Supply chains have become increasingly fragile in recent years with constant disruptions, including geopolitical events, weather-related catastrophes, labor shortages, strained transportation capacity and volatile demand patterns. Currently, most organizations are typically reactive and siloed in their ability to respond and manage supply chain disruptions, causing increased operating costs and profit/revenue implications. The SAS® Strategic Supply Chain Optimization model uniquely provides the best response to disruptions across the end-to-end supply chain using mathematical optimization with the objective of maximizing profit of the supply chain, by balancing supply chain costs and business constraints (sales goals, perishability, inventory).
