- 0:25so hello dear students welcome back to
- 0:26nptl online course on Logistics and
- 0:28Supply Chain management so in the last
- 0:31session we discussed about uh the supply
- 0:34chain aspects when we are talking about
- 0:36the Product Industry and then how it is
- 0:39different when we are handling the
- 0:40services right and the major challenge
- 0:42for services industry we have seen in
- 0:44terms of the customized Services we have
- 0:47to provide because customer is very much
- 0:50part of your uh production process right
- 0:53but in case of your product supply chain
- 0:56customer is not part of your production
- 0:58process and the other big advantage in
- 1:01production supply chain is that we can
- 1:03utilize the you know free time and
- 1:05produce some inventories and later on
- 1:07Whenever there will be demand we can uh
- 1:10you know push that inventory into the
- 1:12market so that smooth supply chain can
- 1:14be ensured but on the other hand we have
- 1:16seen this is as big challenge in your
- 1:18services industry when you know when for
- 1:21some time there is no uh customer at
- 1:24your uh you know shop and then suddenly
- 1:26customers are coming and then uh you
- 1:29need to manage the big Q because uh
- 1:31because in that way maybe you are
- 1:32limited with your resources as well you
- 1:34cannot open those many temporary you
- 1:37know service channels so that it it can
- 1:39be moved uh very quickly right so in
- 1:43that way it is again Big Challenge so
- 1:46now we will uh continue our discussion
- 1:49on supply chain main concept and we'll
- 1:51see what are the principal streams of
- 1:54Supply Chain management right so again
- 1:57I'm Dr vikas takur assistant professor
- 1:59Department of humanities and social
- 2:01sciences IIT kakur so under this session
- 2:03we'll we'll spend couple of session on
- 2:06this discussing because this is again
- 2:07very important part where we'll again
- 2:10divide the complete supply chain into
- 2:13three parts right so first stream we'll
- 2:15see uh so if I'll highlight with the
- 2:19diagram again very basic diagram again
- 2:22and again I'm plotting here we have
- 2:25suppliers here we have manufacturers
- 2:28co-manufacturers here we have
- 2:30distribution Network which is reaching
- 2:32to our end customer right so first
- 2:34stream talks about this whatever we are
- 2:38doing here that is your first stream
- 2:41right second stream talks about this
- 2:43manufacturing things manufacturer
- 2:46co-manufacturers all will come in second
- 2:48stream third stream talks about you know
- 2:52how we are delivering the finished
- 2:54product not only driving in between how
- 2:57we are storing how we are distribu in
- 3:00shipping all those things under the
- 3:02third stream right so this concept you
- 3:05need to keep in mind while we'll go
- 3:07through this session that we have
- 3:09divided the three this supply chain into
- 3:12three different streams right so we'll
- 3:15discuss the concepts under each stream
- 3:17in that way and then towards the end
- 3:19we'll discuss some uh other key concepts
- 3:23related to Supply Chain management and
- 3:25obviously uh like we are doing we'll end
- 3:28this uh discussion as well with small
- 3:30case
- 3:31study so already I talked about your uh
- 3:34all these streams so you can see this as
- 3:37your first stream then your this is your
- 3:39second stream and this is your third
- 3:42stream we'll see quickly just I'll
- 3:44introduce so uh procurement Supply and
- 3:48sourcing management the name suggest
- 3:50that means how we are acquiring the
- 3:52goods and services so while you are
- 3:55acquiring the goods and services you
- 3:56need to Source you need to purchase you
- 3:58need to ensure the smooth supply of the
- 4:00supply chain these are some of the
- 4:02objectives and the other objectives are
- 4:05when you are ensuring that uh
- 4:07acquisition of the uh resources in terms
- 4:10of your goods or services right you need
- 4:13to optimize the cost that is first point
- 4:15how cheaply you are getting your
- 4:17resources that doesn't mean you need to
- 4:19compromise with the quality you need to
- 4:22maintain the quality level as well and
- 4:24then you need to be efficient as well
- 4:26and then you need to ensure that a
- 4:30smooth Supply can be ensured through
- 4:31your this first stream right if anything
- 4:35goes wrong with your suppliers so how
- 4:37you will you know come up with your
- 4:39contingency plans and maybe you will
- 4:41find out some alternative or if you are
- 4:44having multiple suppliers only then that
- 4:46can be implemented talking about your
- 4:48operation material and production
- 4:50management simply again says whatever we
- 4:53are doing in house that production floor
- 4:54we are all the supplies are coming we
- 4:57are storing in the storage we are
- 4:58ensuring the quality of the incoming we
- 5:01are moving step by step those you know
- 5:04inventories to the production floor as
- 5:07and when required maybe all the model we
- 5:10are not preparing right now we talked
- 5:12about in every product category we have
