• Prepare the supply chain for a multi-fulfillment center future by defining analytical frameworks for inventory allocation and order routing across three plus nodes.
• Design a tool to model allocation and routing logic decisions quickly, that considers inventory availability, customer location, service promises, cost to serve and vendor constraints, enabling better decision making with the ability to model complex tradeoffs.
