Demo optimization of internal Supply Chain for Multinational Enterprise. Transfer Prices and Flows of Goods are optimizing simultaneously. Yield from simultaneous optimization = 2.7% of additional profit in comparison with sequential optimization.

1. Optimal Management, LLC
Demo calculation for optimization of simplified
supply chain in multinational enterprise
The comparison of
Two-step optimization
• first optimization of production and logistic (minimizing costs),
• then optimization of taxation (maximizing profit by varying
transfer prices)
One-step simultaneous optimization of transfer prices,
production and logistic parameters

• Subsidiary 1 in Country A produces Raw Material and sells it
to Subsidiary 2 in Country A and Subsidiary 4 in Country C.
• Subsidiary 2 in Country A produces Finished Product and
sells it to Subsidiary 3 in Country B and Subsidiary 5 in
Country C.
• Subsidiary 4 in Country C produces Finished Product and
sells it to Subsidiary 3 in Country B and Subsidiary 5 in
Country C.
• Subsidiary 3 in Country B sells Finished Product to Market
zone 1, Market zone 2 and Market zone 3.

• The more advanced the supply chain (more
goods positions and more nodes in the
chain), the greater the effect of
simultaneous optimization of flow of goods
and transfer prices.
• For an advanced supply chain (more goods
positions and more nodes in the chain),
you can’t do optimization calculation using
Excel.

Solution as a
service
While product is being developed, we offer solution as a
service.
The entire service process consists of the following steps:
• Research of basic structure of customer’s supply chain
• Estimation of costs on calculation and full data gathering
• Approval for parameters to be taken into account
• Fitting of the math model to the client’s needs
• Gathering all necessary data for the developed model
• Transformation of gathered data into computational model
• Performing the calculation
• Applying the results
By analogy to the tasks of logistics optimization, static model
calculates parameters for 18 months ahead every 6 months.
Dynamic model calculates weekly or monthly.
