019: Foxy Cola R1 enterprise structure

The business processes focus on the purchase and sales processes with the stock/requirements list as the basis for understanding how an integrated ERP system functions. Replenishment is triggered by Consumption-Based Planning. Manufacturing is outsourced. Warehousing is outsourced.

The Foxy Cola organisation is split into three separate companies located in the United Kingdom, Netherlands and Germany.

The company in the United Kingdom record sales within Great Britain and Ireland with warehouses in London, Birmingham and Dublin. Stock in the Dublin warehouse is sent to customers in Ireland and Northern Ireland while being replenished from the London warehouse. Stock in the London and Birmingham warehouse are sent to customers in England, Wales and Scotland depending on the location and availability.

The company in the Netherlands has one main warehouse in Eindhoven to supply the products to customers in the Benelux (Netherlands, Belgium and Luxemburg) whereas the German company serves the German market via their three main warehouses in Hamburg, Berlin, Düsseldorf and Munich.

Although manufacturing is out of scope, it is important to know that Foxy Cola has production plants located on the premises of the London and Hamburg warehouse. The production in the London plant is destined for the Great Britain and Ireland market, whereas the Hamburg plant covers demand in Germany and Benelux countries. However, stock can be moved between the London and Hamburg plants when necessary.

As Düsseldorf is located close to the Benelux countries, both Dutch and German companies have agreed that stock in the Düsseldorf warehouse may also be used for the Benelux market in case of shortages.

Sales in Belgium and Luxemburg are registered at a local office in Brussels which is associated to the Dutch Foxy Cola company.
