摘要：Consumers today are demanding
an increasingly wide variety
of foods, retail formats, and
restaurant concepts. Food manufacturers,
distributors, retailers, and
foodservice operators face additional
demands as they strive to profitably
supply the large variety of
goods and services on time and in
the correct quantity.
The task facing the food industry
is neither easy nor cost-free.
Some food firms are responding to
the challenge by making innovative
operational changes, reshaping
how they work together with other
members of the food supply chain
and how they organize themselves
as individual companies. Most notably,
many food retailers are working
more closely with distributors
and manufacturers to best serve
the consumer. Also, many individual
firms at each stage of the supply
chain are adjusting the size
and scope of their operations.