- 5:14different models right so if we'll talk
- 5:16about iPhone iPhone 15 is coming so
- 5:19iPhone 15 mini and then iPhone 15 with
- 5:22the you know uh standard capacity then
- 5:26you have with enhanced capacity pro
- 5:28version and those many things are there
- 5:30as for the screen size and then if
- 5:32you'll talk about automobile industry as
- 5:34per the engine capacity color all those
- 5:37things fuel you are using right the uh
- 5:41the technology you are using so in that
- 5:43way those different models you are
- 5:45preparing maybe on the same production
- 5:47line where you are repetitively you are
- 5:50changing from one model to other model
- 5:52or maybe you are having some few
- 5:54dedicated production lines two three
- 5:56production line to produce maybe eight
- 5:58or 10 models because one dedicated uh
- 6:01for one model production line assembly
- 6:03we try to avoid because that much you
- 6:06know uh demand is coming from the market
- 6:09or not we need to ensure so otherwise
- 6:11that capacity will be unutilized so that
- 6:13we need to ensure through your
- 6:15production process whatever is happening
- 6:17within that production floor till we are
- 6:19packaging that product and our outgoing
- 6:21Quality Control Department is saying
- 6:23that as per sampling we have checked and
- 6:25this final product is ready we can ship
- 6:28it then up to that we'll see the second
- 6:30stream how it is working right and then
- 6:33talking about the third stream which is
- 6:35you know connecting your manufacturer
- 6:38with the End customer is your through
- 6:40your wholesaler distributor retailers
- 6:43and then you are storing in in between
- 6:46so all those things will come into
- 6:47picture right so your transportation
- 6:49part warehousing Inventory management
- 6:52how you are fulfilling the order right
- 6:54and distribution design whether you are
- 6:56doing Doorstep Delivery or your customer
- 6:58is coming to your location picking up
- 7:00the product or customer is placing the
- 7:02order online or customer is physically
- 7:05visiting your store but you have to
- 7:06deliver the product at the customer
- 7:08doorstep so many different models are
- 7:10there again we'll talk about that
- 7:13distribution how we'll design the
- 7:14distribution Network and each
- 7:16distribution is having you know effect
- 7:19on the cost is one part and the services
- 7:22provided to the customer on the other
- 7:23part so we'll see how we'll uh um when
- 7:27we'll discuss different those
- 7:28distribution uh options Network options
- 7:32we'll see somewhere how we are you know
- 7:34going more responsive so cost is also
- 7:37increasing and then we are if we are in
- 7:39decreasing the responsiveness so you can
- 7:41be efficient in that way so that we will
- 7:43discuss this is all about all three
- 7:46major streams when we are talking about
- 7:47the supply chain so under first stream
- 7:50these are the three basic concepts we'll
- 7:53try to touch sourcing management
- 7:56procurement management and Supply
- 7:57management so first you need to
- 8:00understand this the flow I have designed
- 8:01first is your sourcing and it should be
- 8:04the first step only because sourcing is
- 8:07developing your stakeholders developing
- 8:09your supply chain this is the basic
- 8:11difference when we are talking about
- 8:12sourcing and procurement sourcing is you
- 8:15are setting up your suppliers for long
- 8:18term right then comes once sourcing is
- 8:21done then you come to your procurement
- 8:24part purchasing part then you will
- 8:26repetitively you will keep on placing
- 8:28the uh you know purchase orders with the
- 8:31your uh sourced Partners right and in
- 8:33the end you will talk about the supply
- 8:36in the first stream how smoothly you can
- 8:39ensure that supply chain so these three
- 8:41steps we'll discuss for the first stream
- 8:44let us talk about the sourcing
- 8:47management so obviously we need to
- 8:50identify assess and enlist the suppliers
- 8:53this is first step of your sourcing so
- 8:57before going for that long-term
- 8:59strategic relationship with your you
- 9:01know sourcing partners are not only one
- 9:03day activity or one year or 10 years
- 9:06activity as long as you are in that
- 9:08market maybe you will try to continue
- 9:11with the same kind of sourcing partner
- 9:14because it is not uh efficient and
- 9:17effective as well when we are talking
- 9:19about when we are quickly changing the
- 9:21partners right because when you are
- 9:23doing this maybe today I'm your partner
- 9:26tomorrow if you are leaving me I will be
- 9:28partner with someone of your competitors
- 9:31right so then you have already shared
- 9:33your recipe with me so then in that way
- 9:36you can see how it can adversely affect
- 9:39your you know way of processing the
- 9:42things or whatever secret recipe I am
- 9:45having the access to right so that is
- 9:47one important thing and then obviously
- 9:50once it is done you have to ensure the
- 9:52cost efficient acquisition of the goods
- 9:54or services whatever you are doing so
