Abstract

This paper explores the critical role of network analytics in the realm of supply chain network design. In an increasingly globalized and complex business environment, the efficient design of supply chain networks is essential for organizations to remain competitive and responsive to market demands. This study delves into the application of advanced analytics techniques to optimize supply chain network configurations. By integrating data-driven models and algorithms, network analytics allows businesses to identify cost-effective routes, minimize transportation and inventory costs, and enhance overall network performance. The paper also discusses the challenges associated with data collection, integration, and analysis in supply chain network design. Furthermore, it provides insights into the strategic implications of using network analytics for decision-making in supply chain management. The findings highlight the importance of a holistic approach to network design, considering various factors such as demand variability, production capacity, and technological advancements. This research contributes to the literature by offering practical guidelines for leveraging network analytics in supply chain network design, ultimately improving the agility and efficiency of supply chain operations.
