“AmerCareRoyal is always quick to
respond. They do what’s needed to
satisfy our customers. No matter
who I contact they listen to me. If
they can’t help they get someone
on the line instead of passing me
around”
Procurement Manager,
Virtual Distributor
“Relative to some of the foodservice supply
industry’s bigger players, ACR blows them
away with their ability to be nimble. They were
able to find and get products into production
quicker and they were also able to make
needed modifications quicker than others.”
VP of Supply Chain,
Firehouse Subs
“We considered ACR because of
their value proposition. Price was
taken into consideration, but they
are also very comprehensive in
terms of actual product offerings.”

A Case for the Engagement
Rubik: Network Design - Deliver a positive customer experience through an
efficient logistics network that supports our customer service goals at a value.

8. 8/22/2022 ©2021 AmerCareRoyal 8
Rubik – A Case for the Engagement…
Operational challenges were evident and significant opportunities existed across key areas
Lower service levels (case fill rate) and increased number of order splits (multiple DCs) impacting customer experience
High cost to serve – inbound, network transfers and outbound transportation; DC storage and handling operating costs
Inefficient use of inventory / working capital – wrong product; wrong place
Lack of standardization - ordering and operating policies, replenishment guidelines, and purchasing policies
Opportunity to develop people (capabilities), make process improvements (IBP) and enhance systems (Planning / TMS)
Lack of overall knowledge about our supply chain network - true cost drivers and service implications not well known

Supply Chain Design Using Optimization and Simulation
Understanding Operational Feasibility and Increasing Organizational Buy-In
Optimization (Structure) Simulation (Performance)
Purpose • Prescribes overall network structure based on the
lowest total delivered cost, given a demand
requirement, alternative flow paths and facilities,
storage and sourcing constraints, and inventory
profiles
• Predicts how a proposed supply chain design will
operate providing customer service level metrics and
daily inventory levels
Granularity • Monthly
• Cases demanded by SKU
• Aggregated customers (3-digit zip codes pickup vs
shipped)
• Average costs
• Daily
• Orders
• Ship-to customers
• Detailed costs (ex. LTL weight breaks)
• ACR buying logic and inventory policies (GAINS)
• Receiving Capacity
• Service Policies (ex. backorders, partial orders)
Decisions/Outputs • Customer service territories
• Facility purpose and size
• Preferred stocking locations
• Inbound/outbound flow to/from each location
• Service levels (OTIF, Fill Rates, Splits, Lost Sales)
• Daily Inventory levels
• Operational costs
How they complement each
other
• Feeds simulation a network structure to test and
obtain operational results.
• Feeds optimization inventory levels based on service
targets.

The Hub & Spoke Networks
• Total costs similar or more.
• Reduced inventory were more than offset by double handing and transfer
costs to “spokes”
• C only Hubs, pushed up inventory buys of As and B’s at non-hub
locations offsetting expected inventory consolidation benefits of the C’s
• Case fill rates were lower across the board
Centralized Network
• Total Costs and Case Fill Rates similar to Planned Optimization; not worth
pursuing due to change in separate Customer orders
Bi-Coastal Network
• Lowest Total Cost network current demand, deemed too risky
• Substantial storage and receiving capacity expansion with forecasted demand

customer realignment
• Update master data settings
• Remap demand / drives new
DC requirements
• Leverage supply planning tools
• 3PL reductions
• Manage transfers
• Assess PO change
opportunities
Planning + Analysis
• Inbound activity review and
sourcing alignment
• Change POs / re-route
inbounds where possible
• Direct new / future inbound
POs to new DC default
locations
• Exception and gap
management with view
towards service
Inventory Execution
• Inventory drawdown –
mange down at existing
location
• Inventory transfers – fill
service gaps during
transition
• Inventory build at new
default location
• Place go-forward POs to
optimized location
Customer Realignment
• Communicate with customers
• Execute customer

Lines by Default Region
Achievable Savings Projections for 2022
Given considerable volatility and uncertainty of 2022 and the timing of the implementation activities, the strategic
savings opportunity has been discounted:
Projected Annual Savings: 19.8%
• Transfers between DCs will not be 100% eliminated: stock rebalancing needed; volatility in lead-times
• Customer delivery transportation improvements only 44% obtainable: not at targeted order fill rates
Resulting Achievable Annual Savings: 6.4%
• Implementation activities will take 6 months
Achievable Savings for 2022: 3.2%

Our Network Design Key Takeaways
• Increased knowledge of our overall Supply Chain network - understanding true cost drivers and
service implications through in-depth analysis (quantitative and qualitative) as well as external
benchmarking with our customers.
• Gained insights and better understanding of our operating policies (purchasing policies, splits order
impact, replenishment guidelines)
• Multiple strategic network scenarios evaluated to meet the needs of our near-term profitable growth
aspirations and commercial strategies
• The strategy is pragmatic and will deliver achievable savings and improved service levels through the
efficient deployment of our inventory working capital investment without significantly increasing our
network footprint
• Implementation work is underway - realigning customer service territories is expected to take 1H of
2022 and stabilizing by 2H. Note, both transition costs and accelerated savings are baked into the 2022
preliminary plan.
