speed your competitors will gain an advantage.
Supply Chain Network Design
Supply chain network design is the strategic process of determining the optimal configuration of a supply chain to balance costs, service levels, and operational efficiency. Using supply chain network design tools in designing layout and flow of facilities, production sites, distribution centers, warehouses, and transportation routes can reduce operational costs and enhance customer satisfaction.
Per Gartner:
“Global supply chain networks require redesign under volatile conditions, so analytical modeling tools are needed to support decisions in this complex environment. Supply chain technology leaders should use this research to evaluate supply chain network design tools that support these analytics.”
