[7 marks]Case Study: Optimizing Delivery Routes at FreshMart Foods Background: FreshMart Foods is a growing online grocery retailer operating in Ahmedabad, with same-day delivery as a core value proposition. To meet increasing demand, they operate 3 urban distribution centers (DCs). The company has noticed high logistics costs and customer complaints due to late deliveries. After analysis, it was found that: Delivery routes were being manually planned each morning. Reverse logistics for damaged and returned goods was poorly coordinated. Their milk-run model often resulted in longer-than-expected delivery times. Inventory levels at the DCs were inconsistent, leading to stock-outs and overstocks. The management wants to implement a tech-enabled routing solution, optimize inventory levels, and re-evaluate their reverse logistics practices.
