It was Friday, June 27, 2008.The marketing manager responded after a brief of silence, "It is indeed true what the operations manager mentioned. But, if we want to enter wider market segments, it is a must for us to keep innovative products with more variants in the market. In the future, there is no doubt that innovative products like Fteh with various flavors will hold a strong market segment. Their contribution to revenue is increasing over time." "But too many variants of Fteh increase the difficulties in production and distribution activities. Our performance looks bad because we often experience out of stock situations for certain variants, but an excess of inventory for other Fteh products," the distribution manager continued. The other possibility is to deliver the products from the sales center to retailers who will then sell the products to the end customers. This is simply to please the wholesalers and retailers as they usually feel uncomfortable with a sudden price change (note that some other soft drink companies in Indonesia do not give wholesalers and retailers the privilege of knowing price increases well in advance, as this company does).Currently, Tehindo has two main interrelated businesses: one is in manufacturing and the other is in the distribution of tea products. Fruity tea is more directed toward teenagers and the distribution of products is through modern retail chains such as Sogo, Giant, Carrefour, Alfa, Superindo, Torseba, Yogya, and Indomaret. The marketing manager showed sales data of the two types of products, Goteh and Fteh. The second category is one-way product (OWP), where the packages will not be returned to the factory but will be disposed of after the products have been consumed. Downstream, the products are distributed through 11 regional sales centers located in Sumatera, Java, Bali, Kalimantan, and Sulawesi. The other model is to deliver the products through the wholesalers and retailers. Other factories produce both RGB and OWP products. The first is called return glass bottle (RGB), where the empty packages are returned to the factory and used to produce new products. However, this outsourcing practice is only for OWP products that are delivered through traditional rather than modern retail chains. Managing RGB products is certainly more complicated than OWP. The retailers here could be a supermarket, a shop, a restaurant, or other parties selling the products to the end customers. "We have too many product variants of fruity tea.

The opening of the factory created a significant increase in sales, reflecting a healthy market for tea products. As a consequence, the retailers and wholesalers hold larger inventories temporarily. Today, Tehindo produces three types of tea products. Currently, the company offers various flavors of Fteh including guava, strawberry, lemon, apple, and black currant.

For example, two factories in Sumatera supply the whole market area on Sumatera island, while the factory in Bali supplies Bali and the Nusa Tenggara market area. One of the challenges would be to ensure a smooth flow of the products downstream as well as the empty bottles upstream. From the figure, it is evident that some products are shipped directly to consumers. Finally, the company has recently worked with a third-party distributor to manage the distribution of the products. In the soft drink industry in general, there are two types of products according to their packaging. The manufacturing processes are based in ten manufacturing plants whose locations are spread across three islands in Indonesia: Sumatera, Java, and Bali. This enables the wholesalers and retailers to carry out forward buying. On August 15, 2008, the managers were engaged in another meeting. The issue of product variety once again became a hot topic. The marketing manager showed sales data of the two types of products, Goteh and Fteh. A newly appointed supply chain manager attended the meeting. There was a discussion on whether or not the company should reduce the product variants of the fruity tea.
