Case Study: Decisiones Logísticas improves food distribution network flexibility and cuts costs with anyLogistix

Optimization of distribution network design in food logistics

Decisiones Logísticas, working with anyLogistix, helped a leading Colombian food company, “Don Josué,” redesign a complex distribution network for the next decade. The challenge was to align inventory, production, sourcing, and distribution across 11 factories, 8 distribution centers, and 550 cities, while also preparing for new product launches and managing transport, supply, and capacity constraints.

Using anyLogistix supply chain design and optimization software, Decisiones Logísticas applied a three-phase approach covering supply chain characterization, modeling, and implementation. The team used Greenfield Analysis and Network Optimization to identify better DC locations, improve demand handling, and adjust inventory policies, resulting in potential logistics and production cost savings, including a projected 2.2% to 3.4% logistics cost reduction from a new factory and an additional 0.2% to 0.6% reduction from network changes, along with improved service levels and supply chain flexibility.
