Distribution: Fortna

Production: probably Deloitte out of the major firms

Fortna is the strongest in distribution for network and facilities design/launch.

Next would likely be Tompkins and then some mix of Dematic, Intelligrated, etc

I know our Strategy & Ops advisory practice at KPMG was named the Blue Yonder consulting partner of the year. We team with Blue yonder for most of our network optimization projects. Deloitte and McKinsey are very strong as well. Chainalytics is a boutique out of ATL (I think) who I’ve seen on a quite a few short lists in RFP responses.

A tad clarification. KPMG's Supply Chain & Ops is Blue Yonder's partner of the year.
This group will also use other tools for network optimization.
Moreover, we work with a group in Tax to do tax sensitive modeling. Often, if the tax reductions are factored into a network reset, the transition expense can be offset in the FFY of the new model.
