Abstract

FoodCo’s Small Format Stores (SFS) has a complex distribution network characterized by geographically dispersed stores, low sales velocity, a strong bullwhip effect and distributor premiums not proportionate to the costs. To address the problems in small format distribution, we recommend collaboration & information sharing across the supply chain, and consolidation of all low volume shipments through a central re-distributor.
