Tariff & trade-policy redesign · 2025–26

Redesign your network for the new tariff regime — and prove it before you move a plant.

Tariff volatility is forcing sourcing and footprint decisions that need to happen now — and survive a policy reversal in 18 months. Re-optimize the network under the new duty rates, then simulate the redesign on the same model to prove it survives reality. One platform, one model, both engines.

The market doesn't need a tariff dashboard. It needs to redesign the network.

A tariff is just another variable — a cost coefficient on a sourcing or lane arc. The optimizer already weighs duties as one input among many. What's hard isn't naming the tariff. It's proving the redesign survives reality.

ERP, TMS, and S&OP can tell you what the current network is doing under the new costs. None of them redesign it. SCModeling does — and then proves the redesign by simulation on the same model, before any capital moves.

How it works

Three steps. One model. Two engines.

  1. Re-optimize the footprint under the new duty rates.Sourcing optimization minimizes total landed cost — tariffs and duties are a direct component, not a separate module. Cross-border, duty-relief schemes, indirect-tax implications are in scope, drawing on the proven SC Guru / EY methodology.
  2. Simulate the redesign on the same model.The optimized footprint runs as a discrete-event simulation on one common database — stochastic lead times, variability, supplier reliability. The model the optimizer designed is the model the simulator validates. No import/export, no second copy to drift.
  3. Defend the recommendation with proof, not a deck.An executive committee asking "but will it work?" gets a quantitative answer, on the same model, in the same tool. The optimize → validate loop is the conversion event for capital decisions of this size.

Why it fits this moment

Local-first by design

Sourcing data stays on your machine.

Contract terms, unit costs, supplier strategy — the most sensitive data the company owns. The SCModeling desktop product keeps it where it lives. The sandbox demo above uses sample data only; real network data never leaves your perimeter.

Methodology in the tool

Built for staffing-constrained teams.

Cuts to the OR / data-science bench mean fewer hands to drive a developer-platform. SCModeling's methodology is embedded in the tool — the discipline of a senior consultant, available to a single modeler.

Tariffs as one input, not the product

Built to outlast a policy cycle.

Tariff regimes change. The platform is broader and more durable than any one duty schedule. You're investing in network-design capability you'll re-use long after this regime settles.
