Mr. Newton has used award winning methodologies to generate strong supply chain improvements over the past 25+ years. The top tier operations research modeling capability is led by Dr. Jeff Camm, Professor and Department Head, Department of Quantitative Analysis and Operations Management at the University of Cincinnati. Dr Camm is also the Editor-In-Chief of Interfaces, the Informs journal on the practice of operations research. Applying a combination of ChemLogix’ expertise in Category Management and in-depth chemical industry knowledge together with the extensive expertise of ADC in optimization, this network analysis service is focused on providing insights that lead to higher profits and cash flows in chemical supply chains.
“In the new world (post 2008) specialty chemical business units need to optimize service vs. cost, service vs. contribution and, perhaps most importantly, service vs. contribution AND CASH,” notes Frank Erzinger, ChemLogix VP, Supply Chain Consulting.
Optimizing cash, which includes higher working capital costs and constrained availability of cash from both operations and financing, is essential in the new economic reality. In this type of modeling the potential economic impact is also well over 3% of sales. Overall working capital reductions of over 30% are common.
“After establishing a baseline of operations, our Supply Chain Network Optimization Service can model an entire supply chain and define all associated costs and constraints pertaining to service levels, capital assets and resources to provide an economic solution that offers the largest long-term benefits,” explains Erzinger. “We retain all data to periodically evaluate the implications of future operational changes on an existing supply chain, and provide a proactive advisory service that is responsive to changes in the marketplace. No other logistics service provider offers this dynamic service as part of their supply chain network optimization portfolio.”
