What Goes into Designing an Optimized Supply Chain

Designing an optimized supply chain is extremely technically complex and can’t be done with existing supply chain software or standard algorithms. For a simple supply chain only one tier deep, there are millions of scenarios of suppliers, routes, products, and locations that the system must evaluate. Simultaneously, the system needs to optimize prices and quantities at each node and path. And at the same time, for each scenario the system needs to consider thousands of data points including manufacturing cost, country risk, tariffs, transportation costs, and many others.

But making this even harder is that while each scenario is being evaluated, the rest of the scenario changes. Think about prices: evaluating a scenario requires the system to know the prices, but prices change based on the suppliers, locations, and routes selected in the scenario. Needless to say, designing optimized supply chains is a technical challenge that the system can’t just solve with brute force by trying every combination. And even if a system could try every combination, the calculation would take so long that once the calculation is complete the world would have changed invalidating the analysis.

Supply Chain Complete is the pioneer in designing optimized supply chains in seconds. We have overcome the technical challenges by developing patent-pending AI+ technology that uses AI, proprietary heuristics, custom algorithms, and advanced data models to not only design optimized supply chains in seconds but also reconfigure them in seconds based on user inputs. Our vision is to apply computer science algorithms and principles to the field of supply chains.

The team at Supply Chain Complete has a unique combination of deep software, optimization, and supply chain expertise. They developed innovative methodologies and specialized software to design an optimized supply chain within seconds. We are totally different from other supply chain software which simply manages current supply chains with yesterday’s technology.
