• Locations in Florida and California
• Each location has Multiple Operations
• Suppliers across USA
• Supplier shipments may be parcel, less-than-truckload or full truckload, some must be frozen or chilled
Introduction
Project goal: Reduce inbound transportation costs across the business while meeting customer service requirements.

Key Deliverables
Create a graphic illustration of Current North American Supply Chain network
Document Current Volumes and Freight spend by mode to each location and in total
Identify and recommend North American Consolidation Points for most efficient route and capacity utilization
Create a graphic illustration of the Recommended New Supply Chain Network with all consolidation facility representations and conceptual lanes to each location

• Focus on Consolidation of LTL shipments to Florida
• Eliminated Frozen and Chilled shipments from the Optimization model
• Included most FTL shipments by breaking them down

Proposed 2-Step Model
Step 1: Set Covering Model (SCM)
Step 2: Network Design Model (NDM)
To Generate Potential Consolidation Point Candidates
To Determine which Consolidation Points to Open/ Close
19
Step 1: Set Covering Model (SCM)
• Maximize sum(i in Suppliers) y[i]
• s.t {sum(i in Suppliers) x[i] <= 30; forall(i in Suppliers)
• y[i] <= (sum(j in Suppliers) Matrix[i,j]*x[j])
• Integer Programming Model
• Model will decide 30 Potential Consolidation Points within 300 mile Radius
from Suppliers.To Maximize the Number of Suppliers which can be Covered by the CPs To Generate at
most 30 Potential CP locations To Ensure that
CPs are within 300 mile radius from Suppliers
20
SCM Results: 30 Consolidation Points
Next Step:
CP Candidates will be fed into the Network Design Model (NDM)
21
Step 2: Network Design Model (NDM)Model Objectives :
• To Decide which Consolidation Points to open or close
• To Determine whether Suppliers should Ship Direct to the company
• To Assign Suppliers to Consolidation Points

Conclusion
• Key Learning– Counter intuitive peculiarities of LTL cost structure
(small volumes, backhauling …etc)
• Moving Forward– “Milk run” study on remaining LTL direct volumes– Optimization of other shipment modes
(e.g. parcel, frozen, chilled …etc)– Optimization of Florida bound shipments
