(Meat)ings : operational and strategic challenges of a retailer meat supply chain

Year: 2014

Type: dissertation

Abstract: This business case is based in a 2015 project of review and analysis of the whole supply chain of the Meat Department from the major retailer in Portugal, SonaeMC. The main drivers for the existence of this project were the huge entropy within the department and the towering perishable shrinkage. We follow Célia Fialho and a final year graduating student, through four meetings to pinpoint critical issues to propose strategic and operational solutions to solve the above-mentioned issues and to improve the supply chain. The case is targeting strategy and operations management students (and similar), introducing main concepts and topics related and to present a real retailer supply chain in a change situation.
