We developed a complex software tool for the Supply Chain

James Ross Consulting developed a software tool to model complexity in the Supply Chain. The tool was designed to model what is happening in the chain of events from Plants to Customers. The computational ability of the software allows changes in the packaging, handling and transporting of products to be mapped over a network of Plants, Warehouses and Customers.

Business Challenge

James Ross Consulting were asked to assist in formulating the way forward. The first step was a review of current business activities in the Supply Chain to look for traditional cost saving opportunities. This was a practical means to gain an understanding of physical products and business practices. To address the issue of providing more clarity towards a virtuous cycle of Supply Chain activities, James Ross Consulting has taken a radical approach.

In this way, influences of changes that are made upstream in the products or processes are captured in the downstream activities and presented as a business cycle snapshot. By programming changes in these parameters, the model can be used to compare alternative scenarios for the business. The results provide some predictions for cost effective change, and can be used to support basic cost saving initiatives through to comprehensive restructuring in the Supply Chain activities.