- 9:56usually for sourcing we are doing the
- 9:58tendering procedures listed sources we
- 10:02are asking them to you know uh float
- 10:05their tenders and there they are
- 10:07highlighting all the terms and
- 10:09conditions the terms related to pricing
- 10:11terms related to delivery terms related
- 10:13to Quality and other things right so
- 10:16there they are mentioning so this is
- 10:18again important step when we are talking
- 10:20about tendering procedure in sourcing
- 10:23management right so if you have sourced
- 10:27you have prepared that list care y right
- 10:30after meticulously uh you have done the
- 10:32homework then it will provide you
- 10:35Competitive Edge as I told you this is
- 10:37your strategic movement this is your
- 10:40strategic movement anything strategic
- 10:42that means long-term effect on your
- 10:45competency will be there in the final
- 10:47market so in that way you have to ensure
- 10:50right so types of sourcing quickly will
- 10:53go through Outsourcing obviously we
- 10:55discussed when we talked about
- 10:57Outsourcing the logistics for first
- 10:59party second party third party fourth
- 11:01party fifth party sixth party Logistics
- 11:03we discussed right
- 11:05Outsourcing when we you know keep on
- 11:07doing those things we are adding some
- 11:09extra uh you know Services which being
- 11:13provided from those logistic Partners so
- 11:16in case of Outsourcing when we are
- 11:18thinking that okay we'll go for
- 11:19outsourcing for this particular
- 11:20operation let's say packaging is
- 11:22something I'm not very good with right
- 11:25so let us Outsource this packaging okay
- 11:27let us say on our this pen if we are
- 11:30manufacturing this marker screen marker
- 11:33pointer so you are printing your uh
- 11:36brand name on this pen right so printing
- 11:39I am not expert in that I'm
- 11:41manufacturing Electronics uh Goods but
- 11:44printing is something I never heard of I
- 11:46have never been there how things are
- 11:48done let us Outsource this right now if
- 11:51you are Outsourcing that means every
- 11:53time you will manufacture this pen you
- 11:55will ship this pen to printing agency
- 11:58whosoever is your partner and then again
- 12:00you know Transportation why don't we
- 12:02call them inhouse they will set up one
- 12:05facility in our production plant and
- 12:07then we'll do that is another kind of
- 12:09Outsourcing still it is Outsource but
- 12:12that company now has moved within our
- 12:14house right and they are doing that
- 12:16obviously for getting those facilities
- 12:18we'll charge them but this is one model
- 12:20of Outsourcing when we are talking about
- 12:22Outsourcing we we go either for uh
- 12:26backward integration or forward
- 12:27integration right backward integration
- 12:30let's say this is manufacturer we are
- 12:32here manufacturer backward integration
- 12:35that means now we will acquire our raw
- 12:38material suppliers right so that is
- 12:41backward integration let us start
- 12:43producing our own raw material we are
- 12:45tire manufacturer why we are taking
- 12:48steel wires from the steel manufacturer
- 12:51let us take the direct uh ore from the
- 12:54core and process that ore and we'll
- 12:57manufacture the steel wires as well this
- 12:59is another industry right so we start
- 13:01acquiring our suppliers not acquiring or
- 13:04you can start setting up your uh your
- 13:07own Supply units so this is backward
- 13:09integration when you are going for back
- 13:11supply chain forward integration like
- 13:15earlier what you were doing you were
- 13:16selling your product through local
- 13:17retailers or maybe big Bazar or maybe
- 13:20some other trading partner wholesaler
- 13:23Distributors are there now you are
- 13:24setting up your own supply chain like
- 13:27Dell is doing Del is is directly selling
- 13:30to the customer where customer is
- 13:32visiting Dell store room they are giving
- 13:35their specification D is designing as
- 13:37per that and then shipping uh giving you
- 13:40delivering you the final product right
- 13:42so that is forward integration anything
- 13:44you are doing with this forward supply
- 13:46chain that is forward integration
- 13:48insourcing is example which I talked
- 13:51about that uh in house let us Outsource
- 13:54to someone right but that was internal
- 13:57party here internally if within our
- 14:00manufacturing facility let's say we are
- 14:01manufacturing home appliances now
- 14:03plastic part is something let's say we
- 14:05have the molding facility as well where
- 14:08we were producing earlier the molding
- 14:09components let's say if we are Flips
- 14:12manufacturer we are having molding
- 14:14facility maybe other earlier we were not
- 14:17manufacturing our products under flips
- 14:19brand right now so earlier we were just
- 14:23in our molding plants we were supplying
- 14:25to uh hbls we were supplying to L&T we
- 14:28were supplying to
- 14:29all other players in the market all the
- 14:32plastic parts which are you know uh
- 14:34produced in our molding machines but now
