November 2014 – Last month we invited you to see the inner workings of a produce distribution center. Now, 2013-2014 NC Growing Together Supply Chain Fellow Sebastian Naskaris has created two new walkthrough documents that show how meat moves through the supply chain with the same step-by-step explanation and helpful photos.
Process Walkthrough: Direct-Store Delivery (DSD) to Retail Grocery Destinations for Niche Meat Producers explains online casino the direct-to-store distribution process at a large-scale retail grocery store. It includes arrival, merchandising, unloading, receiving, placement in inventory, shelving, and markdowns.
Process Walkthrough at a Regional Meat Distribution Centerexplains the warehouse management systems through which meat moves from the vendor delivering product to the warehouse to shipment from the warehouse to the retailer. It includes arrival, unloading, quality control, receiving, placement in inventory, selection from inventory, and preparation for delivery.
You can find both process walkthroughs on the Resources for Producers page of the NCGT website.
