Supply Chain Optimization for Fashion Retailer
The client, a fashion retailer based in Germany, recently launched aΒ supply chain optimizationΒ project to boost operational efficiency and allow cost savings. Retail customers demand faster delivery and more convenient pickup processes, making supply chain efficiency the number one priority for the client.
For the project, the client had an existing consulting team and sought specific support from aΒ supply chain consultantΒ with working knowledge on scenario analysis.
ConsultportΒ proposed 4 strong consultant profiles within 72 hours. The client interviewed 3 candidates and selected a former senior consultant from Kerkhoff Consulting with rich project experiences in supply chain optimization. The consultant started working on the consulting team 5 days after the initial request.
To identify the most effective supply chain optimization strategies, the consultantΒ defined and tested potential scenariosΒ on routes and locations for distribution centers (DC).
The consultant evaluated different DC locations in Germany, ran simulations on various routes,
and assessed the potential for pool distribution through scenario analysis.
To support the scenario testings, the consultantΒ utilized real dataΒ provided by the client. The data included historical order volumes, transportation costs, and delivery time.
The proposed implementation plan received strong leadership support, with initial pilot outcomes confirming the feasibility of broader rollout and positioning the client for long-term logistics optimization.
