Fulfill Supply Chain Demand

Think about common shopping behavior and the differences between personal preferences. Some people shop daily for the items they need daily. This is, in fact, the common model still today in most of Europe and Asia. Other people go to the grocery store once a week and buy all of the items that they need for the week. Some people go to BJ’s or Sam’s or Costco and buy in very large quantities. What are the impacts on inventory in each scenario?

Think about:

• Storage
• Refrigeration
• Menu Planning
• Menu Execution
