Conclusion
A peek at Kellogg’s operations and processes show that the three sections of the industrial supply chain need to interact to ensure goods or services reach consumers efficiently.
The efficient delivery of the product to the consumer at the right price, in the right place and at the right time, will result in good business for each link of the chain. This takes strategic planning and effective collaboration with all partners.
The company's collaboration with firms like TDG and Kimberly Clark, for logistics, and FDF, for environmental performance, has helped the company to build long-lasting relationships to value the end consumer.
Partnering with industry specialists benefits the business, the customer, and the environment, and shows how specialization has made Kellogg's supply chain management more cost-effective and socially responsible.
