Strategy
Outsourcing
"non-core" functions is a trend for many organizations,
so it is remarkable to witness a company bucking the tide
and successfully taking on management of its own distribution
and logistics operations.
The company,
Sheetz, Inc. of Altoona, Pa., is a national leader in the
convenience store industry. As a hybrid business offering
a large array of products and services at each location, Sheetz
needed an integrated supply chain that would capture both
retail and wholesale dollars and manage them to improve the
company's margins.
