4. Operations Highlights
(Continued)
Automatic delivery of raw
materials cuts out a lot of the
"back-of-store" activities letting
store operators focus more on
sales and customer service.
The vertically integrated supply
chain lets Domino's leverage the
purchasing power of thousands
of company-owned and
franchised stores nationwide
which helps in keeping down
food costs.
5. Execution

Stores
Domestic Supply
Chain

globally is contributed by
International Stores.
• Operates six supply chain
centers which manufacture
dough and distribute food and
supplies.
• The company uses Vertically
Integrated Supply Chain.
• Food cost is kept low by
Automatic Raw Material
Delivery which reduces back
store activities’ costs.
• Company owned stores are
used as test grounds for new
products and technologies.
• The profit of stores is income
for company.
6. Problem faced ( Domino’s)
Delhi, Bangalore and Mumbai had three self-contained commissaries in
the initial stage.
Raw materials like wheat, vegetables, cheese and other ingredients
were brought to these commissaries ; were processed and transported
in refrigerated trucks to each outlet.
Opening of new stores across cities led to expectation of high rise in
volumes. Consequently, the model was removed.
Supply chain was the biggest area of expenses and it demanded to
be reworked. It was crucial to build a low cost supply chain operation
which takes costs out of the system and in turn gives greater pricing
flexibility in the market place.
7. Supply Chain Initiative
Strategy for procurement
The company decided to outsource the raw materials to overcome the
problem being faced in case of Domino’s.
Motive was to find the best quality product at the lowest cost
possible, based on agricultural map of India.
Examples:
Wheat from Jalandhar(Punjab)
Spices from South India
Cheese from Karnal (Haryana)
Tomatoes from Bhubaneshwar( Orissa) , etc.
8. Supply Chain Initiative
(continued)
Finding regions with certain crops as their specialty
Specialty crop regions were identified throughout the country.
The task of processing was allocated to commissary in that region.
For instance, the commissary for the eastern region in Kolkata was responsible for
buying tomatoes (sourced from Bhubaneswar), processing them and then sending
them to all the other commissaries. Similarly, the northern commissary had
to deliver pizza bases.
This strategy reduced the issue of duplication as well as perishability.
9. Supply Chain Initiative
(continued)
Strategy forVendors
Initially, many ingredients used to be imported by the company.
Nowadays, the whole process of procurement is localised.
The vendors are regularly visited by company executives to supervise
the functioning between the two sides.
Once a quarter, there are random unannounced audits and vendors keep
complying to be on the supply map.
Cheese, poultry, lamb, pepperoni, sauces, canned veggies and
condiments, dips and a bevy of choices move from vendor factories to
the four Domino's factories or commissaries in Noida, Mumbai, Kolkata
and Bangalore.
The processing of raw materials is done at respective commissaries.
10. Raw Materials Procurement under
new strategy
4 commissaries (Regional
Centralized Facilities)
across India:
Raw materials like wheat
brought in from Jalandhar
and sent to commissaries
via refrigerated trucks
Tomatoes, Capsicums and
Onions purchased locally
• Noida
• Bangalore(caters to 90
outlets across South Zone)
• Kolkata
• Mumbai
11. Supply Chain Initiative
(continued)
Transportation of Materials
The pizza dough and other items prepared
in commissaries are sent to the retail
outlets again in refrigerated trucks.
Each truck is enabled with GPS trackers,
which enables the area logistics managers
to access the temperature status in any of
these vehicles.
Tracking is essential since offloading
ingredients from the frozen trucks needs to
be done in 30 minutes flat as after that, the
temperature rises to 5 degree Celsius.
Lowering of cost was expected with third
party transportation.
13. Supply Chain Initiative
(continued)
Delivery in 30 minutes
Domino's introduced an integrated home delivery system from a
network of company outlets within 30 minutes of the order.
If the time taken to deliver the pizza is more than 30 minutes, the pie
comes free if it costs under Rs 300. And in case it costs more than that
amount, the company subtracts Rs 300 from the bill.
14. Implementation of “Delivery in
30 minutes”
Order to Oven 4 minutes
Baking time in Oven 6 minutes
Cutting, Packing and Pick up 5 minutes
Delivery Time 8 minutes
Buffer (Traffic or Rain) 7 minutes
Total 30 minutes
15. Impact of the Initiative
1. Transportation costs got lowered.
2. Procurement strategy led to decrease in procurement
expenses.
3. Economies of scale
4. Risk of duplication was also minimised as a result.
5. Minimized dangers of perishability.
6. Lowered the prices of pizza by savings from the logistics
model and the third-party transportation.
7. “Delivery in 30 minutes” improved the efficiency in terms
of delivery of pizzas by lowering the delivery time.
8. Quality assurance and low wastage
As a whole, the sales were increased for the company.
16. Major Impact
