"Optimize total landed costs across transportation, facility real estate, labor, and working capital inventory."
Key Questions We Answer:
- How many distribution centers do you need to meet customer service level commitments (e.g., next-day / 2-day delivery)?
- Where should those facilities be located to minimize outbound freight and inbound drayage expenses?
- What customer territories and order profiles should each facility serve?
- How does an acquisition, new product line, or changing supplier base impact your current footprint?
- What are the cost and service trade-offs between centralized vs. decentralized warehousing models?
