SCM Case Presentation

Domino’s Pizza Distribution (DPD)
Mission Statement : “Exceptional People On A Mission To Be The Best Pizza Delivery Company In The World’

Domino’s Pizza Distribution Center Services
Food servic e
Equip. & Supply (E&S)

The goal of DPD is two-fold: 1) Streamline supply chain, eliminate non-value added activities 2) Reduce/eliminate logistics activities that stores need to perform

Distribution Structure

Pizza Outlet (4500)

Distribution Center (18)

Characteristics of Supply Chain
• • Few SKUs Known customers – Pizza Outlets:
? Accessible demand information



Complexity
? High Volume, High Velocity - 10000 deliveries per week ? Synchronous Processes ? Consistent product quality, standardization

Present Performance Metrics
• 10-15 hour order cycle time from initial order entry to dispatch • Actual delivery time ? 2 to 24 hours

• No order cut-offs even after the truck has left
• Currently ship 98% of their deliveries 100% correctly

Example of SC complexity
Information system solution provides a planning engine that allows this dynamic product planning

4 million pounds of dough produced and delivered to stores every week

Dough Distribution

Dough that is too young or too old shouldn’t be used

The dough is shipped keeping in mind the time for delivery

Shipment is initiated when the dough is young

Evolution of IT Systems in DPD

1980’s : UNIX based customized systems

Late 1990s : Strategic Shift towards ERP

Why ERP?



Integration of all systems
Work-Flow Driven, Real-time visibility



MIS system implementation
– – – – Optimized inventory Monitoring and co-ordination Dynamic delivery: Pizza dough according to age Sustainable competitive advantage
