Optimizing your parts and vehicle flow - from plants and ports to stocking locations and dealers
Our network design solutions help clients structure their distribution and production footprints to minimize cost-to-serve while maximizing service performance and delivery speed. Whether you're shipping service parts or finished vehicles, we build data-driven network strategies that reduce transit time, lower logistics costs, and improve customer satisfaction.
Designing Networks for Peak Operational Efficiency
Aftermarket Parts
We model multi-tier service parts networks to ensure the right inventory is in the right place - at the lowest possible cost. By balancing availability, transportation modes, and demand variability, we help clients reduce expediting, improve fill rates, and free up working capital. Our team has decades of experience in stocking strategy and optimization, multi-echelon inventory modeling, and transportation mode and replenishment trade-offs.
Finished Vehicle
We design optimized flow paths for finished vehicles from plant to customer - minimizing handoffs, reducing dwell time, and preventing costly damage. Our strategies span rail, port, and carrier planning to create a seamless logistics experience that improves visibility and accountability across the supply chain. We assist clients with location strategy and optimization; plant, port, and yard optimization; and multimodal routing and delivery planning.
