supply chain in the world.
Brent Clarke is the Strategic
Operations Director for the company
in Australia and New Zealand. He says
the acquisition of Keystone in 2012
has allowed them to truly expand on
a global level. There has been a lot of
leveraging of best practices globally
to ensure operational and functional
alignment and efficiency.
Blueprint for efficiency
“One of the things we have been
blessed with is our relationship with
McDonald’s. McDonald’s has been
very successful in their growth and
we’ve grown with them to a point
where capacity in our system is at a
premium and we are now stretched
beyond what I call an effective
distribution in some parts of the
region” Clarke explains.
Keeping it simple goes a long way
with logistics and while Martin Brower
delivers in excess of 1,000 different
SKU’s to over 1,100 restaurants,
consistency and communication is
critical. Timing means everything in
the world of fast food and on time
delivery success is achieved by
Martin Brower over 98% of the time.
Consumer demands mean the orders
are consistent with deliveries to
restaurants averaging 2-3 per week.
