Supply chain strategy projects typically impact all aspects of a company’s operations and competitive position.  The results of a logistics network strategy study can not only turn around a company, but reshape an entire industry when a market leadership position is enabled.  Today, companies are focused on optimizing their supply chain strategy as a foundational requirement to compete in the global market place.

In the past, companies have conducted strategic supply chain assessments when watershed moments occurred or when decisions for change were required. The main driver was almost always the need for an order of magnitude change to the supply chain to support the business strategy.  However, many larger companies now evaluate their supply chains continually with the use of optimization tools. Their goal is to look ahead to ensure that capital expenditures are always invested with long term interests in mind.
