Case Study: Mitigating disruption when COVID-19 closes your distribution center

One common reason shippers conduct network modeling and optimization studies is to understand their strategic footprint. These engineering-based studies answer questions about how many manufacturing or warehouse locations a supply chain needs and where those facilities should be located. But keeping this information current can quickly pay off during events that disrupt the supply chain.

From governmental regulations, port strikes, extreme weather events and more, network optimization models can provide: 

• decision support
• agility during disruption
• cost avoidance opportunities
• To strengthen your supply chain’s resistance to unforeseen events and better prepare for unplanned opportunities, consider building and maintaining a model to help your business manage through disruptive events that happen all too often.
