Introduction
The Hershey Company is the North American leader in the manufacturing of sugar
confections. Established in 1894 by Milton Hershey, the brand quickly became
known and loved for producing delicious milk chocolate. Built from a strong
community and good values, they established themselves as a trusted brand. As a
result, they grew their loyal customer base and business acquisitions.
Growing into a multinational corporation overnight, a top-notch supply chain
operations system was needed to support its growth. Hershey’s supply chain
portfolio is impressive and is designed to handle complexity. However, with a
failed attempt with an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, all of Hershey’s
supply chain came to a full halt in July 1999.
