Abstract
A system and method are disclosed for identifying supply chain segmentations from an initially non-segmented supply chain is disclosed. Embodiments of identifying supply chain segmentations includes receiving a current state of items in a supply chain network, wherein an inventory of the one or more supply chain entities is used to store one or more items, organizing one or more supply chain entities into one or more customer-product clusters, associating supply chain strategies for customer-product clusters, and transporting items among one or more supply chain entities.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for a segmentation strategy by a computer comprising a processor and a memory, the method comprising:
- defining, by the computer, one or more steering options;
- analyzing, by the computer, a customer hierarchy to determine a forecast and an allocation level;
- designing, by the computer, strategies, levers, and configuration options;
- differentiating, by the computer, configuration options by supply chain model;
- and
- implementing, by the computer, the configuration options across a supply chain network.
A system for a segmentation strategy, comprising:
- a computer comprising a processor and a memory and configured to:
- define one or more steering options;
- analyze a customer hierarchy to determine a forecast and an allocation level;
- design strategies, levers, and configuration options;
- differentiate configuration options by supply chain model;
- and
- implement the configuration options across a supply chain network.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodied with software for a segmentation strategy, the software when executed configured by:
- defining one or more steering options;
- analyzing a customer hierarchy to determine a forecast and an allocation level;
- designing strategies, levers, and configuration options;
- differentiating configuration options by supply chain model;
- and
- implementing the configuration options across a supply chain network.
