Refrigerated & Frozen Foods: Summarize La Terra Fina’s approach to supply chain and logistics?
Brian Slavin: It goes without saying that making sure our customers’ orders are always delivered on time and complete, at the highest quality and in the most cost-effective manner is our top priority. In addition, our approach at La Terra Fina is to ensure the accuracy of our raw material and finished goods inventory is maintained at the highest level possible, and that inventory is kept at the lowest level possible, so our carrying costs stay low—all while meeting our production requirements and customer orders.
