The Supply Master title style
Industry in India.

Abstract:

• Worldwide, interest in supply chain management has increased steadily since the 1980s when companies
began to see the benefits of collaborative relationships. The supply chain concept is sill nascent in India.
However the need for the same, at this stage, is more than ever before because of the challenges
unleashed on the competitiveness of the India industry by deregulation and globalization.

Role of Customer in SCM:

• Over the past tree decades, Customer expectations have risen by leaps and bounds. Customers continue to
become more sophisticated and interested in innovative products and customized services.They are
becoming more unpredictable in their wants and needs. At the same time, they continue to expect and
demand more “Value” from brands.
• Heightened competition has given customers tremendous freedom of choice – a freedom they have been
increasingly willing to exercise. Thus, to achieve sustainable advantage in this competitive scenario, it is
imperative for businesses to service the needs of their customers excellently across any and all points.

Stanford Supply Chain Foram defines – “Supply Chain Management deals with the management of
materials, information and financial flow in a network consisting of suppliers, manufacturers, distrbutions
and customers.”

Perspective of SCM:

• First common prospective in SCM is geographical flow. In that geographical flow we get more challenges. It
about the from sourcing the material to till material dispatching at the customer end. And also bear the risk for
it.
• From the Customer to Supplier the quantity will be increases. If the customer order one Titan’s watch but

• However, being the dependent on an individual source for raw materials , we can face the significant risk
and it may can stop the production if the supplier suffer or experiences manufacturing or supply
problems.

• There to taking proactive approach to preventing stock outage and that’s where incorporating a second
supplier, as backup, becomes crucial.

• What’s more, appointing second and third source suppliers for all strategic raw materials creates greater
competition, thereby allowing manufacturers to bench-mark prices.

• Speaking on the importance of multiple-source suppliers and their role in the industry, Darrell Howard,
Managing Director at East Harbour Group, said: “At East Harbour Group, we believe in the value of
having a diverse supplier network. We also believe that identifying second-source suppliers is essential
to creating resilience in supply chains, thereby aiding the continued success of our customers.”

Supply styleManagement For SMBS
-Supplychainbrain
• SMBS stands for Small and medium-sized business. Small and medium-sized businesses encounter significantly
different challenges in managing their supply chains than larger organizations. Many SMBs lack the financial power
to deploy technology tools, and are at a lower level of enterprise resource planning (ERP) sophistication.

Unique Characteristics of SMBs

• They need strong business-intelligence and reporting capabilities, yet are unable to afford complex supply chain
software implementations.
• They’re unable to augment staffing required to support the required tools. Therefore, they need systems that can be
easily implemented and managed by existing staff or minimal staff additions.
• They can be technology savvy in some functions while not in others, and often lack the organizational planning,
pathways and structure for technology adoption.
• They tend to be very fast and respond quickly to market changes, so they need systems that are flexible, and easy
to configure and change

For any SMB, the firstMaster title
consideration style
in designing a supply chain is where to focus. Following are some metrics
for each supply chain segment:
Design:
Quantity or percentage of product/SKU by design type; margin by type, and forecast-to-actual by product type.
These metrics assist in product rationalization and, subsequently, improving the supply chain by reducing sourcing.

Source:
Number of suppliers, supplier compliance rate, supplier availability, supplier defect rate, and order lead time.
These assist in developing a reliable supplier base and providing risk-management options.

Make:
Inventory turnover, shrinkage (actual stock count versus on record), inventory age, and order cycle time. While
these are primarily inventory-related, they provide insights into what’s being made and should be consistent with the
design and sourcing metrics.

Deliver:
Order fill rate, order delivery quality, and average delivery time. These capture delivery effectiveness and
efficiency.

Service:
Service response time, service resolution rate and returns percentage of total. These capture the alignment

of
product quality with delivery.

Click to edit Master title style
• As industries reevaluate long-standing sourcing strategies and strive for greater
flexibility in their distribution streams, the focus may shift to North America, with the

• U.S. becoming a more attractive location for manufacturing. Those companies

that are the most agile, adaptable and quickest to take advantage of a regionally
based product pipeline will come out on top.

• The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent supply interruptions have shown

the risk of an extended and concentrated supply chain. Business leaders
have been forced to reevaluate supply chains, especially those with ties to China.

