ChemLogix & Automated Decisions form an alliance
ChemLogix LLC, a leading logistics service provider, has formed a strategic alliance with Automated Decisions, LLC (ADC) to provide a Supply Chain Network Optimization Service to the chemical industry. The principal of ADC is noted supply chain industry consultant Ted Newton.
Mr. Ted Newton, the noted supply chain industry consultant, is known for generating strong supply chain improvements over the past 25 years and over using award winning methodologies. The top tier operations research modeling capability is led by Dr. Jeff Camm, Professor and Department Head, Department of Quantitative Analysis and Operations Management at the University of Cincinnati and also the Editor-In-Chief of Interfaces, the Informs journal on the practice of operations research. This network analysis service, which draws the best out of ChemLogix LLC and Automated Decisions, LLC, aims to provide insights that lead to higher profits and cash flows in chemical supply chains.
The present economic condition requires that cash is optimized. In this type of modeling the potential economic impact is also well over 3% of sales. Overall working capital reductions of over 30% are common.
“In the new world (post 2008) specialty chemical business units need to optimize service vs. cost, service vs. contribution and, perhaps most importantly, service vs. contribution AND CASH,” notes Frank Erzinger, ChemLogix VP, Supply Chain Consulting.
“After establishing a baseline of operations, our Supply Chain Network Optimization Service can model an entire supply chain and define all associated costs and constraints pertaining to service levels, capital assets and resources to provide an economic solution that offers the largest long-term benefits,” explains Erzinger. “We retain all data to periodically evaluate the implications of future operational changes on an existing supply chain, and provide a proactive advisory service that is responsive to changes in the marketplace. No other logistics service provider offers this dynamic service as part of their supply chain network optimization portfolio.”
