Abstract:
A system, method and apparatus are provided for designing and evaluating a supply-chain architecture and strategy, and communicating the architecture to concerned parties. The supply chain is designed by combining business strategies and analytical modeling in a well-defined process. Key product and market attributes are combined with defined supply-chain processes and strategies, to identify a preferred supply chain architecture and strategy. Feedback from the concerned parties is collected, and modifications are made iteratively to the supply chain architecture and strategy, based on the collected feedback.
