The Pepsi distribution model operates almost like islands with different regions such as California, West, Southeast, and Northeast. The command structure is designed to flow down information about space allocation based on standards and algorithms to these business units, or BUs. These are essentially like five divisions of Pepsi North America. These divisions are supposed to relay information to retail teams. For example, Denver has its own standards based on various metrics like local market share and flavor assortments.

The planning is thorough, but execution depends on verification.