- 14:37we realized we have molding capacity
- 14:39right let us start our production So
- 14:42within house you are Outsourcing your
- 14:44all the plastic related components
- 14:46production to the molding plant plant
- 14:48one is molding plant plant two is your
- 14:51where you are assembling the uh those
- 14:54products right your uh uh home
- 14:57appliances where maybe this this is not
- 14:59only one component you you are using for
- 15:01manufacturing that appliances maybe many
- 15:04other components coming from other
- 15:06suppliers but that one component your
- 15:08plastic components are coming with from
- 15:11within only near sourcing is when you
- 15:15want to implement just in time that can
- 15:17only happen whenever product is required
- 15:19you can ship that so many of the
- 15:21organizations they are setting they are
- 15:24asking their uh raw material supplier to
- 15:27set up their production houses near to
- 15:29their facility and they are ensuring
- 15:31that we will feed you large enough
- 15:34orders so that economies of scale can be
- 15:36utilized and you will not be in loss
- 15:38that you have because it is strategic
- 15:40relationship as long as both suppliers
- 15:42and manufacturers are in profit only
- 15:45this this complete supply chain can
- 15:47survive right it cannot happen that that
- 15:50suppliers are running under losses and
- 15:53manufacturer is still making loss that
- 15:55cannot survive for long run right so uh
- 15:58not only just in time sometime what is
- 16:00happening I have seen visited one two
- 16:02wheeler industry I think PVS what they
- 16:05are doing for you know if they are using
- 16:08lights and glass all that in their bike
- 16:12so you you can see the product is very
- 16:15fragile that component is very fragile
- 16:17and if you are transporting through you
- 16:19long distances maybe scratches may be
- 16:21there these kind of things can happen so
- 16:24what they are doing they are asking
- 16:25their glass manufacturer or the light
- 16:27manufacturer to set up their facility
- 16:29near to their uh production house so
- 16:32that that Justus in time can be ensured
- 16:34and the quality can be maintained of the
- 16:36product lowcost country sourcing this is
- 16:39usually happening if you see uh your u
- 16:43high cost countries are like you know
- 16:45European nations or us uh kind of thing
- 16:49so or if we talk about garment industry
- 16:52especially where you know most of the
- 16:54players even Walmart kind of players
- 16:56they are setting up their you know
- 16:58production facility in Bangladesh Bhutan
- 17:01or Nepal these kind of cheap locations
- 17:03right so in terms of how much you are
- 17:05spending for producing one unit that
- 17:07also China is also uh has become because
- 17:10of their policies that is not low cost
- 17:12as such right but their policies are
- 17:15that they have you know lower down the
- 17:18charges for entry for foreign players
- 17:20This Is How They are boosting up their
- 17:21economy so many different policy
- 17:24measures are there but yes low cost
- 17:26country if you are getting to produce
- 17:28that product
- 17:29you can you know uh save on the
- 17:32production cost Global sourcing like we
- 17:35discussed this whole Global is One
- 17:37Marketplace so you can have access to
- 17:40range to new range of skills and
- 17:43resources so in terms of uh if you are
- 17:47uh sourcing markets you can also Source
- 17:50right so not only Indian market you can
- 17:52go forign market and then foreign
- 17:54suppliers lighting solution China is
- 17:57best known for providing the the
- 17:58lighting solution even small single LED
- 18:02you can just imagine we are using in
- 18:03torch or we are using in automobile
- 18:06industry right any electronic comp
- 18:08electric electronic appliances we are
- 18:10using at home we are using at at least
- 18:13one that light emitting diode right
- 18:15where it is giving the indication
- 18:17whether it is on or off like that right
- 18:20so those small components are also
- 18:22coming from China so they are so good
- 18:25with that manufacturing you can leverage
- 18:27on that and cut the cost right and then
- 18:28quality also they are promising that now
- 18:31earlier they were known for quantity but
- 18:33now they are moving towards the quality
- 18:35as well right so Prime subcontracting
- 18:38here we are not sourcing everything some
- 18:41part sub assemblies we are uh
- 18:44Outsourcing very small example again
- 18:46let's say for uh uh for you are
- 18:50manufacturing washing machines so in
- 18:52washing machine you are using uh one
- 18:55obviously one board electrical board
- 18:58like circuit right where you are putting
- 19:00all the electronic components just to
- 19:02control the functionality of the washing
- 19:04machine right so many different
- 19:06electronic components you are putting on
- 19:07that board but you are been good with
- 19:09the manufacturing you never uh seen any
- 19:12soldering facility how we can go for
- 19:15that and even if you are doing that you
- 19:17can just imagine that board is printed
