Redesigning the distribution model for foods category and creating a dynamic tool for vendor-wise solutioning for future group supply chain (factory gate)

Abstract

The Key activities in the CCS projects are to A) Study the existing network design for Future Group Food business. B) Define all key parameters relevant to the solution design. C) Generate alternate/supporting mechanisms for primary distribution other than factory gate model. D) Using the above as inputs, design a simple tool which provides the optimum. solution considering product availability and distribution cost. The Project is limited to determining and defining the key parameters that are relevant for the adoption of Factory Gate Distribution Model. A framework will be developed that will help Future Supply chain identify suppliers with whom FG needs to be adopted. A simple tool will be developed that will provide solution considering critical factors like transportation cost, warehouse space, handling capacity and other requirements. The Factory Gate model discussion is limited to the Ambient Temperature DC Network and specifically food category & household product category.
