Answer 1:
As shown below, the industrial supply chain is composed of three segments:

Raw materials, such as oil, coal, corn, and food stocks, are provided to the primary sector, which
is also referred to as the extractive sector. As a result, the primary sector can function efficiently
and facilitate the production of goods.

Secondary sector products are manufactured, built, and assembled. A manufacturer can combine
automobile parts to make a car, while a baker can create their goods by utilizing raw materials
from the primary sector.

Sector of tertiary goods -- Tertiary goods are primarily service industries without manufacturing.
Banking, retail, and transportation are among the services they offer.

A retailer is sometimes called a merchant. Retailers' sales of a final product are intended to
benefit consumers or end users. Primary sector businesses become retailers when they supply
products directly to consumers. Purchasing direct from the consumer and not converting it into
another product is considered direct marketing.
A coal producer might sell coal directly to a power plant so that it can consume it. Ultimately,
coal is used at the power plant. Another example is the fisherman selling his fish directly to the
customers. The supplier is paid directly by the user. On these occasions, the primary sector also
functions as the retailer.

Answer 2:
Kellogg's demonstrates effective supply chain management using a variety of companies and
divisions. The company handled supply chain more efficiently in terms of production, inventory,
storage, purchasing, and delivery. The company constantly examines the preferences of
consumers to ensure that it delivers the best products. Further, to keep the pricing policy
competitive, the organization still uses cost-effective solutions. Kellogg's successful marketing of
its products is another indication of its successful supply chain management. By further
improving the manufacturing process, Kellogg's will create sustainable changes that will boost
the entire industry. We can reduce the amount of waste produced from the cycle of processing by
reducing the amount of waste generated for the environment and human health.

To implement a successful supply chain management, Kellogg's adheres to the three principles
listed above.

(1) Kellogg's delivers its products using the Just-in-time technique. It allows suppliers to produce
only enough inventory to satisfy demand, and only a small amount of inventory will be retained.

(2) Kellogg must find balance wherever it can without sacrifice any segment of the supply chain.
Having to purchase from their partners via their agreements with TDG or relocating some
warehousing was one of the consequences of early delivery or failure to supply without enough
goods; now Kellogg's has a more effective logistics network.

(3) Computerized inventory holding systems ensure that shelves will always be full and order
fulfillment will be timely. Kellogg's can keep stock at a minimum this way. Moreover, ASDA
and TESCO have the option to not reduce their inventories.

By working in the organization and optimizing the income gained, Kelly's will increase sales
growth and allow changes in both the company and the community. A reduction in waste levels
will result in environmental changes. There can be no doubt that water is the most important
resource. Today, water shortages are a major concern, and reducing water pollution will be a
lesson to huge companies and manufacturers. Having a multinational company like Keellogg's
helps to deal with water scarcity.

Answer 3:

Businesses can focus more effectively on their producers of grains and other food products by
establishing good relationships with businesses in the tertiary sector. Kimberley Clark, for
instance, is Kellogg's transportation agent. Ultimately, Kellogg's prices will be more competitive
because of reducing distribution costs. The relationship with another business can also help
reduce the number of partially finished and empty vehicles on the road so that all goods can be
delivered at one time. Saving time, using fewer miles of road, and saving gas are three reasons to
use it. A good relationship with the region allows Kellogg to grow its business.

Answer 4:
Kellogg's collaboration with TDG boosts the efficiency of the company's delivery system, which
is its most significant benefit. It is a Just-in-Time system that is used by Kellogg's distribution,
and TDG can work seamlessly with it. When the shelves in a warehouse are empty, TDG's stock
holding system shows it immediately. Thus, there are always enough shelves and on-time
deliveries are made. Kellogg will benefit from having a small stock and avoid unnecessary
expenses. Additionally, TDG's dedicated transportation systems lower warehouse costs. Kellogg
will no longer have to make unnecessary payments. Further, they provide retail stores with
storage costs by partnering with ASDA and Tesco.
