Companies in a particular supply chain can work together to eliminate costs from the supply chain. In many cases, these cost savings are not shared evenly among the companies in the supply chain. Using research resources on the Web or in your library,
identify an industry in which savings are not shared equally. In two or three paragraphs, explain why some supply chain participants in your chosen industry can obtain more benefit than others from cost reductions in the supply chain.
One industry worth considering is the soft drink industry. PepsiCo, for example, realized energy savings opportunities of approximately $60 million after it implemented a carbon management strategy and used a proprietary energy assessment tool. The company then set out to engage and educate suppliers about the opportunities that exist if they followed suit.
