Improving network utilization through continuous evaluation
In today's fast-paced environment with consumer demands changing based on a tweet and product availability changing based on a snowstorm, additional flexibility and agility in your supply chain is more important than ever. Network optimization exercises that are only done once every two to three years leave businesses exposed and unable to respond to increasingly sophisticated market and consumer demands – often resulting in unrealized revenues and cost savings.
The experts at HAVI Global Solutions (HGS) have developed a proven approach to network optimization that meets critical business needs by managing project costs and risks while guaranteeing best-in-class results. HGS will discuss their unique approach of supply chain network design paired with network utilization (effective asset management), which allows customers to minimize risk and maximize visibility across the supply chain.
Starting with the premise that network optimization is best achieved by leveraging a continuous ongoing risk management and optimization strategy, HGS customers realize considerable cost savings along with improved responsiveness to consumer demands and increased speed-to-market. HGS designs the recommendations and/or changes to ensure minimal implementation risk, actively partnering with customers by sharing both risks and benefits.
