We use mathematical models and optimization
methods for management of enterprises

Problem
We solve a compelling challenge within Enterprise
Management:
• Optimization of internal supply chains for
multinational companies that yields the largest after
tax profit for the enterprise
To solve this problem we use heavy mathematical models,
new computational algorithms, Big Data tools and parallel
computing cluster power.
Our deep optimization can increase the profit of a
multinational enterprise to 5 - 10% and more.

Problem
Optimization of Internal Supply Chains for
Multinational Companies
How to establish the most efficient Flow of Goods and Transfer Prices
if subsidiaries are in multiple countries?
4
• Expansion of globalization leads to complex supply
chains
• Tax authorities increase tax requirements across the
world
• Current optimization techniques use methods of linear
programming and therefore are limited in scope
• Optimization calculations for a mid size company involve
millions of variables and several terabytes of data
Background of the
Problem
5
Market Size
• SCM market was estimated by Gartner at
$8.9B in 2013 with annual growth 7.3%
o SAP 23.9% (first)
o Oracle 16.3% (second)
• Share of SCM market for multinational
companies is near 25% and will grow with
expansion of globalization
• Several thousands of companies in the world
have internal multinational supply chain
6
• Currently, tasks of logistics optimization and tax
optimization are solved sequentially:
- At first Supply Chain planning systems calculate the best
Flow of Goods, providing minimization of costs;
- Later tax planning systems calculate the transfer prices,
providing the maximization of profit for global company;
- In both stages, tasks of linear programming are solved.
• The result of such sequential optimization does not
provide the most optimal solution. Only by optimizing
both - Flow of Goods and Transfer Prices simultaneously a
combination can be found that yields the most profit .
Current practice

Competition
Products for simultaneous optimization are currently nonexistent

Our approach
Simultaneous solving of complex problem
Using Hadoop as Low Cost Super Computer
• Use math models of bilinear programing, new numerical
methods of optimization and optimal control theory
• Modeling and Optimization on SAP HANA and Hadoop
• Seamless integration with SAP Business Suite

Supply chain structure is constructed by taking into
account the multistage nature of manufacturing processes.
The Multinational Supply Chain includes:
• Countries (various tax jurisdictions)
• Internal and external suppliers
• Manufacturing plants
• Distribution centers
• Market zones
• Items of goods (including all raw materials, semi-
products, finished products)
• Available transportation routes
Supply chain
structure

Adaptation of
mathematical model The model describes multistage nature of manufacturing process.
The model can be static or dynamic (including time).
11
• Simultaneous optimization of Good Flows and Transfer
Prices can increase the profit of multinational
enterprise up to 5% and more.
• The more advanced the supply chain (more goods
positions and more nodes in chain), the greater the
effect of simultaneous optimization of flow of goods
and transfer prices.
• Additional 2 - 4% of profit after deeper optimization of
internal supply chains by adapting mathematical
models that are capable of taking into account existing
price forecasts in various markets as well as differing
time-to-market characteristics between various chains.

The following items are determined:
• Total maximum profit of Enterprise after taxation
as well as parameters that led to such result:
• Volume of each good that needs to be transported on
each route between subsidiaries participating in the
supply chain
• Transfer prices that need to be established between the
subsidiaries
• Allocation of transportation costs between seller and
buyer for each pair of participants in transportation
Optimization results
13
• Maximal capacity of each node of supply chain
• Resource consumption of each node of supply chain while producing some product
• Procurement costs (excl. duties) of raw materials shipped from external suppliers
• Fixed and variable costs on each node of supply chain
• Amount of raw material needed on each plant to produce one unit of product
• Inventory cost of process loss and safety stock of each node of supply chain
• Transportation costs per unit of each product on each route
• Forecasted demand on each finished product in each market zone
• Market price of each finished product in each market zone
• Import and export duties
• Corporate tax rate of each country
• Lower and upper bounds of the transfer prices on each product between each pair
of countries
Static model
accounts for:
14
Dynamic model is an extension of static model.
Dynamic model takes into account the following additional
aspects:
• Number of time intervals in common time period of modelling
• Delivery time on each transportation route
• Following parameters depending on time intervals:
– Forecasted prices and demand for each market zone
– Forecasted manufacturing costs
– Forecasted transportation costs
– Forecasted currency exchange rates
Additional results of optimization:
• Time of manufacturing start and shipping on each node of supply chain
• Forecasted sales figures for each market zone depending on time

Potential customers
Described problem is crucial for to the most industrial
companies that run subsidiary business units and
competing for the customers on global level. Most of the
large business companies as well as the higher level of
middle business companies fit these criteria.
Our potential clients can be from various industries: • Oil and gas;
• Ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy;
• Chemistry and petro chemistry;
• Production of building materials;
• Food industry;
• Consumer products industry;
• Pharmaceutics and bioengineering;
• …

Solution as a
service While product is developing, we offer solution as a service.
The entire service process consists of following steps: • Gathering of basic structure of customer’s supply chain
• Estimation of costs on calculation and full data gathering
• Approval for parameters taking into account
• Fitting of the math model to the client
• Gathering all necessary data for the developed model
• Transformation of gathered data into computational model
• Performing the calculation
• Applying of results
By analogy to the tasks of logistics optimization, static
model calculates for 18 months ahead every 6 months.
Dynamic model calculates weekly or monthly.

caliber is hard. That is why we are looking for partners –
consulting companies that specialize in supply chain
optimization and also transfer pricing. Currently:
o We have solid agreements with partners in
Switzerland, Germany, Mexico
o We are in talks with potential partners in USA, India,
South Korea, Portugal, Cyprus
