3. Logistics
ā¢Planning, execution and control of the movement/placement
of goods and/or people, and related supporting activities,
within a system designed to achieve specific objectives
Logistics Management
āPart of supply chain management plans, implements, controls
the {efficient, effective forward & reverse flow}, storage of
goods, services and related information {between the āpoint of
originā and the āpoint of consumptionā to meet customersā
requirementsā}.
Logistics and Logistics Management
4. ā¢ Smoother flow of company processes &
procedures to increase performance
ā¢ Brings profits to company
ā¢ Increases efficiency & consumer
relationships

Supply Chain
ā¢Activities associated with flow and transformation
of goods from raw materials stage, through end
users, also associated information flows.
Supply Chain Management
ā¢Integration of supply chain activities through
improved supply chain relationship to achieve and
attain sustainable competitive advantage.
9. VGD@IIPM
Materials Management
ā¢Focuses on the co-ordination of goods, services,
materials & information from suppliers through
operation, and it is a subset of total supply chain
management.
Total Supply Chain Management
ā¢Primary objective: proactively manage the two way
movement & co-ordination of goods, services and
information from raw materials to end user.
20. VGD@IIPM
Types of Supply Chain and Channel
Relationships
Basic Supply Chain
ā¢Immediate supplier and an immediate customer directly
linked by one or more of the upstream and downstream
flows of products, services, finances and information.
Extended Supply Chain
ā¢Suppliers of the immediate supplier and customers of
the immediate customer, all linked by one or more of
the upstream and downstream flows of products,
services, finances and information.
21. VGD@IIPM
Types of Supply Chain and Channel
Relationships
Ultimate Supply Chain
ā¢Companies involved in all the upstream and downstream
flows of products, services, finances and information from
the initial supplier to the ultimate customer
Partnerships or Alliances
ā¢Dyadic Relationships or Co-operative Relationships
between two companies that are distinct from supply
chains, because this type of relationship does not involve
any one company in simultaneous upstream and
downstream relationships.

37. Reverse Supply Chain Management
ā¢ Series of activities required to retrieve a
used product from a customer and dispose
of it properly or reuse after processing .
ā¢ Connects end users with manufacturer in
reverse direction.
38. Reverse Supply Chain Management (RSCM)
[Forward Supply Vs. Backward Supply]
ā¢ Not limited to delivering products to the end
consumers, but responsible to return by the
consumers back to the company.
Example,
ā¢ RSCM - soft drink bottles pick up & delivery system and
reused repeatedly
ā¢ Return merchandise - goods worth over $100 billion are
returned to US retailers / annum due to damage, obsolete
equipment, restock, etc.
ā¢ Retailers / e-tailers are facing challenges as return
policies are becoming more lenient due to product
freshness
ā¢ EU legislation - recycle one used tire for every new tire
through RSCM
ā¢ Best RSCM translates into higher customer service and
revenue opportunity
39. Reverse Supply Chain Management (RSCM)
(contdā¦)
[Forward Supply Vs. Backward Supply]
ā¢ Nike - Encourages consumers to bring their
used shoes to make basketball court / running
tracks
ā¢ Understand where the RSCM will contribute
profits
ā¢ Gate keeping in RSCM - decide which product
to be allowed in RSCM for profitability and
uncertainty
40. Reverse Supply Chain Management (RSCM) (contdā¦)
[Forward Supply Vs. Backward Supply]
ā¢ RSCM technology:-
ā¢ Use real-time inventory tracking system (bar codes /
sensors) for returned goods processing as unique
system
ā¢ Use data warehouse with extranet and intranet
technology for successful RSCM
ā¢ RSCM Barriers
ā¢ Internal - preparedness of company in terms of
processes, system & infrastructure
ā¢ External - amenability of the customer
42. Drivers of RSC Initiatives
ā¢ Environmental legislations
ā¢ Economic value from returns
ā¢ Green Image
ā¢ Material Resource constraints like
lead and other precious resources
43. Closed-Loop Supply Chain
ā¢ Taking back products from customers and recovering
added value by reusing the entire product, and/or
some of its modules, components and parts.
ā¢ Design, control and operation of a system to
maximize value creation of entire life-cycle of a
product
48. Global Supply Chain Management

