The Operations Division plays a key economic role for all brands and markets, which has an impact on the overall cost of products and their distribution.
Economic optimisation efforts led by Operations involve tracking the total landed cost, i.e., the final full cost of a product, which includes the cost of packaging and raw materials, the value added by the plants and all supply chain costs.
