Optimized Configuration
ModusLink’s Optimized Configuration Solution teams our supply chain planning and design expertise with innovative technologies and techniques to determine the most efficient and cost-effective supply chain model and inventory strategy for your specific needs and objectives.
By analyzing critical operating variables and physical supply chain costs – and the trade-offs among them, the optimization process identifies the best time and geographic location to perform final configuration, packaging and distribution of products.
Clients can leverage any combination of ModusLink solution centers around the globe, including those in low-cost operating destinations—such as China, Mexico and Eastern Europe—for certain products; or postpone configuration until fulfillment, using facilities closer to the customer.
For many companies, the ability to execute these key processes in-region, and later in the cycle when demand is more established, helps to expedite time-to-market, lower costs and optimize component and finished goods inventory to better meet global demand.
The result is improved margins for our clients.
