Supply Chain Operations (SCO) — Network Design & Flow Orchestration

Supply Chain Flow Path & Lead Time Optimization Engine

Optimises supply chain flow paths across network nodes to minimise total lead time while meeting cost and service constraints.

Key Capabilities

  • Ingests network node configuration, flow path options, and lead time data with cost parameters with minimal transformation
  • Applies deterministic, auditable scoring rules — no black-box logic
  • Delivers ranked, prioritised recommendations with clear rationale
  • Supports what-if scenario testing with instant recalculation
  • Exports results to Excel / CSV for downstream workflow integration
  • Configurable thresholds and parameters via a structured JSON file

How It Works

Supply Chain Flow Path and Lead Time Optimization Engine applies a deterministic optimisation framework. Input data is ingested, validated, and processed through configurable rules and constraints. The engine evaluates all viable options across the decision space, producing an optimised recommendation set with a full audit trail.

Inputs Required

  • Network node configuration data with capacity, lead time, and cost by facility and function
  • Flow path option records covering all origin-to-destination routes through the network
  • Lead time and cost data by node and lane with service level constraints

Outputs & Deliverables

  • Optimal flow path recommendation with lead time and cost for each origin-destination pair
  • Trade-off analysis showing cost and lead time implications of alternative routing options
  • Implementation priority ranking by lead time reduction and cost improvement
