Project Objective
To analyze existing supply chain and identify focus areas for developing an agile and cost-effective supply chain and establish appropriate KPIs to ensure appropriate performance.

Client
A subsidiary of the second largest Cement manufacturing company in the world.

Approach
The project was initiated with a survey of the demand variability and mapping the existing supply chain network structure into ScSimulator (DecisionCraft's proprietary solution). The inventory levels at different depots were mapped to the depot's demands highlighting the need for a thorough network and policy analysis using ScSimulator. ScSimulator allowed simulating hypothetical scenarios based on alternate network configurations and policies. Optimal network configurations and policies were estimated using ScSimulator.

Demand Variability Study

Create What-if scenarios and analyze
Network Related Scenarios
	From where to source raw material and how to supply FG to One Stop Shops and retailers?
	Do they need distributors?
	What should be the size of a storage (Silo) at plant?
Policy Related Scenarios
	How responsive is my supply chain to sudden spikes in customer demand?
	If I increase the service level from 95% to 99%, how much average inventory will increase and where?
