Supply Chain Decisions - The Financial Impact

Designing a supply chain for a manufacturing company involves making decisions like how many plants will we have and how large should they be? How should we handle logistics - in house, use common carriers, or 3PL providers? Do we build warehouses, should we own them or should we lease space? Any many, many more...

When decisions are made in the areas of supply chain design, they have a long term impact as they cannot be easily changed in the short term. This has a significant impact on defining the limits within which a company's supply chain can be competitive. So we feel that supply chain design needs to take the long term view. Factors like supply and demand uncertainty, financial factors, and customer service metrics must be taken into account for a successful supply chain design.
