Logistics Optimization

Do you have the right number of manufacturing and distribution facilities? Are they the right size? In the right locations? Doing the right things? Does product flow the right way across your network?

A lot of factors come into play when planning for strategic supply chain logistics optimization. At St. Onge, we look at the total picture across your production and delivery landscape – considering factors both inside and outside your “four walls” to uncover where the most impact can be made.

We blend the best of qualitative and quantitative evaluation to guide clients through supply chain optimizations that deliver measurable value including:

• Manufacturing plant location and production line configuration
• Distribution center number, location, product mix and service territory definition
