    Definition and types of warehouses:-

    A warehouse is a building for storing goods.[1][2] Warehouses are used


    by manufacturers, importers, exporters, wholesalers, transport businesses, customs, etc. They are
    usually large plain buildings in industrial parks on the outskirts of cities, towns, or villages.

    They usually have loading docks to load and unload goods from trucks. Sometimes warehouses are
    designed for the loading and unloading of goods directly from railways, airports, or seaports. They
    often have cranes and forklifts for moving goods, which are usually placed
    on ISO standard pallets loaded into pallet racks. Stored goods can include any raw materials, packing
    materials, spare parts, components, or finished goods associated with agriculture, manufacturing,
    and production. In India and Hong Kong, a warehouse may be referred to as a "godown"

    What is supply chain management:- A supply chain is a network between a company and its
    suppliers to produce and distribute a specific product to the final buyer. This network includes
    different activities, people, entities, information, and resources. The supply chain also represents the
    steps it takes to get the product or service from its original state to the customer.

    Companies develop supply chains so they can reduce their costs and remain competitive in the
    business landscape.

    Supply chain management is a crucial process because an optimized supply chain results in lower
    costs and a faster production cycle.

    OBJECTIVES:-

    A supply chain is a network that connects a company to suppliers of raw materials. It is also used to
    deliver a product to customers. The better the supply chain management, the more of a competitive
    advantage the company has.

    Supply chains are steps that are required to get raw materials, products or services from the original
    state to the customer and improve customer relations. Large companies and projects usually have
    more than one supply chain, which is known as a supply network. Having supply chain managers and
    supply chain management is key to delivering customer value and maximizing the efficiency of your
    supply network.

    The supply chain process is fundamental to good supply chain management. It is used by companies
    to make their supply chain as efficient and cost-effective as possible and deliver customer value and
    give them a competitive advantage. There are five steps to the supply chain process. They are as
    follows.

    1. Planning

    In order to control inventory and the manufacturing process, companies must plan to match
    demand with supply. This prevents overspending on warehouse space or not having raw materials
    needed for your manufacturing and slowing down delivery of product.

    2. Sourcing

    This step involves finding those vendors who can get the goods and services you need when you
    need them. Sourcing is how you get supplies when you need them and meet the demand of your
    customers.

    3. Making

    Here is where those raw materials you procured are made into the products that meet your
    customers’ demand. This is where assembling, testing and packing occurs. Getting customer
    feedback is key to delivering customer value.

    4. Delivering

    Getting your finished product to the customer is the next crucial step in the SCM process. If you’re
    not able to get what you make to your customers all the previous steps are for naught. This makes
    delivering key to supply chain performance.

    5. Returning

    Returning or reverse logistics is part of what’s called post-delivery customer support process. It is
    important to have a clear channel for returns or risk tarnishing your brand. The company can then
    take these low quality, defective or expired materials and return them to their suppliers.

    Supply chain management in FMCG sector

    The Indian FMCG sector is a low-margin business where volume holds the key to success. With
    domestic consumption close to USD 17 billion, the FMCG sector today is one of the largest in the
    country and accounts for about 14.5 per cent of the GDP. In current global slowdown, increasing
    uncertainty in demand and supply, changing customer preferences, and shortening of product life
    cycle besides rigorous competition from multinational companies, this sector has been forced to
    reconfigure their supply chain strategy for their survival and growth. The present paper traces the
    development and trends of supply chain management practices followed by FMCG sector in India
    and suggest the ways to perfect it in order to remain competitive.
