This document outlines 27 projects across sales, distribution, operations, and procurement for a bakery company. The projects aimed to improve efficiencies, grow market share, ensure food safety, reduce costs, and formalize business processes. Key initiatives included restructuring markets and depots to improve service delivery, implementing dedicated merchandisers to boost retail sales, reducing driver shorts and overtime costs, gaining HACCP accreditation, growing the key Woolworths account, integrating the new Gauteng region structure after closing the Pretoria bakery, and establishing a procurement agreement with Sasol to save R12m for the Group.
