In Part II, the eight key pillars that are essential for creating high-performing foodservice supply chains are presented. Part III provides a diagnostic methodology for assessing the performance of a supply system, including the determination of its benefits and return on investment. Each chapter includes learning objectives, key terms, discussion questions, and a case example that runs throughout the book to support connections between critical concepts and real-world application.
