| dc.description.abstract | Because of the inherent complexity of decision making in supply chains, there is a growing need for modeling supply chain system with different methodologies. A large number of manufacturing like soft drinks industry and service organizations are therefore seeking modeling systems that can help, identify and implement strategies for designing and improving their supply chain networks. Developing a supply chain management system requires the analysis of the flow of materials from the initial sourcing to the final end customers. Increased recognition is being placed, both in industry and in academia, on effective supply chain management. The term supply chain management (SCM) presupposes that there exists a supply chain to be managed. SCM has become a universal approach to cost effectiveness, timely delivery and the creation of growth oriented exchange system in goods and services. With a focus on SCM in which cost, inventory and time are the key challenges, this thesis develops a model to aid the improvement of performance of supply chain system. The model is developed based on existing SCM knowledge (Initiated or adopted from literature review and pervious research works of Vikas Chandra (India-IIT, 1999)[30] and Ato Abreham Debebe (Ethiopia-AAU, 2004)[29], result of the circulated questionnaires and, interviewed questionnaires, and the results of an assessment or observations of supply chain management in Ethiopian soft drinks industries. In order to make the research practical and realistic, an actual case study was conducted on an existing soft drinks company in Ethiopia, MOHA Soft Drinks Industry Share Company. The Nefas Silk Pepsi Plant current performances were compared with the supply chain model developed and some areas of improvements were identified such as distributions system, to minimize the cost of distribution channel, the researcher proposed direct sales using Telephone and Electronic channel to facilitate this, data base is designed for both (MOHA Soft Drinks Industry S.C. and East Africa Bottling S.C.) Ethiopian Soft Drinks Companies. Besides, the supply chain cost analysis saves Birr 2,171,780.17 (2.62 %) than the existing cost analysis.
