Abstract:
|
In 2010, PepsiCo Beverage Company (PBC), an operating unit of PepsiCo Inc. (PepsiCo), the second largest food and beverage company in the world, received the supply chain innovation award from the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP). PepsiCo was given this award for its innovative distribution strategy, the “Direct to Store Delivery model”, that reduced system-wide inventory, eliminated warehouse space constraints, enhanced the potential for unlimited SKU growth, and delivered warehouse cost savings. After showing spectacular growth in the 1990s and early2000s, PBC found it difficult to manage its distribution centers and warehouses.
