Advancing Foodservices Supply Chain Value for Franchised Operations

Advancing Foodservices Supply
Chain Value for Franchised Operations

Escalating commodity prices and costs of goods sold, less store traffic and the resulting revenue pressures, consumers looking for greater value and reduced pricing menus, degrading levels of trust in the brand and/or franchisee led groups—these are the realities for today’s food services franchised operations.

Creating Double-Digit Value in the Foodservices Supply Chain

Since 1990, Integrated Strategies has helped foodservice franchise organizations achieve double-digit supply chain value creation, while at the same time transferring the knowledge, tools and content so clients can replicate and sustain the improvement without external help. Value creation is measured in price/cost reductions, increased asset utilization, productivity improvements, employee job enrichment and revenue enhancements, all performed using Six-Sigma/Lean philosophies, tools and techniques

It’s no secret your supply chain costs make up 55-85% of your revenues. Both the company perspective (the brand) and the local perspective (the franchisees) must align to achieve full supply chain potential. Leveraging the good works already done, creating a future vision of accelerated success, integrating the full supply chain, and accelerating brand value, growth, speed to the market—these are all necessary components for engaging all stakeholders and realizing the full magnitude of the value creation opportunities. Remember, creating value is success, and Success is the Only Option!

Keys To Creating Foodservices Supply Chain Value

1.	Supply Chain Strategy: propelled by customer needs; driven by a system-wide core business strategy
2.	Cross-functional Integration: system components and functions are linked to the supply chain strategy and operating as one
3.	Taking Concept to Reality: “take it and use it” tools, processes, technology, and distribution systems are in place and creating value
4.	Measurable Results: behaviors and performance are demonstrated by doing, and confirmed through metrics
5.	Win-Win-Win Culture: brand, co-op, and franchise system-wide supply chain and employees getting better every day through continuous improvement
