Supply Chain Cafe Series: NETWORK OPTIMIZATION WORKING GROUP

Supply chain network optimization enables companies to gain an edge over the competition, discover new partners and products at scale, transform complex data into meaningful demand signals, and do much more. The network supports a 60-70% improvement in partner network visibility, a 12-15% reduction in out-of-stock scenarios, and many such enhancements. Traditional linear value chains are not designed to meet the increasing complexities of the new-age economy. Complex hierarchies, rigid supply chains, and information silos have limited partner reach, persistent out-of-stocks, higher costs, latency, and lost opportunities.

Constraints of network optimization could be:

• Demand constraints

• Product flow constraints

• Stock capacity constraints

• Production constraints
