In this case study, we look at how SPAR’s international expertise and strategic partnerships is used to develop a more sustainable, responsive supply chain model in China. Precisely, we explore how SPAR’s team in Guangdong has partnered with Swire Beverages, a Coca-Cola franchisee to switch from loose-loaded deliveries to fully palleted deliveries. The project has three core objectives: * Improve labour efficiency in the end-to-end supply chain * Maximise the opportunities offered by recent standards set by the government * Maintain or decrease operational costs SPAR and Coca-Cola had to challenge themselves to overcome both physical and cultural obstacles to achieve the desired result. However, the success of the collaboration was due to: * A clear vision * Agreed goals and solutions * Exploring, evaluating and resolving differences Overall, the project has helped develop new ways of working within the Chinese market, setting new standards.
