ASCD is a supply chain design tool, especially powerful where your business requires multi-stop shipments. It optimizes simultaneously multi-stop route territory (outbound from warehouses) and upper echelon supply chain together. ASCD is a tool to design supply chain network optimizing several cost factors while respecting various constraints such as capacities. A simple example, but challenging as shown in the picture above, is to trade off inbound costs, warehousing/inventory carrying costs at DC’s and outbound costs where outbound involves multi-stop routes with delivery frequency requirements. To have an implementable solution, it is essential to model multi-stop delivery cost accurately considering delivery frequency requirements.

ALLO is a tool to design logistics networks with cross docks and milk runs for strategic and tactical purposes. It produces a high-frequency lean logistics network at low costs. Lean Logistics is characterized by high-frequency replenishment and freight consolidation utilizing networks of cross docks and milk runs. It promotes the continuous flow of products from origin to destination by the pull of actual consumption and thereby eliminates waste. The results are low inventory, high availability, resource smoothing, and improved asset utilization at low costs. It is extremely difficult, however, to design a lean logistics network due to complex constraints and astronomical possibilities. ALLO can help you to design such a lean logistics network with ease and to revolutionize your logistics network. An inbound example of lean logistics is found in the automotive industry to support JIT production.