• Now, the best solutions may be closer, geographically speaking, than one might realize. It’s time to capitalize on
regionalization.

• Regionalized production has many competitive benefits over centralization, including less currency risk, reduced
impact of geopolitical issues, and the ability to alter manufacturing capacity in various locations, depending on
given situations.

 3. NEW STRATEGIES FOR DE-RISKING GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAINS
Click to edit Master title style
Nearshoring and Friend-Schoring

A regionalized approach will likely include nearshoring and friend-shoring. Nearshoring affords operational
proximity, with sourcing and production closer to the end market.
The shorter the supply journey, the more adaptable it can be, especially in the deployment of people and
resources.
There’s less travel, time zones and work hours are the same, communication and follow-up happen faster, and
the overall process is simpler
Friend-shoring involves the establishment of trusting relationships with suppliers, focusing on countries that align
in values, economies, styles of government and other factors.

Working with supplier to create flexibility

It’s becoming increasingly critical to understand how and where supplier source materials. In the past,
companies had supplier development engineers on staff. . They weren't just purchasing agents; they worked
directly with suppliers to develop the latter’s business and outputs. This approach creates a strong, loyal
relationship by supporting the supplier’s business and helping it to grow.
For increased flexibility, consider having multiple sources for the same category of products. If one supplier
shuts down, there are secondary sources to take over immediately. Such a strategy adds additional costs, or
course, so it’s necessary to strike a comfortable balance. 3939
 4. The Challenges And Solutions Of Data Interoperability And
Integrity
Click to edit MasterIn Smart Supply Chain Infrastructures
title style
“Smart supply chains,” an umbrella term for the integration of advanced technologies into operations. By leveraging
modern technologies such as the internet of things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI), organizations can create
more efficient supply chains that can adapt to the ever-changing needs of businesses and consumers.
In this post, we will explore some of the most pressing challenges facing smart supply chain infrastructures, along
with the technologies that must be leveraged to address them.

Challenge 1: Lack of Data Interoperability

• In smart supply chain infrastructures, there are multiple stakeholders involved in the movement of goods, including
manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and consumers. Smart supply chains require a robust ability for each of these
entities to freely exchange information — all stakeholders must have access to the same real-time data.

• However, each stakeholder may use different data formats, protocols, and platforms, all of which can hinder data
interoperability. This lack of supply chain visibility, which has been noted by the Brookings Institute as well as
numerous researchers, can lead to data silos, duplication of efforts, and delays in information sharing. Smart supply
chains are only as smart as the data they have access to. If that data is inconsistent or suffers from time delays, any
gains in efficiency will be greatly diminished.

 4. The Challenges And Solutions Of Data Interoperability And
Integrity
Click to edit In Smart
Master Supply Chain Infrastructures
title style
Solution: Data Virtualization
• Virtualization is a vast and complex concept, but at its core it involves using software to create a “virtual layer”
of simplification over very complex data architecture.
• Data virtualization technology can help solve the problem of data interoperability by creating a unified view of
an organization’s supply chain data across disparate sources without physically integrating the data.
• By providing a single source of truth, data virtualization ensures that all stakeholders are on the same page and
can make informed decisions based on accurate and up-to-date information.

Challenge 2: Lack of Data Integrity

Data integrity is another critical challenge in smart supply chain infrastructures. With the large volume of data
being generated and processed, there is a risk of data being tampered with, lost, or stolen. This can lead to
supply chain disruptions, loss of revenue, and damage to brand reputation.
Solution: Blockchain Technology
Blockchain technology, which can provide a secure and transparent way to track and verify transactions.
has gained notoriety largely in relation to Bitcoin. But the ability to create a means of recording information that is
nearly impossible to hack or manipulate has applications in a wide range of industries. This can help prevent
fraud, reduce errors, and increase trust between supply chain partners

 5. Is Your Supply Chain Prepared for a Recession?
Click to edit Master title style
Inflation and recession are two words that keep both consumers and chief
Finance officer up at night.

To emerge from a recessionary period leaner and better equipped to scale during
expansionary periods, businesses need the right people, strategies and tools to
make the supply chain recession-proof. Following are some tips for achieving
those objectives

Automate and optimize. Automation is crucial during recessions because it can

save valuable cashflow and prevent the need to pass on higher costs to
customers.

