Trunking Networks

LPC are able to undertake the detailed modelling required to optimise your network.

LPC will optimise the movement of product from one location to another, for example, back-loading from supplier to a factory location, as part of a distribution operation. Trunking modelling can even be extended to include “via” points to represent:

  • Where loads are staged for onward movement by another resource
  • Empty container drop or collection
  • Tanker or pot wash between loads to avoid cross contamination

Trunking modelling allows the closer modelling of real life and finds ways to optimise distribution across the country.

A Holistic Approach To Supply Chain Optimisation

These components need to be considered holistically and not as an individual entity. if you do not the result will almost guarantee a sub optimal supply chain entailing hidden costs with a lack of visibility and total understanding within the various components of the business.

The aim should be to reduce complexity and drive growth whilst being flexible enough to be able to adapt to change influenced by customers, economics or technology.

LPC draws on its detailed knowledge of the individual supply chain components to build up an accurate picture of cumulative costs and service level implications.
