logistics Issues
Wrapit’s plant however is 300 km from TT’s factory and shipping large quantities of empty plastic containers is practically the same as shipping large volumes of fresh air. The cost of packaging will be a large proportion of the final cost of producing smaller retail packs of the product.
There is a local supplier only 20 km away which can apparently supply the same quality at a lower cost. However TT has never deal with this other supplier, and in any case has a sense of loyalty to Wrapit, which has been a very reliable and responsive supplier over the years. After a brainstorming session, the management team at TT has come up with the following possibilities. It has not as yet paid any attention to the feasibility or appropriateness of any of them.
Supply Options for the Future
The five options are:
1. Continue the present supply relationship with Wrapit and negotiate a deal to cover the increased volumes and variety requires.
2. Invest in plastic moulding equipment, hire the appropriate expertise and integrate plastic container production, with the TT filling line effectively becoming a container maker.
3. Say ‘thank you but goodbye’ to Wrapit, negotiate a deal with the local supplier and source from it as soon as possible.
4. Suggest a partnering arrangement whereby Wrapit sets up a paint filling line, and that TT will ship paint in bulk to its site for filling and onward distribution to retailer distribution centres.
5. Contract for the supply of empty containers from an international source.
