Questions
The original case written in 2016 takes the reader back to the pilot of Project Last Mile in Tanzania with the Medical Stores Department (MSD) in 2010. The project sponsors decided to focus on knowledge transfer rather than more direct support from Coca-Cola (e.g. transporting drug on Coca-Cola trucks). Was this a good decision? Justify your response.
Think about an alternative of piggy-backing medical supplies on Coca-Cola trucks. Coca-Cola makes plenty of profit and can surely add a few more trucks to its fleet. Critique this approach.
For Coca-Cola the Micro Distribution Centers provided the last mile logistics solution in Tanzania. List the pros and cons of using MDCs for medical and drug distribution. Suggest strategies to overcome the cons that you list.
