The Business Challenge
A renowned sports goods, apparel, and accessories manufacturer with supply chains spread across 20 countries was facing a predicament in identifying the major reasons for failures in inbound and outbound deliveries. The client wanted to understand delivery levels across four channels such as the wholesale, retail, franchise, and WHS monoband. Moreover, the client wanted to understand the factors leading to inbound delays, outbound delays, and the impact of inbound delays on outbound deliveries. By leveraging Quantzig’s solution, the client wanted to assess the major factors responsible for the OTIF failures in the inbound and outbound supply chain.
The primary objective of this engagement was to optimize its supply chain by identifying the best suppliers and maximize OTIF levels for outbound deliveries.
