Network Optimization Transforms India's Leading Ice Cream Manufacturer into a Supply Chain Powerhouse

Summary

Established in the year 1945 and currently present in the nation with 72,000 retail outlets and over 200 flagship stores. This network spans across 18 states and 5 union territories. The Company was facing difficulty in aligning company’s consumption points (dealers, customers) to supply points (plants, warehouses)

With Translytics’ supply chain Network optimization algorithm, they could realize:

INR 35+ Lacs/month

Saving through Network Optimization

Areas of Focus

Company was facing problems in their supply chain network, Translytics’ team collaborated with the team and identified major improvement areas
  • Evaluation of the current CFAs with Sales Hotspot areas
  • Evaluation Centre of Gravity basis distributor place with current CFA places and in case of change in supply plant needs to look into primary transportation distance.
  • Current CFA location is accessibility of city and connectivity of resources.
  • Size of CFAs, looking into volume load / Cold Chain.

Solution Approach

Using Translytics’ inhouse Network Optimization algorithm, we mapped customer’s AS IS situation, calculated primary & secondary costs. Further we ran simulations for realigned and greenfield scenarios, compared the cost and operational feasibility to conclude the optimize manufacturing to warehouse and to end customer mapping. Our Network Optimization algorithm also has the provision to simulate multiple scenarios for specific region based on operational feasibility.

Impact

Company was facing problems in their supply chain network, Translytics’ team collaborated with the team and identified major improvement areas
  • Cost saving of INR 35 lacs per month in primary and secondary cost with the optimized supply chain network
  • Reduced the average secondary distance travelled from ~450kms to ~180kms
