Network Modeling – Logistics Network Design and Optimization
Meet your Service Level Agreements with Less Inventory in the Field – Optimize your Network, Reduce Cost
It’s easy to add FSL’s to a network to accommodate your customer install base. However, constraints of capital investment, inventory on-hand and production schedules do not always support that option. Flash Global Logistics designs least overall cost networks that meet customer delivery commitments and inventory requirements. Our Network Modeling and Solutions Design team, utilizing industry software combined with proprietary in-house developed programs for street mapping, creates network modeling client solutions accounting for install base, geography, drive time and coverage radius. Flash’s local market expertise enhances the model’s results.
Service links are created between the appropriate Distribution Center (DC) or Forward Stocking Location (FSL), install base and radius for drive combination. The model is then further optimized to minimize transport distance and total number of FSL’s.

- You are able to Meet your SLA’s with Less Inventory in the field – Decrease Inventory and Enhance Efficiency.
