ModusLink says its next-generation Optimized Configuration Solution for demand-driven supply chain design offers a new network optimization and simulation service to enable clients to minimize costs and maintain targeted inventory levels across the global supply chain.
The solution determines the best time and place in the supply chain to perform the complete range of activities required to optimize assembly, configuration, and packaging of generic base products or components into a market-ready state. Robust tools also perform simulation and testing to predict how well the suggested network design will perform in real-world environments, resulting in valuable metrics for inventory levels cycle time and measurement.
The integrated solution leverages a combination of core services to synchronize all elements of the supply chain, including sourcing, materials/content management, light manufacturing, fulfillment, e-business, returns management, and asset disposition.
