A recent evaluation highlighted

areas for improvement, such as the bakery operations in the SPAR store in one of the rural towns in the Free

State. This situation exemplifies broader operational challenges across the network, including inventory

management, customer service consistency, and the integration of sustainable practices. Given the situation with the SPAR bakery in one of the rural towns in the Free state as

described, propose two tailored strategies for operational improvement that Angelo and

his team could implement. Justify each strategy with specific reference to operational

management theories and the unique aspects of the case.
