Online, March 20, 2014 (Newswire.com) - Leading supply chain optimization specialists Oliver Wight have teamed up for the first time ever with optimization technology and prescriptive modelling specialists AIMMS and logistics solutions consultancy Districon to deliver a revolutionary supply chain optimization offering.

Organisations are set to gain a unique, integrated supply chain optimization solution from the fusion of expertise between these three leading practitioners.

Les Brookes, CEO of Oliver Wight EAME says, "Modern day organisations need the capability to respond quickly and intelligently to the ever-changing supply chain challenges at a strategic, tactical and operational level.
