How we did it?
- Conducted workshops to understand the efficacies of the Tyre Distribution and the Service Levels
- Conducted pan India study with a team of 20 research associated to submit a detailed Benchmark Report of the Distribution Network and processes of all major Tyre manufacturers in India
- Modeling and optimization the secondary distribution process taking into account the RDC’s, C&F’s and distributor locations for replacement market for the Farm and Consumer PBUs, data using multiple decision variables, objective functions and constraints
- Simulated different scenarios with the purpose of cost reduction and Reported overall Supply Chain cost to serve reductions of 35% for Farm and 17% for Consumer PBUs
