Our End to End Modeling Tool (4Syte™.NET)
The supply chain begins with the manufacturing and sourcing process, so logically 4Syte™ starts with the inventory and sourcing cost module. The decision on the sourcing strategy should be based on the absolute highest possible profit margin. This cannot be determined without evaluating the total cost to serve for a specific product or inventory classification. In many cases, sourcing decisions are not based on profitability because it is too difficult and time consuming to evaluate the entire supply chain network on an on-going basis. The consultant and/or customer will now have the ability to update and monitor supply chain costs on an on-going basis and make sourcing decisions based on how much profit can be made, not just the lowest cost production. For example, inflation in some Asian economies are increasing at a far greater rate than US near shore alternatives. When is it time to consider your sourcing change? 4Stye can pinpoint that date for you.
Before the the sourcing decision can be made, the various supply chain alternatives must be measured on the ability to service the customer and the total cost to achieve that service. This would include the ocean shipping costs, transportation, labor, management & overhead, administrative costs, warehousing and material handling, automation, capital investments, real estate, incentives, taxes and much much more. 4Syte is able to quickly aggregate these cost and provide extremely insightful dashboards for the CFO so that better overall financial decisions can be made with more confidence.
4Syte contains modules for every cost silo of your supply chain and allows the executive to assemble innumerable "what if" scenarios. A typical optimization analyses is not capable of exploring the various changing complexities of the network. 4Stye is very capable of this task. Smart executives are consistently demanding answers to the many "what if" questions, but rarely get the right answers and if they do it usually takes too long to get them.
