## Project Overview
This project involved developing an optimization model to enhance the logistics network for Lavazza, a leading global coffee producer. The objective was to identify cost-saving opportunities by re-evaluating the network structure and considering the introduction of a satellite warehouse. The model analyzed various scenarios to determine the optimal warehouse configuration, aiming to reduce transportation costs by over 15%.

The analysis focused on:
- Assessing Lavazza’s existing logistics network and identifying inefficiencies.
- Utilizing optimization techniques to evaluate the impact of adding a satellite warehouse.
- Providing actionable insights to improve Lavazza’s operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.

## Technologies Used
- **Microsoft Excel**: Used for building the optimization model, performing scenario analysis, and visualizing results.
- **PowerPoint**: Created a business-oriented presentation to summarize findings, methodology, and recommendations.

## Repository Structure
- `Data/`: Contains logistics data utilized for the optimization model and cost analysis.
- `Output/`: Includes the final report(`Lavazza Case.pdf`) and presentation file.

## Key Insights
- Introducing a satellite warehouse could reduce Lavazza's logistics costs by approximately 15.36%.
- The optimization model identified Warehouse 4 as the most cost-effective location for the satellite warehouse, resulting in minimized total logistics costs.
- The analysis revealed that switching from less-than-truckload (LTL) to full-truckload (FTL) in specific routes could significantly reduce overall expenses.

## Instructions
1. Clone this repository.
2. Review the logistics data and optimization model details in `Data/`.
3. Open and review the final presentation in `Output/Lavazza Case.pdf` for detailed analysis and business recommendations.
4. Examine the Excel model (`Final_Output_Excel.xlsx`) to understand the scenario analysis and cost-saving calculations.
