MORe: Service Examples

Examples of the types of questions MORe can help organisations answer are:

• What safety stock should we hold at each of our warehouses?
• Which product lines should we manufacture at each of our plants so as to minimise overhead expenses without blowing out other costs?
• How should our daily delivery routes be planned so as to minimise transportation cost while still retaining quality of service for our customers?
• What should our distribution network look like?
• Our company relies heavily on particularly capital intensive pieces of equipment: when should we plan to maintain, upgrade or replace this equipment?
• What is the right pricing structure for our range of products?
• Our people are our business: how can we plan shifts and construct rosters for staff so as to provide best service for our customers, while keeping our staff happy with their work schedules?
• We need to cut customer orders from stock lengths of material: what is the most efficient way to do this?
• The success of our business relies on packing items into containers: how can we do this quickly and efficiently?
• As a lending organization, how should we asses our clients risk of default, and how can we best anticipate and manage that risk?
