The low Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) and the growth below the industry average comes from the lack of network design and organizational alignment between new product development, manufacturing, and procurement. During the pandemic, transportation costs skyrocketed, creating increasing tension between customer service and price.

The use of descriptive analytics along with agile planning techniques (what-if analysis, discrete event simulation, and network design) helped. The key is to align these product flows with the efficient supply chain flows to minimize cycle stock in manufacturing and maximize transportation assets. I hope this helps.

Note to the reader: we selected these metrics for the balanced scorecard for the analysis after work with Arizona State University to understand which metrics, in combination, most closely correlated with market capitalization. Think about physical network design. Most companies do not actively design flows.)

This configuration screen shows how Solvyouo maps transportation constraints. A network design model figures out where factories and warehouses should be located. Here the savings are based on transportation and facility cost savings. The key solution for this is network design.

Yes, we have achieved greater normalcy in transportation. 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.) What is normalcy?

We consistently see that companies focused on functional excellence–a focus within a functional silo like manufacturing, transportation or distribution– or singular metrics– like inventory or costs– underperform against their peer groups. Reward teams for cross-functional metrics. Network Design Analysis.

Our ability to do this has gotten better because real-time transportation visibility solutions give the warehouse much better certainty surrounding when a truck will arrive at the DC. Flowthrough needs planning that spans across both warehouse and transportation management systems. Network design is used for this.
