Supply Chain Design
Build Smarter, Resilient Supply Chains with Onyx
Onyx Supply Chain Design helps organizations visualize, evaluate, and optimize their supply chain networks using data-driven modeling. By simulating scenarios and identifying inefficiencies, Onyx enables clients to reduce costs, improve reliability, and build resilience against disruptions.
Whether through targeted project analysis or a persistent modeling environment, Onyx empowers strategic decision-making before committing resources.
How We Help Clients
Implement the lowest cost supply chain network, with greatest reliability and resiliency.
Reduce Costs
Identify inefficiencies and waste – from sourcing and manufacturing, through transportation and distribution.
Improve Transit Time and Reliability
Select the right locations for shipping and storage, and the right providers to handle your goods.
Improve Resiliency to Disruptions
Prepare for lane congestion, closures, weather events and other major events with a well-balanced supply chain and scenario options.
Measure Carbon Footprint
Understand the amount of CO2 emissions that result from transportation activities to better support reporting and reduction targets.
How It Works
We bring our technical expertise and remove the burden from your team to integrate, clean and derive meaningful insights from the data across your entire value chain.
Understand the Current State
We pull together data on lanes, volumes and rates to give you a clear picture of activity today, which provides a baseline for reference.
Review Options for Network Changes
Our team will consider your goals and suggest ideas for how to meet your targeted improvement areas.
Model Scenarios with Detailed Data
Leveraging our cloud-based engineering tech stack and analytics platform, we will build alternates to the baseline to consider.
Provide Recommendations
Factoring in your target improvement areas, we will present options for supply chain changes and identify important areas to consider.
Key Focus Areas
Our technology offers risk-free supply chain visualization and modeling, allowing clients to test new cost savings, optimization, and risk reduction strategies before committing resources.
RFQ and Bid Analysis
Simulate costs, providers and routing to optimize based on locations and volumes.
Network Design
Assess the proper count and placement of DCs, regional hubs, cross docks and transload locations.
Supply Chain Diagnostics
Map the current state, diagnose opportunities and decide areas to target for improvement.
Transport Flows
Identify consolidation opportunities, hold periods, vehicle route and service level optimization.
Risk & Resiliency
Map out risks and leverage contingency planning based on simulation of potential disruptions.
Network Simulation
Simulate activity for freight audit, or for carbon mitigation.
Engagement Options
We meet you where you are, with two approaches to supporting our client needs:
Single Project Analysis |
Tailored projects to answer immediate and specific questions related to supply chain strategy and planning. |
Persistent Modeling Environment |
A living model view of your supply chain that allows you to simulate new scenarios more easily before committing resources to execute across your operations. |
