In this episode, we discuss the most common mistakes organisations make in their approach to supply chain network design, automation and warehousing. Peter identifies how a poorly designed supply chain network can impact an organisation and its suppliers and customers, and how automation and warehousing strategies impact supply chain network design.

 

Peter shares a real-life example of how Prological helped one of its clients with network design, automation and warehousing, and key lessons learned. Peter recommends “sign nothing until you have designed everything”!

 

Peter explains the key variables to consider when designing a supply chain network and how Prological’s dynamic network modelling approach works.
