SITUATION

Our Client is a profitable business with strong brand recognition and holding a leading position in the South America Food & Beverage market. However, its Supply Chain struggles to meet customer demanding Service Level Agreement while keeping operational costs under control.

With little room for market growth, increasing service level is key to increase business profitability and consolidate customer loyalty.

 

 

PROBLEM

• Elaborate a business case to support the recommendations in improving Client’s profitability

​

​

RESULT
