Supply Chain Management

The question “How to optimise my supply chain?” haunts every businessman every minute, every day.  In today’s fast paced world of innovation, integration and continuous improvement, very often the leaders feel bogged down by details oblivious to the significant synergies that remain under exploited in their spectrum of activities.  “How to fashion sourcing, procurement, conversion and logistics to make the best use of limited resources, minimising costs involved while maximizing returns?” is the challenge before them.  OptiRisk Modeling tools incorporating advanced Operation Research algorithms in our solvers (FortMP) make this job simple, enjoyable and deadly effective with guaranteed results.

Optimisation is a maximisation (or minimisation) exercise subject to a set of given constraints.  Supply chains intuitively lend an image of constraints, flexibility and balancing; an ideal scenario for optimisation.  Often simple linear programming itself results in great savings uncovering significant potentials overlooked for long for a variety of reasons.  Pros and cons of competing rationales get quantified revealing a great deal of clarity and simplicity, readily translating to unparalleled competitive advantage.  Advanced Supply Chain Packages incorporate stochastic programming tools which provide robust solutions even against significant uncertainties in cost and pricing.
