Supply Chain Optimisation
Most supply chains in Nigeria grew one depot, one supplier and one customer at a time. The result usually works, but it costs more than it should and struggles under pressure: a port delay, a jump in diesel prices, a road closure.
We look at the whole network and redesign it so it costs less and copes better when things go wrong. Every recommendation comes with the numbers behind it and the trade-offs spelled out, so your team can see why a change makes sense before committing to it.
What's included
- Network designWhere your warehouses, depots and cross-docks should be, and which customers each one serves.
- Inventory policyHow much stock to hold, where, and when to reorder, so you stop paying for stock that sits still while running out of what sells.
- Transport planningRoutes, loads, vehicle mix and backhauls, including when to own vehicles and when to contract.
- Cost-to-serve analysisWhat each customer, product and channel really costs you to supply.
- Resilience planningAlternative suppliers, routes and stock buffers for the disruptions you can predict.
Who it's for
- Manufacturers and FMCG companies with national distribution
- Distributors and retailers running several depots
- Public agencies managing supply programmes
