BREAKING THE CHAIN

DEMAND LED SUPPLY CHAIN

The outcomes of taking this approach results in multiple diversified supply chains, appropriate to the characteristics and order profiles of different food groups Reducing risk, and better allocating the right product through the right flow with the right resource and infrastructure at lowest end-to-end cost. In terms of real estate this would also result in a greater spread of food chain locations, for supply chains focusing on supply-led models real estate should be acquired in markets where rental values are relatively low. For demand-led supply chains strategic location analysis will be key, with proximity to key retail channels and urban populations critical in facilitating quick fulfilment times.
