Network redesign success

The network of a leading manufacturer in the chemical industry no longer met their needs. Before replacing their warehouses, they needed to know what an optimal network looked like.

C.H. Robinson compared five separate scenarios using multiple greenfield analyses, a market intelligence review, and transportation rates from existing providers for each potential new lane.

C.H. Robinson collaborated with the manufacturer to model and identify several optimal site locations, which came with a 5% service level improvement and 10% reduction in transportation costs.
