Consumer Packaged Goods industries such as food typically have low margins and therefore have always been at the forefront in using strategic supply chain planning solutions. The initial applications tended to focus on warehouse location and sizing as well as ways to deal with seasonality. With manufacturing moving largely outside the US, manufacturing rationalization became one of the most dominant applications. Most recently, CPG companies have applied inventory optimization to better allocate and set inventory levels and determine the drivers of inventory in their supply chains.
Typical Applications
Warehouse location, sizing and manufacturing rationalization
Transition planning and warehouse sizing
