KFC SUPPLY CHAIN
KFC has a very simple supply chain. As the operations are on a relatively small scale, all the operations are performed by the company (i.e. Cupola) itself. The supply chain process can be summed up as a 3 step process:
Step 1:
Raw materials procured from various suppliers and stored at two warehouses; the normal-storage and the cold-storage. Details are discussed later.
Step 2:
All product preparation is done at the branch except for the marination of chicken and sold to customers at the branch itself or delivered at the desired locations.
Step 3:
Warehouses replenish each branch according to their requirement (usually three times a week)using company’s own vehicles and drivers upon the request of the branch manager.
