, QUESTION 1
Core Logistics Activities Pick n Pay Could Carry Out to Fulfil Orders
1 Procurement and supplier coordination
Pick n Pay must source products from a wide network of local and international
suppliers. Effective procurement ensures that the right quantities of groceries,
clothing, and general merchandise are ordered at the right time and at competitive
prices. Strong coordination with suppliers helps reduce stock shortages and ensures
product quality across all stores and distribution centres (Pick n Pay, 2023). In the
case of imported goods, maritime transport plays an important role in moving large
volumes efficiently and cost effectively across borders (Ma, 2021).
