Understanding the Supply Chain of Pepsi


The objective of every supply chain should be to maximize the overall value
generated. Thevalue of a supply chain generates is the difference between what the
final product is worth to thecustomer and the costs the supply chain incurs in
filling the customer�s request. (Chopra, Meindl2006)
Supply Chain Strategy or Design:
During this phase a company decides how to structure the supply chain over the next
severalyears. The company makes long term decisions in regards to location and
capacities of production and warehousing facilities, the products to be
manufactured or stored at variouslocations, the modes of transportation to be made,
information systems and so on. The supplychain design is very expensive to alter on
short notice and supports the company�s strategicobjectives. In order to ensure a
good supply chain strategy, Haidri Beverages plans two years inadvance. It has
several contracts with manufacturers, and receives raw material on a convenient
basis. The company also decides where production plants are to be placed. Haidri
has production plants at Peshawar and Islamabad. The production process is 65%
automated. The company hasto provide and manage transport for the delivery of
products as well as the arrangement of third party services for the procurement of
products. The shipping department handles orders and thetransport department

organization with respect to:1.Production (180,000 converted 250 ML crates per
day).2.Storage: Raw and packing (80,000 Sq Ft)3.Storage: Finished goods (120,000 Sq

beyond this budget. The supplier is audited by the most cost efficient quality
control department. Distributorsare also decided by the company, keeping in mind
past performances. The company hasincreased its distribution capacity from one to
six filling lines during the last few years lending ita competitive edge over Coca
