1] Summary of Problem Background
The Soda- Soda seeks to optimise the supply chain results there are four scenarios to distribute the soft drinks from Melbourne to the different areas under the four scenarios. In analyzing the warehousing and transport costs this helps to determine the process operations that are most efficient in the supply chain .the lower the costs the more the savings. The distribution centre optimization is also prioritized as the supply chain design affects the efficiency and cost savings. reducing the supply chain disruptions is associated with improved performance where risks are contained and high volume system are appropriate decentralized supply chains as there is specialized capacity (Chopra & Sodhi, 2014). In forecasting the total costs of the supply chain transporting to the different centres is considered as is the inventory position. As the supply chain network is complex, considering the risks in using the multiple distribution centres is necessary to determine the supply chain capability (Christopher, 2016). The improvements in service delivery are possible based on the results of the supply chain network modelling results and links the supplies in the six markets. In choosing the location for distribution for the products the modelling techniques are relevant to improve the logistics network based on the options available. The observations focus on the different cost items, including the transport cost, warehouse costs and inventory costs as well as the trade offs in the supply chain.