- 19:19circuit board where you are putting all
- 19:21the electronic components if anything
- 19:23goes missing whole machine will stop
- 19:25working so it is small PCV but is
- 19:28equally important it will not turn on so
- 19:30what you will do with that big machine
- 19:32if that small PCV is not turning on
- 19:35right so let us Outsource this to some
- 19:37other company who is specialist in this
- 19:40field and we can enjoy their services
- 19:43captive services operation again example
- 19:46of you can you know partially you can
- 19:48acquire or wholly you can sometimes go
- 19:52so in that way you have more control
- 19:54over the quality as well and security
- 19:56issues but yes uh that's
- 19:59uh economies of scale you need to keep
- 20:00in mind whether you will be able to
- 20:02generate that much demand or not
- 20:04Professional Services like uh if you are
- 20:07coming to me I'm lawyer those Services
- 20:09you are Outsourcing you cannot do that
- 20:12of your own but some some people they
- 20:14they seek for special permission where
- 20:16they can you know uh fight their own
- 20:19cases uh that that provision is also
- 20:21there with some uh limitations right
- 20:24manufacturing like the example I quoted
- 20:26phlips is not having any Manufacturing
- 20:28unit but they have the control over
- 20:30those co-manufacturer who are producing
- 20:33product for the Philips right most of
- 20:35the home appliances are being produced
- 20:37by their co-manufacturers so vertical
- 20:40integration forward and backward
- 20:42integration I talked about when you
- 20:44acquire your suppliers it is your
- 20:46vertical integration under backward
- 20:49integration when you acquire your
- 20:51forward supply chain distribution supply
- 20:53chain any player you Transportation
- 20:55agency you acquire or you start your own
- 20:57transportation center right so then it
- 21:00is forward integration vertical
- 21:02integration is what this and horizontal
- 21:05integration is when you start acquiring
- 21:07phlips will start acquiring havs right
- 21:09in the same industry you acquire your
- 21:11competitor that is horizontal
- 21:13integration but in supply chain context
- 21:15vertical integration is our concern few
- 21:18or more suppliers obviously uh if you
- 21:22are having only single supplier what if
- 21:25something goes wrong with that supplier
- 21:27and on the other hand and you have two
- 21:29three suppliers or maybe n number of
- 21:32suppliers many supplier that means that
- 21:35quantity will be shared among all those
- 21:37suppliers so that means you cannot feed
- 21:40large
- 21:41orders large order you can feed when you
- 21:44have only one supplier but the problem
- 21:46with one supplier if anything goes wrong
- 21:49at his facility any disaster happens or
- 21:52any maintenance related things happen so
- 21:55then that means your whole production
- 21:57line will stop so so I'm not never uh
- 22:01supporting single supplier and never
- 22:03supporting too many suppliers I I'm just
- 22:05supporting maybe two or three suppliers
- 22:08and then we can feed the large order as
- 22:11well we can negotiate on that quantity
- 22:13cost also quality also if something goes
- 22:16wrong with one supplier we can shift to
- 22:19other suppliers and that supplier can
- 22:21take some time to rectify the errors and
- 22:24again come up with the strong promises
- 22:26right this is how we can build up the
- 22:28strong relationship uh with all the
- 22:31stakeholders so few suppliers should be
- 22:34there joint venture maruti Suzuki you
- 22:37best example where you can uh leverage
- 22:41the supply chain of uh maruti here in
- 22:44India and Suzuki you can leverage the
- 22:47technology of that Virtual Enterprise
- 22:49sometime online you know companies are
- 22:51there which are doing the survey and all
- 22:53those things mcki if you are going for
- 22:55hospitals industry they are doing survey
- 22:57and then you can find find out their you
- 23:00know their information their findings
- 23:02their reports can be very very helpful
- 23:03when you are designing your insurance
- 23:06product related to healthcare industry
- 23:07you are designing Healthcare Services
- 23:09you are designing Healthcare stations
- 23:11right facilities so those kind of things
- 23:13also you can leverage on that coming to
- 23:16second part under this now sourcing is
- 23:19done now we'll start you know purchase
- 23:23uh purchasing the quantity from your uh
- 23:25soured partner so this will help you to
- 23:29you know ensure ontime process and
- 23:32continuous monitoring will be ensured
- 23:34right so uh after doing all the homework
- 23:39we decided these many uh two or three
- 23:43suppliers will be there then we need to
- 23:45go for the cost also we decided and how
- 23:48we can be more productive with our
- 23:50stakeholder it's not only if your uh
- 23:53sourcing partners are productive in that
- 23:56way you will get the supplies with
- 23:57minimum cost C right so procurement
- 24:00process can be defined as a process
- 24:02responsible for overseeing and
