 KFC "crisis" - rtj70
I get what you are saying... but getting bits of chicken to Inverness from Rugby on a regular basis (point to point) will take a driver all his driving hours. But the truck carries chicken for other places on the way. It has to be temperature controlled etc. No way does Inverness need an HGV load of chicken.

One hub is not a solution in my opinion although DHL and KFC think it is. Well thought it was.

If you had more hubs (like what the capable Bidvest had) then you can supply most places more easily. In the event of a problem you might be able to cover for a problem hub.

I am only making guesses, but Bidvest closed a site and made 250 redundant. This I am again guessing was the central hub handling KFC chicken. Bidvest then distributed from there to their spoke hubs. And from the spoke hubs to store. DHL are trying to send everything from the centre.

Next week we will have KFC customers with food poisoning if they do not fix this.

And getting them all delivered from Rugby is a challenge.
