Supply Chain Management in Purchasing Techniques and Materials in European Breweries: A Statistical Analysis
Abstract
The brewing industry is one of the largest and most significant industries in Europe, and supply chain management plays a vital role in the success of breweries. This study examines the purchasing techniques and materials used in European breweries and their impact on supply chain management. The study employs a statistical analysis of data collected from a sample of breweries in different regions of Europe. The results suggest that breweries that employ long-term contracts with suppliers, negotiate prices and delivery schedules, and implement quality control programs have better supply chain management practices. The findings of this study can be useful for breweries in improving their supply chain management practices and for researchers in further understanding the relationship between purchasing techniques and materials and supply chain management in European breweries.
