Hardy Sales-Operations and Supply Chain Intern-Abhishek

Hardy Sales, one of the most reliable suppliers for perishable foods in Western Canada, distributes meat, deli, seafood, and bakery items to both Retail and Food Service customers through using warehouse facilities located in British Columbia and Alberta. A family business that opened doors in 1982, operating out of one of the owners’ basements, Hardy Sales has grown into one of Western Canada’s leading perishable food distributors. By constantly developing new product offerings and implementing new processes, we ensure to regularly improve our customers’ experience. This project will focus on identifying more cost-effective ways to operate a cold storage warehouse and will concentrate its attention on making operations more efficient; the intern will work on establishing a process that will optimize costs that are currently increasing throughout the supply chain industry. This project will identify, test, and implement various cost-saving measures, while allowing a student from the Operations and Supply Chain Management program at KPU to apply their knowledge and skills into real-life operations.
