Serving Up a Successful Supply Chain Strategy
The company owns no factories or distribution centers so communication with suppliers is a necessity. The company constantly tracks everything from daily point-of-sale data for each item, restaurant stock levels and its marketing plans for promotional items or local menus to distribution center shipments and inventories. The company handles 16 major suppliers.
The operation requires knowing who is responsible for planning each task and carrying out those plans. The supply chain also needs to anticipate future demands and changes in sales volume.
