Wine and Food Supply Chain Council:

We are a research organization composed of supply chain professionals committed to improving international supply chains for wine. We share the results of our research (but protect the data of our partners and collaborators). There are great opportunities to make wine and food supply chains lean. This concept is associated with the world of manufacturing, where it was introduced by Toyota. But some of the same issues apply to supply chains, though in new and sometimes unexpected ways.

The issues on which we focus are:

Elimination of waste This includes double-handling, such as moving wine among tanks, repacking bottles, repalletising cartons.
Management of variability Process time variability means downstream customers must endure occasional stock-outs or else protect themselves with extra inventory, an additional expense. Temperature variability damages wine by creating piston-like movements of the cork, which admits oxygen to the bottle.
Synchronisation and alignment All participants in the supply chain must coordinate to match production with consumption. But wine production requires long lead times and depends on unforeseeable factors such as weather.
Furthermore, many of the markets for alcohol are regulated in complex and arbitrary ways. Such factors create dilemmas all along the supply chain. For example, should the winery make-to-stock or make-to-order? Or should it produce unlabeled bottles for later customization? How can internet sales be facilitated? What will be the role of the distributor if the 3-tier system of distribution, now common in the US, is dismantled?
Continuous improvement There must be processes in place to constantly review and evaluate supply chain performance as a whole, and not just the independent enterprises along the chain. And the supply chain must look ahead to new challenges, such as carbon-based costs, or a reorganization of the current 3-tier distribution system in the World.
