Logistics & Supply Chain Case Studies

Logistics & Supply Chain Case Studies

Strategic Planning

Supply Chain Network Optimisation

SSO: Strategic Studies

See how we optimised a lithium producer’s expanding supply chain network through advanced simulation.

  • Quantified working capital duration for the first time and determined optimal storage capacity for key warehouses, ensuring the supply chain could meet growing demand.

  • Logistics (Lithium Supply Chain)

Business Planning

Bulk Material Logistics Planning

SSO: Operational Planning

Learn how we transformed logistics planning for a copper smelter through integrated simulation

  • Reduced planning process time from 3-hour weekly meetings to an automated 20-minute process while significantly improving plan confidence.

  • Logistics (Bulk Materials)

Fuel Spend Optimisation

SSO: Monitoring and Diagnostics

Discover how we identified fuel spend inefficiencies for a multinational logistics provider.

  • Identified savings opportunities equivalent to 4% of total fuel spend (R60 million per annum) by analysing just 50% of total kilometres travelled.

  • Logistics (3PL Provider)

Execution Support

Contract Management & Asset Utilisation

SSO: Monitoring and Diagnostics

See how we transformed a loss-making logistics contract into a profitable operation

  • Turned around a 90-truck beer transport contract from loss to R2+ million profit per month through data-driven performance management.

  • Logistics (First Mile 3PL)

Tyre Tread Wear Prediction

SSO: Monitoring and Diagnostics

Learn how we developed predictive analytics for tyre tread wear to optimise fleet maintenance.

  • Predicted tread wear to within 2.5mm accuracy, enabling proactive maintenance scheduling and reduced downtime.
