The Brewers Dilemma
The Brewers Dilemma Case study background: A brewer is entering a new market in Africa with a 5 year investment. One of the key decisions is the sourcing strategy for cereals. The bottling plant will need to be near to the market so water for brewing will need to be sourced locally. But there is a choice of where to source the cereal. Objective of exercise: Play the role of the management team of the brewer and choose the cereal sourcing strategy for the new brewery.
The two options………….. Option 1 Import barley from global market Option 2 Grow an alternative crop locally in East Africa
Round 1: Commercials Option 1 - Import $m Comments Option 1 - Import $m Comments Supply chain infrastructure (in Africa) Capex ($m – annualised cost) (1.0) e.g. Storage facilities Opex ($m – annualised cost) (1.5) Global distribution costs Commodity cost (barley) Cost per tonne ($/t) 170 Demand (t) 14,700 Estimated annual cost ($m) (2.5) Total (5.0) Option 2 – Source locally $m Comments Supply chain infrastructure (in Africa) Capex ($m – annualised cost) (2.0) e.g. Storage facilities, farm to storage infrastructure Opex ($m – annualised cost) (1.5) Supply chain development, community investment and local staff and offices Commodity cost (Sorghum) Cost per tonne ($/t) 140 Demand (t) 14,700 Estimated annual cost ($m) (2.1) Total (5.6)
