The company was in a competitive market and had to maintain expected service levels of >97% and service time of <4 hours. The customer realized that the cost increase in the organization was higher than the growth in sales. This reduced the profitability of the business. They also had a large number of SKUs (>50,000) that result- ed in high inventory carrying cost and risk of obsolescence. An optimization model was drawn up to decide the best supply chain structure.
