Abstract
The current competitive environment requires greater customer orientation and better business performance to match the clients’ expectations with varied products and profitable sales prices. This has led to Supply Chain Management (SCM) as a source of competitive advantage. However, given the complexity of Supply Chain (SC) planning, optimization based quantitative models emerged as a support for decision-making. This article presents an empirical study with real data of a Portuguese company of the retail sector. In order to contribute with “tailor-for” quantitative models for improving decision-making in the company’s purchasing management, in this paper the industrial challenge and the company are introduced, followed by a preliminary data analysis. This analysis has require for deciding the real instances that will be used on the validation of the quantitative model that will be developed in future.
