BBC news reported that Bidvest has signed a new agreement with KFC UK & Ireland to supply up to 350 of its 900 restaurants. All of KFC's chicken was delivered by Bidvest until February 13, when the supply contract was switched to DHL, which uses software developed by the firm Quick Service Logistics (QSL). “Our focus remains on ensuring our customers can enjoy our chicken without further disruption,” said a KFC spokesperson. “My experience in supply chain risk generally finds that disruptions of this nature don’t magically and instantaneously happen,” he explained. “Decisions made in the early stages of the transition can have a significant impact on the risk profile of the future supply chain and the severity of a potential disruption.”
