Using Optimisation and Machine Learning to Identify Optimum Store Locations, Numbers, and Formats


Optimisation – the key to solving complex network challenges

BearingPoint has been using analytics to support its supply chain projects for many years. Optimisation is a key tool, especially for network optimisation projects, but typically would be combined with other analytical methods.

We will present a short overview of the methodology to assess the future store network for a retailer, taking into account the changing behaviours of customers, with a blend of in-person and digital shopping.

Using client examples, we will demonstrate the mixture of machine learning (mostly clustering and determination of loss functions) and optimisation (for the actual network optimisation), to combine the statistical elements of the question with the prescriptive outputs generated through the optimisation model.

Finally, we will highlight some key outputs from a recent study as well as some lessons learned.
