Honing your supply chain network is a necessary but complex exercise. Fortunately, getting started is a straightforward matter of choosing between three approaches.
Get familiar with these three supply chain network design models and explore them, weigh the pros and cons, and see which of them will best address your organization’s needs and time to value requirements.
- Periodic engagement: The best approach when future analytical needs are uncertain, and speed-to-value and high confidence in immediate results are critical.
- Managed analytics services: The MAS approach defines objectives, scope, timeline, and milestones on a continuing basis, using a portfolio management model.
- Center of Excellence: The Center of Excellence (CoE) approach is the preferred model for organizations looking to assemble and train their own internal design capability.