- 24:04administering all the activities
- 24:06involved in acquiring the material
- 24:08product goods and services which are
- 24:10required to ensure the smooth operation
- 24:13efficient operation effective operation
- 24:16within your production facility right so
- 24:19repetitively you will procure so what
- 24:22are the
- 24:23fundamentals while you are going for
- 24:25procurement you need to understand first
- 24:27your purchasing portfolio purchasing
- 24:30portfolio will help you to understand
- 24:32what are the products you are buying
- 24:34what are the quantity you are buying in
- 24:36what orders you are how frequently you
- 24:38are buying number of lots you are buying
- 24:40right size of the lot what you are
- 24:42buying quality what is expected so if
- 24:45you know all these things you can be in
- 24:47better position to negotiate with your C
- 24:50uh raw material supplier right if you
- 24:52feeding them large order like what what
- 24:54Walmart is doing Walmart is saving a
- 24:58huge use with their raw material
- 25:00suppliers because they are having
- 25:01limited suppliers and they are feeding
- 25:04continuously large orders when you are
- 25:07feeding large orders those economies of
- 25:09scale you can reduce you can negotiate
- 25:11the price as well that is one thing you
- 25:13need to know organize your purchases
- 25:16then once you know the pro portfolio of
- 25:19purchasing right then you can organize
- 25:22in that way that I will require let's
- 25:24say uh for one month I need three
- 25:27deliveries load one lot two lot three I
- 25:29want this much size lot one this much
- 25:31size lot two and three right you need to
- 25:35organize your purchase when the uh
- 25:37purchase order will be initiated right
- 25:39when you will generate the PO when
- 25:41purchase order will reach to your uh uh
- 25:44your sourcing partner how they will
- 25:47process everything that information what
- 25:49is required quantity quality and then
- 25:52variation in the component what is
- 25:53required so that also you can organize
- 25:56then con you need to control the
- 25:58inventory in terms of either you are
- 26:00talking about finished goods or raw
- 26:02material or semi-finished Goods that you
- 26:05you need to control through procurement
- 26:07process only if you are keeping too much
- 26:09in your semi-finished inventory that
- 26:11means you need to push that inventory
- 26:13first in the market right otherwise you
- 26:16never know anything will come like what
- 26:18happened with bs3 petrol engine and bs4
- 26:21diesel engines when in Delhi completely
- 26:24phased out so then there was a rush
- 26:26among two wheelers four wheelers to sell
- 26:29those products with you know 50% lesser
- 26:32price right so that you need to keep in
- 26:34mind procurement function must be
- 26:36included in product development is a
- 26:38very very important part whenever you
- 26:40are coming with your R&D team and you
- 26:43are developing new product if you are
- 26:45including your procurement team into
- 26:47that what extra benefit you will get see
- 26:51procurement team is having better idea
- 26:53which material will be
- 26:55beneficial they will they can analyze
- 26:57the performance the quality the quantity
- 27:00the you know price as well right so then
- 27:02they have the access how many raw
- 27:04material suppliers of that particular
- 27:06material are there available easily
- 27:08available can we do the just in time
- 27:10with them can we ensure the quality with
- 27:12existing raw material suppliers so it
- 27:14will include in R&D so then then it will
- 27:18be very beneficial when we are going for
- 27:20commercializing the same uh you know the
- 27:23product right risk management and
- 27:25introduction of performance indicators
- 27:28so during smooth procurement is
- 27:31happening you can avoid the risk of
- 27:33going stock out in your inventory so in
- 27:37your store always you are maintaining
- 27:38the inventory and from the store always
- 27:42the smooth supply of your raw material
- 27:45is going to the production lines right
- 27:48so that you can ensure through your uh
- 27:51when whenever you have that minimum safe
- 27:53inventory with you identify your
- 27:55customer needs obviously through R&D
- 27:58only then you will uh design your
- 28:01product while your uh your customers are
- 28:04giving the inputs what are the
- 28:06requirements look outside your Market
- 28:09sometimes for some solutions you need to
- 28:13give you know out out of the box
- 28:15thinking so then you need to come up
- 28:18with some new Solutions right so
- 28:20whatever your competitors have been
- 28:21doing even the best players in the
- 28:23market have been doing if that is not
- 28:25sufficient enough you need to think out
- 28:27of the box right then manage and
- 28:29prioritize relationship with your
- 28:31vendors your stakeholders your suppliers
- 28:34only then long-term relationship are
- 28:36possible Right ensure collect spend data
- 28:39now this is
- 28:41important you need this is we have so
- 28:43many different softwares to you know to