An inevitable by-product of economic downturns is changing customer demand. But because every recession is
different, basing supply chain plans on historical trends is unlikely to work.
Focus on customer centric. Keeping customers happy is vital to maximizing sales and building the brand.
Partner with third parties to improve efficiency.

Third-party logistics providers offer another way to take the burden off internal operations. They can handle
everything from inventory storage to order fulfillment. #PLs offer the benefits of warehouse automation, such as
advanced robotics, without costly capital investment. 42

6. How To Increase Opportunities For Women In The Supply Chain
Click to edit Master title style
 Supply chain leaders might be shocked to learn that the percentage of women in work force has decreased since 2021.
In that year, women constituted 41% of the total supply chain workforce. Today, that number has dropped to 39%. In this
respect, it seems like the industry is regressing rather than progressing.

Why the Scarcity?

Following are some factors contributing to the scarcity of female leaders in supply chain industry.
• Lack of career advancement opportunities. Mid-career women are leaving their organizations in droves.

• This issue manifests in various ways. For instance, women may be overlooked for promotions and development
opportunities because of a perceived lack of confidence, even when they possess the necessary skills and qualifications.
• Likewise, when women lack a strong network, they miss out on opportunities. They need mentors and sponsors to guide
their career path

 Work-life balance and flexibility challenges. Although traditional roles have evolved, women are still often regarded as the
primary caregivers in families, bearing the brunt of domestic care responsibilities. Both genders might start in the same
organizational role, but family life, children and other obligations can prevent women from accessing the same
opportunities as men.

 The pandemic further exacerbated this issue. As schools and offices closed, children and parents were confined to their
homes. With the blurring of boundaries between work and home, parents struggled to balance professional
responsibilities with childcare. By May 2021, about 400,000 more women than men left the workforce since the start 44of

the pandemic to take over childcare duties.

What Should Organizations Do ?

Following are some steps can take empower women in supply chain.:
 Provide training and development opportunity.
 Bridge the pay gap. As women may be less assertive during pay negotiations or salary
increments, companies should provide resources to help them communicate their salary
expectations effectively.
 Implement diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) initiatives.
 Offering flexible work hours and remote work options, for example, can help them to continue their career
progression.

What Can Women Do?

Following are some actions that women can take the encourage change.:

 Build confidence and communicate priorities.

 Take accountability for their careers.
 Build a network of supply chain superheroes.
 Pass the Ladder down, Women need to lean on each other to move forward.
 While much work remains to be done, organizations and women can collaborate to create an equitable industry that
values both male and female leadership. By working together and lifting one another up, the industry can pave the

Click to edit Master title style
• Complex and diverse supply chains help cities by making them resistant to sudden supply chain shocks, according
to a recently published paper from researchers at Pennsylvania State University,

• We found that complexity can be a good thing,” said Alfonso Mejia, the paper’s corresponding author and an
associate professor of civil and environmental engineering at Penn State.

• “Cities with diverse supply chains — sources from a broad range of domestic and global suppliers — appear to be
better protected against shocks, and experience less-intense shortages. Large cities like New York and Chicago,
just by being large and having less dependency on specific supply partners, are less affected by supply chain
interruptions. But medium cities are hurt by a lack of diversity when sourcing the supplies they need.”

• The researchers were able to determine that medium-sized cities, in particular, experienced less intense supply
chain shocks, on average, when they increased supplier diversity.

• They said the potential benefits of supply chain complexity would be most evident in cities that had populations between
100,000 and 500,000.They also found that the intensity of supply chain shocks experienced by cities sharply decreased
when they had a larger relative network of supply chains

Introduction:

Bulk cargo poses unique handling and transportation challenges, due to its
volume and weight.

cargo from various origins to various destinations. These systems are often
utilized at seaports, inland container terminals, and extensive overland networks
such as railways.

What is Bulk Cargo?

Bulk cargo refers to unpackaged goods moved in large quantities and

transported in vessels specifically designed for this purpose, such as bulk carriers
or dry bulk ships. Examples of bulk cargo include grains, coal, iron ore, cement, and fertilizers.

requirements.
