Waitrose kicks off supply chain review
Waitrose has initiated a root and branch business review that will focus on its supply chain, it has been revealed.
Managing director Mark Price told The Grocer that the programme had been necessitated by the upmarket food retailer’s complex new business model, which includes convenience stores, franchise motorway outlets and two international stores in Dubai.
“We’ve needed to look at the way the whole business functions because we’ve grown quickly with the new formats and franchising,” Price told The Grocer.
“We wanted to look at how we get goods from our suppliers on to our shelves. Every part of the supply chain has been investigated. It is all about how we reshape the business to better meet those growth challenges.”
However, Price stressed that changes implemented in the wake of the review would not include redundancies.
Waitrose last week reported that like for like sales rose 1.8 per cent in the second quarter.
