After analyzing the retail and commercial business units, OfficeMax asked
us to determine the optimal number, location, and size of the distribution
facilities for their network, which consists of 20 distribution points for
the combined businesses.
Multiple scenarios, based on projected requirements, were developed and
modeled using SAILS (Strategic Analysis of Integrated Logistics Systems)
software. Resulting scenarios were evaluated against a projected baseline,
comparing customer service levels, total network operating costs, capital
investment, and one-time facility closure/relocation costs.
We presented our network recommendations to executive management, along
with a detailed strategic network analysis report documenting the overall
project and results. Shortly thereafter, the company was acquired by Boise
Cascade Corporation.
