Mapping cost and service pressure across a national frozen supply chain
The context
National poultry & food producer. The frozen supply chain — production through cold storage to customers — was carrying rising cost and service pressure, without a clear, data-backed view of where value was being lost.
What we did
- End-to-end assessment of frozen product flows from production sites through cold storage to customer channels
- Analysed transactional demand, customer and inventory data at SKU-location level
- Reviewed cold-storage footprint, capacity and external provider arrangements
- Identified and prioritised cost and service opportunities across inventory, storage and flows
The results
- Clear, evidenced view of frozen cost-to-serve
- Prioritised opportunity set across inventory, storage and network flows
- Evidence base for subsequent network and planning decisions