- 28:45do your spending analysis right how much
- 28:48you are spending be in your you know now
- 28:50in Mobile also when uh apps are coming
- 28:54those apps are fetching data from your
- 28:57uh PayPal PTM or UPI whatever you are
- 29:00using and then giving you in the end of
- 29:03the month giving you the complete
- 29:04information this much you are spending
- 29:07in uh purchasing the grocery item this
- 29:10much you are spending in uh your you
- 29:13know traveling around this much you are
- 29:15spending for uh getting the fuel this
- 29:17much you are spending like all uh on
- 29:21your clothing items this much you are
- 29:23spending for your household it so
- 29:24whatever you can do the spending
- 29:26analysis and then you can say okay I'm
- 29:28getting the maximum material from this
- 29:30in Industry how this is this spend data
- 29:33analysis is helpful if repetitively I'm
- 29:37giving feeding many large orders to one
- 29:39player why don't I enjoy that you know
- 29:42negotiation power with that player right
- 29:44so that analysis we can do this is one
- 29:46point there are so many other things you
- 29:48can do with this spending data right so
- 29:50you can uh improve your efficiency and
- 29:54Effectiveness and then if you have that
- 29:56data you can be at that negotiation
- 29:59position what are the steps quickly will
- 30:01go for procurement first you will
- 30:03identify the source and plan how much
- 30:05inventry you need to purchase then you
- 30:08will choose and select the suppliers out
- 30:10of supplier one supplier two supplier
- 30:12three I'll pick supplier two this time
- 30:14or maybe 60% order I'll give to him
- 30:17maybe then uh rest uh 20% I'll give to
- 30:21him rest maybe 20% I'll give to him
- 30:24right why 60% because this supplier is
- 30:27very responsible price are very less
- 30:29quality is always high or we are doing
- 30:33that vendor rating we are rating all our
- 30:36vendor we'll see one session on vendor
- 30:37rating if we'll get time so how vendor
- 30:41rating is helping us to find out which
- 30:44uh order should be given to which
- 30:46supplier right and then negotiating the
- 30:48contract here we are discussing the
- 30:51quantity terms we want the quality terms
- 30:55we want the payment how payment will be
- 30:58done usually we are saying after
- 30:59receiving the material within 90 days
- 31:01you'll get the payment these 90 days are
- 31:03required to you know check in inspect
- 31:06the incoming quality right and then uh
- 31:09then then invoice will be generated will
- 31:12be passed through the accounting section
- 31:14will be passed through then uh and
- 31:16finally payment will be done right this
- 31:17is how it is being done or if any
- 31:21conflict is there how this will be done
- 31:24how it will be negotiated then actually
- 31:26we will place the first order once the
- 31:28first order copy is generated there you
- 31:30are documenting every term and condition
- 31:33in that first order this is another step
- 31:36accelerating the order let's say now
- 31:39like the example I quoted that two
- 31:40wheeler industry bs3 engine petrol
- 31:43engine were phased out they started
- 31:45selling on 50% lesser cost but let's say
- 31:49still our raw material suppliers are
- 31:50maintaining some inventory for related
- 31:52to bs3 engines so that means they should
- 31:55be able to esate that inventory quickly
- 31:58to the production line otherwise that
- 32:00will be cost to us if they are supplying
- 32:03after 10 days it will be difficult us to
- 32:06again assemble that and push in the
- 32:08market again we have to lower down the
- 32:10price right or this is one scenario
- 32:12another scenario if suddenly one
- 32:14supplier something goes wrong second
- 32:17supplier should be able to accelerate
- 32:18the order should be immediately you know
- 32:21providing the services if our
- 32:23forecasting failed sometimes and we are
- 32:26getting large order we should not stop
- 32:28saying that we cannot feed after that we
- 32:31should be able to do that right so that
- 32:33is one thing then reip and inspection of
- 32:35the purchase once it is done we will
- 32:38inspect that material and then if it is
- 32:40okay we will store that and then move to
- 32:43the production line after that only
- 32:45invoice and payment will be done and we
- 32:48are doing this on time so that the
- 32:50relationships can be managed so this is
- 32:53one complete cycle how the procurement
- 32:55is happening so you can just just see
- 32:58one example of procurement management
- 33:00where Construction Company what are the
- 33:02supplies required right so you need
- 33:05cement steel and uh all those other
- 33:09things you you require to you know uh
- 33:12electrical wiring electrical equipments
- 33:15all those things are required when you
- 33:16are coming up with you know no new new
- 33:18project right so you need to ensure the
- 33:21smooth Supply only then the uh that
- 33:24construction can be finished on time
- 33:26right it's not only the tender will get
- 33:30the person who is giving the minimum
