What's the lowest delivered unit cost your supply chain could achieve? If you don't know the answer to that question, you can't judge your current performance.

Network strategy starts with a Greenfield study using high level economics to establish the theoretical optimum Network Infrastructure.
This requires robust analytical input to the operations strategy decision making process.
You need to:
- Agree on process technology scale options;
- Define market distribution scenarios (now and 10 years hence);
- Establish Line and Site level cost drivers.
From this you can:
- Compute economic footprints;
- Compute Centres of Gravity;
- Establish the optimal number and location of sites.
This process provides a least cost reference point Network - including scale and location of production and distribution facilities required to service the given market.
