E-SUPPLIER MANAGEMENT PRACTICES ON SUPPLY CHAIN PERFORMANCE OF SUGAR PROCESSI...ijmvsc
The purpose of this study was to establish the influence of electronic supplier management practices on
supply chain performance of sugar processing firms. The target population is 7,584 employees of sugar
processing firms in Kenya and Yamane Taro’s formula was applied to come up with a sample size of 379
respondents. Data was gathered by a questionnaire, interviews and observation. Correlation was used to
determine the relationship between E-supplier management practices and Supply chain performance while
regression analysis tested the hypothesis. The study established that E-supplier management practices
enhances supply chain performance. Two kinds of supply chain are proposed; Managerial and demand.
Managerial supply chain where as a result of electronic supplier management practice, flow of goods and
services from the suppliers are properly managed through information sharing between the buyer-seller
thus improved deliveries. Demand supply chain where as a result of electronic supplier management
practice, buyers and suppliers tend to develop a single shared forecast of demand and a plan of supply in
the sense that buyers issue order for only needed materials from the suppliers and that suppliers fulfills the
orders as requested by the buyers. To ensure that the proposed supply chain under e-supplier management,
it is recommended that Sugar processing firms’ management should ensure working Websites, working
internal and external mail and also provide their suppliers with access credentials to company electronic
procurement portal to increase buyer and supplier access to information to enhance E-supplier
management practices.
Effect of Strategic Partner Practice on Supply Chain Performance in Tea Firms...journal ijrtem
Abstract: Strategic partner relationship is a critical issue for any business, especially in supply chain activities. Therefore, it is expected that firms that deliver e-procurement system in the supply chain are likely to strengthen their partner relationship. The purpose of this study was to establish the influence of strategic partnership management practice on supply chain performance in tea firms in Kenya. The study was guided mainly by Resource Based Theory. Explanatory research design was adopted. The target population was 4200 respondents from 12 tea firms. Purposive and proportional sampling was used to select a sample size of 365 respondents comprising of staff, top management and suppliers. Questionnaires and structured interviews were used to collect primary data. Pearson product moment correlation coefficient and linear regressions were used to test strength of the relationship between variables. The strategic partnership practice positively influences the supply chain performance among the tea firms[r=.535, n=231, p<.05]. The regression model indicated that strategic partnership practice account for 28.7% variation on supply chain performance. Hence tea firms enhanced strategic partnership practice purposely to improve supply chain performance by widening supplier relationships among the stakeholders. Tea firms should therefore embrace sound partnership practices to enhance firms’ supply chain performance which in turn lead to profit maximization.

Relationship management in downstream supply chain a predictor of performance...ijmvsc
In this article, we examine the extent at which relationship management in downstream supply chain
predicts performance. Specifically, the paper assesses the extent at which collaborative and transactional
customer management predicts performance of selected pharmaceutical companies in Kampala. The
researchers employed case studies and cross-sectional research designs, which used a researcher’s made
questionnaire, for data collection. Data was analyzed using means and regressions, which were computed
using the statistical package for social scientist (SPSS). Findings revealed a high extent of relationship
management in downstream supply chain at an average mean of 4.23, as well as, high levels of
pharmaceutical performance at an average mean of 4.29. When these results were regressed, it was
indicated that, relationship management in supply chain highly predicts pharmaceutical performance in
Kampala (R2 value 74% and Sig. 0.014). The researchers therefore recommends managers, policy makers
and practitioners to give considerable attention in managing relationships within the downstream supply
chain, and in particular, ensure appropriate collaborations with customers. In this way, organizations
will retain their customers, increase sales levels and market shares, which will consequently improve
organizational performance.

A Strategic Approach to CMO Serialization ComplianceCognizant
To avoid supply chain disruptions due to regulatory compliance issues, pharmaceuticals companies need to coordinate with all their contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs) on an effective serialization strategy.
The opportunities for the Indian pharmaceutical industry are immense but increasing competition, increasing regulatory pressures and stringent price control means that companies need to constantly improve their costs and service levels. Supply chain efficiencies will play a crucial role going forward and will become the key differentiator for companies. Companies will therefore need to adopt an approach that encompasses strategic, tactical and operational interventions to remain competitive and create value for their customers

highly fragmented Indian specialty chemicals industry currently has revenues of USD 30 Bn and is expected to grow ~14% per annum over the next decade. It is observed that companies who have invested in product development have grown rapidly and have also expanded globally. Hence, these companies become attractive for large global players and equity investors. Recent M&A transactions in the speciality chemicals space show that most speciality chemical companies were able to attract valuations in excess of 10X EBITDA multiples. The pace of deal making activity is expected to continue with attractive valuations as India is the preferred investment destination in Asia
Feedstock availability, difficult access to latest technology and unfavourable duty structures have led to muted investments resulting in a plethora of chemicals being imported in India across the value chain. The net imports have risen from USD 2.6 bn in FY08 to USD 13.8 bn in FY15. Imports of several chemicals and polymers today are equivalent to a global scale plant output. With chemical demand shifting towards Asia, and China reassessing its chemical industry play, it could offer opportunities for chemical companies to invest selectively in India. To top it, government’s enhanced focus on `Make in India` and several states making chemicals as one of the preferred industries will facilitate realizing such opportunities. To make the most of the USD 12 bn opportunity in petrochemical intermediates, we believe companies need to reassess their business model & manufacturing footprint.

The Indian plastic industry is making significant contribution to the economic development and growth of various key sectors in the country which includes Automotive, Construction, Electronics, Healthcare, Textiles, and FMCG. The developments in the plastic machinery sector are coupled with developments in the petrochemical sector, both of which support the plastic processing sector. This has facilitated plastic processors to build capacities for the service of both the domestic market and the markets oversea.
The Government of India is taking every possible initiative to boost the infrastructure sector with investments of INR 25 lakh crore over the next 3 years in roads, railways and shipping infrastructure. Investments in water and sanitation management, irrigation, building & construction, power, transport and retail have been encouraged. Plastics play an important role in these sectors through various products like pipes, wires & cables, water proofing membranes, wood PVC composites and other sectors. Consequently, higher investments in these sectors will drive the demand for plastics.
Chemicals industry is a diversified industry and covers more than 80,000 commercial products. It provides key building blocks to a host of downstream industries such as automobiles, textiles, papers, paints, soaps, detergents, pharmaceuticals among many others. It is a capital intensive industry which employs approx. 2 Mn people in India. As a result, it plays a key role in the economic and social development of the country. It is a critical element of the manufacturing industry and is highly fragmented in the downstream sector. Globally, chemical industry was valued at $ 4.5 Tn in 2016 and is expected to grow at 5.5% per annum till 2020 driven by demand from end use industries. The industry is increasingly shifting eastwards in line with the shift of its key consumer industries (e.g. automotive, electronics, etc.), to leverage higher manufacturing competitiveness of emerging Asian economies and to serve the increasing local demand. China, as result of this shift, is the largest contributor with 34% share followed by European Union (17%) and North America (16%) to the global chemical industry.
Agriculture holds a prime importance in the socio-economic fabric of India. Agriculture and allied sectors have remained the backbone of the Indian economy and account for ~17% of the country's GDP. India, with a second largest agricultural land in the world (157 Mn hectares), is also ranked 2nd globally in terms of agricultural output (USD 382 Bn) behind China (USD 1,005 Bn). Agriculture in India employs more than 50% of India's working population. A split of major Agricultural produce in India (FY15) is provided in the graph below. Sugarcane and Fruits & vegetable contributed to 57% of the total volume of 1,080 Million tonnes
The Indian chemical industry is overall the 3rd largest in Asia after China and Japan in terms of volume contribution to the global market. The chemical industry in India has started to evolve rapidly since the last five years and has grown to an estimated USD 148 billion in FY16. Despite its large size and significant GDP contribution, the industry accounted for only around 3% of the global chemicals industry (~USD 4.3 Trillion). As per UN Comtrade Database for 2015, India ranks 17th in the world exports of chemicals (excluding pharmaceutical products) and ranks 6th in the world imports of chemicals (excluding pharmaceutical products).
Globally, the demand for industrial catalysts is driven by the surging demand for chemicals in various end applications in industries such as personal care products, lubricants, petroleum refinery, pharmaceuticals and foods & beverages. Growing awareness among manufacturers of chemicals and consumers, related to environment and increasing emissions impacting the eco system have led to highly intense competition in the global market for catalysts.
As per research reports, the global industrial catalyst market is estimated at roughly USD 17.5 bn (depicted in Figure 5) as of FY15 and is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 4% - 5% during FY15 to FY20, on account of rising consumption of chemicals and their applicability. The APAC region remains the major market followed by North America and Europe. In the forecast period, the APAC region is expected to continue to witness strong growth driven by India and China
Indian Plastic industry is making significant contribution to the economic development and growth of various key sectors in the country such as: Automotive, Construction, Electronics, Healthcare, Textiles, FMCG , etc. It 2 has grown at 10% CAGR over the last five years to reach 13.4 MTPA in FY15. Current low penetration level and hence, low per capita consumption (~9.7 Kg) along with increased growth in end use industries could propel the growth of plastics further. Plastic industry is estimated to grow at ~10% in the near future reaching 21.6 MTPA by FY20.
India’s chemical industry contributes approximately 7% to the country’s GDP and accounted for ~13-14% of the total Indian exports in 2015. The Indian chemical industry accounts for ~4% of the global chemical industry. Indian chemical industry is currently estimated at ~USD 151 billion (including pharmaceuticals) and has been growing at 9.8% CAGR over the past three years. The demand growth is expected to primarily be fuelled by domestic consumption because per capita consumption of most of the chemicals is much lower than global averages. Moreover, with a strong outlook for key end user industries, the demand for chemical products is expected to surge in the coming years.
The western coast of India has been the key hub for chemicals and petrochemicals industry with Gujarat and Maharashtra alone accounting for 62% of major chemical and petrochemicals production across India. Since production clusters are concentrated in one particular region, better infrastructure and logistics are required to supply chemical products across the country. The lengthening of supply lines makes the distribution of chemicals more transport intensive. The involvement of a large number of stakeholders (shipping lines, transport agencies, environmental agencies, etc.) in the transportation of chemical products increases the logistics and supply chain complexity of the chemicals industry.
There has been significant progress in the adoption of Plasticulture techniques in the last decade, however the low penetration levels suggest it needs to grow at a rapid pace from now. On the demand side awareness of the available options and subsidies, its relevance and applicability could improve the adoption rate. From the supply side industry needs to take efforts to bring down the capital cost, work on creating an environment where Plasticulture culture is a norm than exception. Concentrated efforts in direction of demonstration, spreading word of mouth, and building credibility by performance & after-sales services could help shape the industry.
India is the fourth largest global producer of agrochemicals after the US, Japan and China. This segment generated a value of USD 4.4 billion in FY15 and is expected to grow at 7.5% per annum to reach USD 6.3 billion by FY20. Approximately 50% of the demand comes from domestic consumers and the rest from exports. During the same period, the domestic demand is expected to grow at 6.5% per annum and exports at 9% per annum.
Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) and TATA Strategic Management Group (TSMG) together have taken an initiative to highlight the importance of chemical industry for the Indian economy and we are pleased to present the fourth edition of the handbook.
Indian chemical industry is estimated to be valued at $147 Bn in 2015 and contributes 3% to the global chemical industry. It ranks 14th in exports and 8th in imports of chemicals (excluding pharmaceutical products) globally. India's chemical's trade balance is negative with imports being significantly higher than the exports. Net imports have grown at 17% per annum during the 2011-15 period. Western India has been the dominant region contributing approx. 50% to the Gross Value Added (GVA) for the chemical sector.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

ith the government targeting implementa-
tion of GST in the next financial year, the
Indian industry will be busy understand-
ing its impact and deciding on how to do
business in the changed environment. The USD 40 bn.
Pharmaceutical industry is no exception as it has to pre-
pare itself for GST readiness and reevaluate its complex
supply chain network which span across India.
Indian Pharmaceutical industry is plagued by drug &
price regulations, complex multi-stage taxation and loca-
tion based incentives provided by certain states. This has
resulted in bringing inefficiency and undue complexity in
supply chains in India. But the imminent roll-out of GST
provides a silver lining for companies to simplify their
operations, and achieve better efficiencies enabling them
to serve customers better.
The GST - Supply Chain Challenge
The supply chain challenge for companies lies in rede-
signing their networks end to end along with optimizing
their sales and operations planning. Companies must do
a comprehensive evaluation of their existing supply chain
and associated business processes in order to identify
how they can achieve better economies of scale and adopt
better processes in order to drive down costs and better
serve customers.
Figure 1 describes various aspects companies need to
look at while preparing for GST readiness.
From the perspective of legal and tax compliance, com-
panies will also have to redesign their business processes
to adhere to the rules set by GST. This will require them
to invest in redesigning their systems and further change
management within their organization. Companies will
also have to engage with their supply chain stakeholders
such as suppliers and logistics service providers in order
create a common platform for working together post GST
implementation.
Driving such change management across the organiza-
tion would require a dedicated Project Management Of-
fice (PMO) which can manage all the requisite aspects
of preparing the company for the post-GST business
environment. The change management would require a
phased approach,
• The first stage would be to design and implement the
systems for legal and tax compliance
• Next step is assessing the existing supply chain to
identify opportunities for improvement such as sales
and operations planning and network realignment
• The last step would be the change management pro-
cess for aligning people and business processes to the
GST impact on Business

modified structure and generating gains from it.
Network realignment may help reduce costs and improving
serviceability
On implementation of GST, the biggest benefit companies can see is reduc-
tion in their logistics and distribution costs along with improvement in mar-
ket responsiveness by reconfiguring their distribution networks. Companies
can do away with the current practice of having a warehouse in each state in
order which was designed to reduce the tax burden in the current tax regime
and adopt an optimized network with hub and spoke model consisting of
larger warehouses, better routes and ideal modal mix to serve their custom-
ers better in the GST scenario (Fig.2).
Savings along the logistics and distribution chain can amount to ~5-8% in
transportation, ~10-12% in warehousing and up to 25% in inventory holding
costs, leading to an overall savings in the range of 10-12% of the total overall
supply chain cost. For example, a company having multiple CFAs in Northern
states can look at consolidating its network and plan a regional hub to serve
different markets. This is possible mainly because of the easier accessibility
to key consumer clusters from a central warehouse (in most cases the tran-
sit times are less than 12hrs). A detailed network realignment assessment is
required to map OD pairs while identifying and designing new modal mix,
delivery routes and new warehouse locations.
Other important benefit will be the mechanism of input credit offset which
will be provided in the GST regime. The utilization of credit available in the
electronic ledgers of IGST, CGST and SGST towards input credits at each val-
ue addition stage will result in avoiding the now prevailing cascading taxation
which raises the final prices of goods and services to the consumer.

tor for increasing the domestic manufacturing footprint.
Even as India has become the largest source of high qual-
ity, low cost generic drugs for the world, we are still lag-
ging behind in terms of domestic Active Pharmaceutical
Ingredient (API) manufacturing.
Inverted duty structure currently prevailing in India is a
key factor undermining the domestic manufacturing of
API. Key raw materials imported for domestic production
of API are taxed at a higher rate than the imported API
making it uncompetitive against imports from China. Ra-
tionalizing this practice with the implementation of GST
will benefit the country in the long run by developing do-
mestic production capabilities. In 2002, the implemen-
tation of Auto policy and reversion of inverted duty has
now resulted in India becoming an auto manufacturing
hub.
Current location based tax benefits may
be converted into tax refunds
One major concern would be the discontinuance of the
area based tax exemptions that the companies enjoy for
setting up their manufacturing plants in specific states
and regions. Numerous pharmaceutical companies have
setup their manufacturing plants in Baddi, Himachal
Pradesh and Sikkim as the tax exemptions overrode high-
er logistics costs due to poor accessibility of these regions.
The discussion papers on GST proposed converting these
to a tax refund mechanism, but even so it would have a
neutral impact on the Pharmaceutical companies. An-
other drawback would be the taxation of free supplies to
the sales and distribution in the form of schemes and bo-
nuses which would require a rethink on the promotional
practices of Pharmaceutical companies.
Looking forward
Pharmaceutical companies must pro-actively act on as-
sessing their readiness for GST and reconfigure their
supply chain and business processes by setting up a dedi-
cated Project Management Office. TSMG’s customized
NetOptix (network optimization) tool can help compa-
nies in assessing their supply chains and realigning them
to take advantage of the GST policy as India becomes a
single market without taxation related supply chain bot-
tlenecks.
Those who move early are likely to gain an advantage on
cost and service levels over their competitors and deliver
a better value proposition to the customer.
