Interview with Lora Cecere, Founder and CEO of Supply Chain Insights and Author of Supply Chain Metrics that Matter ( published December 2014 ). Metrics that Matter became a three year research project. I realized that many organizations are very confused about metrics. So I started this book as a summary of this research.

For organizations layered in functional metrics and driving a cost agenda, this is a tough nut to crack. I don’t care what you call it, but network design, what-if analysis, simulation and digital twin approaches grow in importance.) Tougher than most understand. Companies participating get a copy of the results.

A network design model figures out where factories and warehouses should be located. The key solutions are demand forecasting/inventory optimization, supply planning, and network design. The key solution for this is network design. Supply and network design models are constraint-based models.

The market for network design tools was growing at a moderate rate, and most of the market had invested in technologies from either i2 Technologies (then termed i2 Strategist) or Logictools. Today, supply chain design has become a process all to its own. Instead, it needed to be steps of continuous designs. The reason?
