| PROJECT HISTORIES Inventory Analysis
Strata-G personnel conducted an analysis of the supply chain network
for a major drugstore retailer that resulted in the redesign of stocking and replenishment
strategies for perishable and seasonal items. The redesign led to a 50% reduction in cycle
time for these items, and a system-wide reduction of inventory of approximately 15 percent.
Forecasting Manufacturing Capacity
Strata-G personnel developed a forecasting model for a major consumer
electronics company to determine future manufacturing capacity needs. The project scope
involved the development of a multiple regression model to predict color television sales
for the U.S. market. As a result of the project, the plan to build an additional
manufacturing facility was postponed for the near term.
Logistics Optimization and Software
Development
Strata-G provided logistics analysis services and support
for a major Department of Energy (DOE) contractor in conjunction with a multi-year cleanup
project. The project scope included analytical data review, staffing analysis, onsite
process observation, adherence to DOE and Department of Transportation safety and security
regulations, and development of a logistics optimization software tool for site wide
scheduling.
Customized Supply Chain Courses
Strata-G personnel developed and conducted a customized
logistics and supply chain executive education program for 200 sales and marketing staff
of an international electronics company. The course covered topics such as inventory
management, distribution strategies, network design, negotiation strategies, and
collaborative transportation management. |
