QUESTION 1 [6 MARKS]
KFC South Africa’s approach illustrates how purchasing has evolved from a narrow,
transactional role into a strategic contributor to supply chain management.
Localisation (2 marks):
By sourcing all poultry locally and reinforcing supplier audits during the 2023 avian flu
outbreak, KFC demonstrates that localisation is not only about convenience but also about
resilience and risk management. According to Monczka et al. (2021), strategic sourcing
aligns supply bases with corporate goals, ensuring supply continuity, cost efficiency, and
customer trust. This localisation strategy positions purchasing as a driver of both supply
security and competitive advantage.