ļOzone
ļChlorofluorocarbons
Natural gases, but extra greenhouses gases made by
humans polluting
72. How to Remove CO2?
ā¢ Carbon sink: Reservoir of carbon accumulates &
stores carbon for an indefinite period.
ā¢ Main sinks are:
ā Absorption of carbon dioxide by the oceans
ā Photosynthesis by plants and algae to turn the carbon
into plant matter
ā Injection of CO2 emissions deep into geological
subsurface
73. ā¢ Supported in the UK (both in public & private sectors)
ā¢ āBuild the carbon footprint of different products by analyzing
the carbon emissions generated by energy use across the
supply chainā (Carbon Trust, 2006)
ā¢ Measuring carbon footprint product supply chain, minimize
footprint, by reducing carbon emissions required to deliver a
product to the end consumer
Guidelines for C-FP
75. ā¢ Acid rain caused by the emission of sulphur dioxide &
nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere
ā¢ Interferes with growth of flora & fauna and with
water-life.
Regional Effects of Atmosphere Pollution
76. ā¢ Adoption of low & ultra-low-sulphur diesel in the trucking sector,
by rail freight companies, land-based freight transport is
responsible for a very small proportion of acid rain
ā¢ High sulphur content of the bunker fuels used in shipping
causes serious environmental problem, particularly around
ports.
[International Maritime Organization (IMO) has implemented new regulations under
Annex 6 of its MARPOL conventions to radically reduce Sox emissions (IMO,
2008)]
Regional Effects of Atmosphere Pollution
77. ā¢ Ozone (O3) formed when nitrogen oxides and VOCs
react with sunlight .
ā¢ Exposures to high levels of ground level ozone can
lead to respiratory problems and nausea.
ā¢ Children with asthmatics and the elderly may be
more susceptible or vulnerable to the effects

80. How to reduce CFP?
ļTurn things off when not in use (lights, TV,
DVD player, Wi Fi, computers etc.)
ļTurn down heating slightly (1 to 2 degrees
C, 1 degree help to reduce heating about
8%)
ļTurn down water heating setting (2 degrees
Contdā¦..
81. ļ Check central heating timer setting - no point
heating house after left for school/office
ļ Fill dish washer and washing machine with full
load - save water, electricity, and washing
powder
ļ Fill kettle with as much water as needed
ļ Do weekly shopping in a single trip
ļ Hang out the washing to dry than tumble drying it

158. Quick facts about
ā¢McDonald's was started by two brothers, Richard
and Maurice McDonald in California, US in the year 1937.
ā¢Ray Kroc, distributor for milkshake machines,
expressed interest in the business, and he finalized a deal for
franchising with the McDonald brothers in 1954.
ā¢In 1961, he bought out the McDonald brothers'
share for $2.7 million and changed the name of
the company to McDonald's Corporation.
In 1965, McDonald's went publicā¦

175. LESSONS:
ā¢Look before you leap.
(Mc Donalds did an extensive research before venturing into this
nation for more than 4 years and put in 450 crores plus during those
times, to develop its supply chain)
ā¢In Rome , do as Romans do!
Mc Donalds customized its products to Indian taste-buds, also to connect
to the public, avoided pork and beef products. In addition the processing
lines for vegetable and non-vegetable products are kept separate.
ā¢Principle of mutual need: If one can assure oneās
vendor that both are interdependent on each other,
the trust must carry the relationship. In other words-āYou must allow
market forces and not binding agreements to determine just who the
constituents of your supply chain will beā.
203. The steps involved
ā¢ Step 1: Designing the supply chain
ā Determine the supply chain network
ā Identify the levels of service required
204. Step 2 - Optimizing the supply chain
ā¢ Determine pathways from suppliers to the end
customer
ā Customer markets to Distribution centers
ā Distribution centers to production plants
ā Raw material sources to production plants
ā Identify constraints at vendors, plants and distribution centers
ā Get the big picture
ā Plan the procurement, production and distribution of product
groups rather than individual products in large time periods-
205. Step 3- Material flow planning
ā¢ Determine the exact flow and timing of
materials
ā¢ Arrive at decisions by working back
from the projected demand through the
supply chain to the raw material
resources
ā¢ Techniques
ā¢ ERP
206. Step 4 - Transaction processing and
short term scheduling
ā¢ Customer orders arrive at random
ā¢ Day to day accounting system tracks and
schedules every order to meet customer
demand
ā¢ Order entry, order fulfillment and physical
replenishment

Role of Logistics in SCM
ā The success of supply chain management rests with logistics.
ā Five Key Issues of Logistics Effectiveness which are core to
Supply Chain Management:
ā¢ Movement of Product
ā¢ Movement of Information
ā¢ Time / Service
ā¢ Cost
ā¢ Integration, both internal and external, both organizations and
systems
ā Supply chain management requires a logistics model based on
quick order to delivery response. A model which focuses from
vendors' doors through to delivery to customers' doors.
ā The model must meet the customers' demanding and specific
requirements. It requires organizational flexibility and
responsiveness, internal and external teamwork and demands the
use of processes and technology.
209. Drivers that Affect Logistics and SCM
ā¢ Global Commerce
ā¢ Security within Supply Chains
ā¢ Increasing Energy Costs
ā¢ Sustainable development practices
ā¢ Technology and innovation
ā¢Current and future trends
ā¢Competitive position in relation to leading firms within their
own sector
ā¢Steps that can be taken to become more competitive.
Notes: Key message here is that logistics costs are a significant fraction of the total value of a product. The problem here is that this a purely cost based view of the supply chain and drives a firm to simply reducing logistics costs. This is an incomplete picture.
