Inventory & Network Optimization

Transform your supply chain from reactive to resilient. In a volatile market, "Zero Inventory" is no longer the goal—"Optimal Buffering" is. Our models optimize inventory levels across raw materials, intermediate (WIP) tanks, and finished goods. We help you transition from static safety stocks to dynamic "Just-in-Case" buffering that protects service levels without bloating your balance sheet.

Key Benefits

  • Right-size safety stock buffers based on demand volatility and lead time risk
  • Optimize Intermediate/WIP tank levels to decouple production steps
  • Minimize transportation costs through intelligent routing and consolidation
  • Eliminate "double buffering" across the network
  • Enable rapid response to supply shocks (e.g., raw material shortages)

Use Cases

  • Multi-echelon inventory optimization (MEIO) for resins and polymers
  • Strategic safety stock positioning for "Just-in-Case" resilience
  • Distribution center location and capacity planning
  • Bulk liquid inventory planning (Tank Farm vs. Drum/Pail)
  • Supply chain risk mitigation and resilience planning

Implementation Approach

Our implementation begins with comprehensive data analysis of your current network structure, demand patterns, and cost drivers. We develop custom optimization models that integrate with your existing ERP and planning systems. The solution includes scenario planning capabilities for what-if analysis, allowing you to stress-test your network against tariffs, strikes, or supply shortages.
