In the restaurant industry, problem-solving is key, requiring a blend of analytical thinking and hands-on management. One effective strategy is to optimize supply chain management to reduce costs and improve efficiency. This involves negotiating better terms with suppliers, implementing just-in-time inventory systems, and using data analytics to predict demand accurately. Another crucial aspect is maintaining high levels of staff training and engagement. Ensuring that all team members are equipped to handle challenges proactively and collaboratively is essential for success. #RestaurantIndustry #SupplyChainManagement #DataAnalytics #StaffTraining

One of our clients, a wholesaler in food en non-food, is facing a massive challenge: to level up with competitors in terms of costs, and become financially sound again, it decided on drastic strategic and operational changes. As in retail, wholesalers have to address a specific challenge: many employees are working on the shop floor to tight schedules. So, what are the options to work on the changes together with employees who are offline? Our strategy included many inventive solutions for this – with good results! Outcome: The wholesaler has been able to implement its new processes, systems and ways of working successfully. Its employees have been engaged and involved in actually making the change in their way of working as much as possible. And thus, the company built a solid foundation to further its strategic ambitions. 🛒Our strategy for making it work, can be found on our website:  https://lnkd.in/ezPTmfPq #WholesalerSuccess #RetailChallenges #EmployeeEngagement #OperationalChanges #StrategicAmbitions #SupplyChainSolutions #BusinessStrategy

In order to streamline #supplychain processes, Mike Sloboda from our friends over at Danone North America shares 3 tips that #food manufacturers can use to better serve retailers ⬇️ 1️⃣ Create a service-first mindset: "Weaving #data into these conversations not only removes complexity but also builds trust. Furthermore, it cultivates a culture of #innovation, as teams strive to create solutions that truly resonate with their #retail partners, fostering a dynamic and responsive partnership." 2️⃣. Establish clear communication channels: "It sounds simple, but many overlook the power of smaller, more frequent communications on items such as #inventory levels, order status and disruptions." 3️⃣ Break down silos: "Regular reviews and adjustments to adapt to changing circumstances are necessary and encourage a sense of ownership among team members, fostering commitment and accountability."