- 33:32quat no so the delivery of the project
- 33:35is also very important and in in that
- 33:37Way project delay is major major concern
- 33:40the project management Industries are
- 33:42facing these days
- 33:44right so if we'll talk about procurement
- 33:47versus sourcing I just talked about this
- 33:49is the first stage where we are
- 33:51developing the you know supply chain and
- 33:54procurement involves procuring goods and
- 33:56services it here focus is what are the
- 33:59supplies here focus is who is making
- 34:02those supplies right that is also
- 34:03equally important part right and then
- 34:06leverages Supply chains to ensure a
- 34:08stady flow of inputs and supply to the
- 34:11organization sourcing is concerned with
- 34:13building and managing the supply chain
- 34:15which I talked about procurement is
- 34:17primarily concerned with already running
- 34:19Supply chains are there procurement is
- 34:22just ensuring the smooth Supply but
- 34:24sourcing is building up new Supply
- 34:26chains right so now after ensuring your
- 34:30sourcing is done now purchasing you are
- 34:33repetitively you know placing the order
- 34:35with your uh sourced Partners now the
- 34:38third step under the final step under
- 34:40your first team is Supply management
- 34:42which the name suggest that you need to
- 34:44ensure the smooth continuous supply of
- 34:47the goods products whatever you are uh
- 34:51you know uh taking from your suppliers
- 34:53now see to ensure the smooth Supply you
- 34:56should have proper integration with your
- 34:58suppliers integration means
- 35:00technologically you should be integrated
- 35:02so that quick information can be shared
- 35:05if any higher demand is coming from the
- 35:07market that should be immediately shared
- 35:10if there you are feeling that there will
- 35:12be sudden drop in the demand then the
- 35:15supplier should not produce excess
- 35:17inventory raw material that also should
- 35:20be communicated so this is one Element
- 35:23important element to ensure the smooth
- 35:25Supply because smooth Supply is
- 35:27targeting our uh this concept of we
- 35:31should not stock
- 35:33out and we should not have excess
- 35:39stock this will be ensured through your
- 35:42proper Supply management right and it is
- 35:44very much function of your preproduction
- 35:46Logistics and inventory management where
- 35:49we are targeting our resources whatever
- 35:52resources we are using should be
- 35:54supplied smoothly to through our your
- 35:58first supply chain first stream right
- 36:01what is the role of Supply management
- 36:03identifying sourcing negotiating and
- 36:05procuring a service or good that is
- 36:08essential to a company's ongoing
- 36:10operations right so whenever it is
- 36:12required you need to identify out of the
- 36:15listed sources you will pick the best
- 36:18supplier always not you will pick the
- 36:20best supplier because you need to retain
- 36:22the suppliers which may be performing
- 36:25bad on some parameters of price quality
- 36:28delivery they are struggling to ensure
- 36:30the smooth delivery but then again I
- 36:33told you those few suppliers you need to
- 36:35maintain two three four suppliers then
- 36:37few word is very subjective Maybe for
- 36:41One industry few is maybe if you are as
- 36:44automobile industry you are Outsourcing
- 36:46tires from mrf right so then only one
- 36:50you know you you will use in all the
- 36:53models you will use only one in one
- 36:55product category if you are using B on
- 36:57Tire maybe for other product then you
- 37:00will use that but then if you are
- 37:02talking about some other thing right if
- 37:05you are using fuel pump or fuel filter
- 37:08then it can come from two three
- 37:10suppliers right so that b you are buying
- 37:13from b or some other supplier right so
- 37:15that means this fuel supplier again
- 37:17subjective related to your uh nature of
- 37:20the industry we are dealing with then
- 37:22formulating a strategy for developing
- 37:24and maintaining a relationship another
- 37:26very important with the supply Supply
- 37:27management because your supplies will be
- 37:32insured and your suppliers are only
- 37:34accountable for ensuring those smooth
- 37:36supplies right utilizing technology and
- 37:38procedures that will help you to
- 37:40integrate better with your
- 37:42suppliers and then we need to consider
- 37:45the theories of supply and demand so
- 37:47that we can you know fix that price and
- 37:49we can ensure that smooth Supply is
- 37:53happening and demand is also generated
- 37:56in that way so that we will ensure
- 37:58through your uh supply chain process
- 38:01right so these all are the uh three
- 38:04major components when we talk about the
- 38:06first stream right in the second uh next
- 38:09session we'll start discussion about
- 38:11your second stream supply chain so these
- 38:14are the references for this uh complete
- 38:17uh topic of uh uh supply chain three
- 38:20streams right so these are the
- 38:22references you can refer uh that's all
- 38:24for this session thank you very much
