Network Optimization

Network Optimization

At Implementation Engineers, we optimize manufacturing and fulfillment operations across multi-facility networks to effectively balance customer service levels and cost efficiency. We partner with clients to develop and execute strategies to identify the key quantitative and qualitative factors that drive optimal footprint decisions, such as determining the ideal location, size, and layout for facilities. Further, within the Supply Chain practice our team members work hand-in-hand with client leaders to optimize the flow of materials, products, and information within the asset network to effectively allocate production capacity and fulfill customer demand.

Furthermore, product mix at the plant level did not consistently align with available tooling and production resources. Our client engaged IE on a network optimization project to develop a strategy to address these challenges. Activities during IX® included:
