Food and beverage companies face many unique supply chain challenges. These include complex inventory control and allocation requirements, increasingly challenging regulatory/product recalls, RFID, slow growth markets that necessitate continuous cost reduction, high transportation costs, and both plant-direct and “mixing center” distribution models. In addition, many food and beverage companies are involved in direct store delivery, which create further logistics challenges.
