Musgrave Retail Partners Ireland, the operator of the SuperValue and Centra brands, has saved over €1.3m (£1.1m) from its supply chain through a combination of reducing road miles travelled and improving fuel efficiency in its transport operation.
Musgrave has an extensive supply chain operation in Ireland, delivering 80 million cases to 660 retailer stores across the country. The 5,900 deliveries undertaken each week meant the retailer's fleet travelled 12.98 million miles and used 7.1 million litres of diesel in 2009.
To improve supply chain efficiency and reduce costs, Musgrave's goal for 2010 was to reduce the number of miles travelled throughout the year by one million and improve fuel efficiency in the remaining miles travelled.
