Network Design & Optimization

Distribution networks have become a key focus for service oriented shippers. Born-2-Move can strategically design and optimize your logistics network to handle:

  • changing demand,
  • acquisition distribution redundancy,
  • service level rationalization,
  • logistics cost pressures.

    We excel in tailoring optimization models to mirror customer specific constraints and business rules. This expertise delivers implementable solutions, not blue sky savings.

    Born-2-Move has standardized a rigorous approach to supply chain engineering projects. The following figure outlines that process with key steps. It begins with a group effort to identify the scope and deliverables of the project:

    DEFINE: Project objective, Scope and deliverables, Roles and responsibilities, Timeline, Conceptual model, Scenarios to be evaluated, Software platform & tools, Data sources and gaps.

    DEVELOP: Site visit, Data development, Business rules, Model assumptions, Model development, Baseline validation.

    ANALYZE: Optimization, Scenarios, Cost/service trade-offs, Sensitivity analysis, Scenario reports.

    INTERPRET: Interpret model outputs, Expected benefits, Discuss implementation potential, Finalize deliverables Final presentations.
