Cold Chain Data Analytics for Yield Improvement

1. DIGITAL SUPPLY CHAIN

2. WHAT IS DSC?
The digital supply chain can be defined as the development of
information systems and the adoption of innovative technologies
strengthening the integration and the agility of the supply chain and thus
improving customer service and sustainable performance of the
organization

3. WHY DO WE NEED DSC?
• Use of excessive internet by customer
• Change consumer buying behavior
• Change in Demand Patterns
• Huge pressure on supply chain management
• To increase profit & to reduce cost
• Time-saving
• To remain competitive in the global marketplace

4. EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES THAT ENABLE DSC
TRANSFORMATION
Technologies
for DSC

Analysis
IoT
Social
Media
Robotics
3D
Printing
Cloud
Computing
Collecting, organizing, and analyzing a
large amount of data
Exchanging data with other devices and
systems over the internet
Real-time information
Auto plant and material handling
Produce very complex shapes or
geometries
Manipulating, configuring, and
accessing the hardware and software
resources remotely

5. • Strategic partnership that was established between AMUL and IBM in 2009
• AMUL invested 80 crores in transforming the information technology landscape
of the company
• IBM would develop a full-fledged digital system and it would track every small
detail of the operation
that is being carried out in the supply chain of AMUL
• The key objective was to ensure flexibility and transparency across the supply
chain
• IBM developed a private cloud with a data center and a disaster recovery system
that has automatic
back-ups in place
• Whenever there are issues the disaster recovery kicks in, ensuring zero

6. • It could tell you how many plants are working at full capacity, how many trucks
are engaged, and in which areas
• Most importantly, it also tells you when and how many trucks or plants are
working at idle capacity so that they can divert the workload to them to make
optimum utilization of every element of the supply chain
• In the past decade Amul’s digital transformation has helped it gain a 10x growth in
business
• By improving data accuracy and integration with the distributor management
system, processes are seamless now

7. When the dairy company saw a massive fall in demand, they quickly pulled down the milk
procurement decreased their logistics, and slowed down their production up to a large extent
As an outcome of this, many farmers were left in a helpless state.
Many workers such as truck drivers and factory workers lost their
daily bread because less milk meant less operation of factories
which means less transportation of milk
Lockdown Effect on supply chain
The Lockdown impact was so heavy that it cost the milk producers of India more than 112.3
crores of rupees every day

8. • This end-to-end digitalization gave them so much clarity about their
operations that AMUL was even able to provide incentives to the
ground staff
• During the lockdown, Amul was able to divert idle resources overnight and ensure a
steady supply of dairy products
• Due to the IBM system, the AMUL team was able to accurately oversee the entire
operation of the supply chain
• This system turned out to be a game-changer for AMUL during the lockdown
• Coupled with mobile applications and automation that efficiently manage
applications, Amul not only has better operations but also gained much-needed
insight into the logistics side of things

9. Challenges in DSC
• Gathering all the information from many disparate sources and ensuring
the accuracy of that information
• Developing a software architecture and platform that can use the
information to manage and execute the supply chain
• Many organizations have no mechanisms in place that auto-capture and
normalize entitlements
• Disjointed Systems & Poor User Experience
• Outdated Catalogues & Poor Visibility

10. • Greater transparency
• More decentralized warehousing
• Better understanding of Customer’s Requirements
• Higher sales, higher profit margin
• Improved supply chain flexibility
• Reduce the risks and costs involved in the supply chain
• Availability of more alternatives
• Maintenance of competitive advantage
BENEFITS
OF DSC

11. Conclusion
• Revolutionary changes will happen due to the digitalization of supply chain
management
• Applying new technologies such as big data, cloud computing and the internet of
things can help overcome these challenges. Digitalization will help in the
improvement of supply chain visibility
• Use of innovative digital technologies will allow the Modularization, simplification
and standardization of products and processes
• Companies should realize the importance of new business models which generate
additional value to the product range and achieve new demand channels for
increasingly digital customers
