Some ingredients are also arranged by the company from the other companies or nearest locations in order to reduce the costs.Manufacturer- The next step is concerned with the delivering of the ingredients to the manufacturer and the starting of the manufacturing process. Some bottling plants are owned by PepsiCo themselves while some are provided authority by PepsiCo for the manufacturing of finished beverages. The raw materials such as glass, silica and aluminum are utilized for the purpose of manufacturing of bottles in which the drinks are bottled after production. They are then directed towards the warehouse so that the further dissemination of the bottles can be initiated. Warehouse and Distribution- The drinks are then delivered to the warehouses. For the purpose ofdistribution of its products in the market, PepsiCo follows a three channel process- direct store delivery, third party distributer networks and customer warehouse (Bailey, 2014).Wholesalers and Retailers- The distributers further distribute the stock available with them to thewholesalers and suppliers operating in different regions of the country.
