Inbound supply network optimization is designed to optimize the inbound supply chains—including internal and external capacities; inventory locations and quantities; logistics; containers; and part plans.
This solution can consider different scenarios, including global versus local sourcing, to arrive at the least-landed cost approach for part supply.
Capabilities of the i2 solution for inbound supply network optimization can include:
- Support for LP/MIP multi-period optimization and discrete event simulation
- Deep and rich representation of facilities, processes, parts, and costs
- "What-if" scenario analysis
Benefits of the i2 solution for inbound supply network optimization can include:
- Reduced material costs
- Reduced transportation costs
- Reduced warehouse and handling costs
