Product Introduction / Phase-out

The addition of a new product or the phase out of an existing product can each stress an organization's existing supply chain structure and operations. Many times it is necessary to make significant changes to the supply chain design or operating policies to accommodate the new product mix and new product service requirements. Supply Chain Guru's functionality enables users to identify the lowest total landed cost for each product in the network, from suppliers all the way through to end customers. Alternate demand scenarios can also be included to determine the sensitivity of different supply chain design to forecast variability.

A prominent global electronics manufacturer needed a better solution for modeling the introduction of new products into the supply chain. Manufacturing capacity, transportation costs, and distribution locations all needed to be considered. LLamasoft’s New Product Introduction solution was implemented to help model the existing supply chain network, then quantify the affects of adding new products into the system. A well-established North American electronics retailer was planning to introduce their own line of store-brand products for the first time. This introduced a host of new challenges by needing to plan further upstream in the supply chain. The supply chain team adopted LLamasoft’s solution to help them model the potential capacity constraints and service levels brought on by the new product line.
