Understanding Supply Chain Optimization

Supply chain optimization means using technology and resources to maximize the efficiency and performance of the supply chain network. This includes the use of technologies such as AI, ML, blockchain, and IoT.  

The supply chain is an organization’s critical business process for a successful customer experience. According to a report by Invesp, businesses with optimized supply chains have 15% lower supply chain costs, less than 50% of the inventory holdings, and three times faster cash flow cycles. Supply chain optimization usually occurs in three phases: 

• Supply chain design: This phase describes the network design process, including the location of the warehouse facilities, product flow, demand forecasting, and planning and scheduling of the manufacturing operations 

• Supply chain planning: Supply chain planning includes creating a strategic supply chain development plan, coordination of the assets, and inventory planning. It is a process that manages assets to enhance the goods delivery, services, and information from a supplier to a customer. 

• Supply chain execution: Supply chain execution involves managing workflows, including order fulfillment, procurement, warehousing, transportation, and other execution applications such as real-time decision-making, supply chain visibility, and order management
