The document discusses physical distribution, which involves planning, implementing, and controlling the flow of materials and goods from origin to customers. The main costs of physical distribution are transportation, inventory, warehousing, order processing, and customer service. Companies aim to get the right goods to customers at the right time and place for the least cost, but maximizing customer service often increases costs. Physical distribution involves order processing, warehousing and inventory levels, and transportation choices that require coordination to balance costs and customer satisfaction.
Transportation providers now play a more vital role in the fresh food supply chain than ever before. They are expected to provide fast, efficient and sanitary last mile logistics services as this directly impacts the freshness of produce inventory. Product freshness is more critical than ever due to increased customer expectations as consumers are now more educated about varying inventory options available to them. In order for retail grocers to capture market share they must be able to guarantee the highest quality product at the lowest prices- something they can only do by partnering with a reliable and high performing transportation partner. Transportation operations have been impacted by legislation such as the FSMA Sanitary Transportation of Human & Animal Food Rule. Under this legislation many transportation providers have had to make adjustments to their operational processes in order to meet the stringent requirements relating to proper refrigeration during transport, trailer cleansing between loads and proper food protection. Produce inventory shrinkage rates are high due to poor handling during transit. This has spurred advancements in produce packaging and loading procedures. Technology such as cartonization software is being utilized to assist warehouse staff in selecting proper packaging. Transportation providers are also implementing warehouse management software to help direct reverse loading procedures. Reverse loading trailers helps to lower handling requirements as deliveries are made. Minimized handling can potentially reduce inventory damage during transit. Temperature monitors are also being implemented to assist in maintaining regulatory compliance. These monitors track pre-cooling, temperature during transit and temperature at time of delivery. This information helps to complete the audit trail required for FDA FSMA compliance. Vehicle maintenance has also been brought to the forefront as a key factor in ensuring produce inventory quality. Properly maintaining vehicles reduces instances of break downs where inventory shrinkage may occur. Regular maintenance checks are often automated through the transportation providers WMS software. Fuel prices have also affected transportation operations and how they develop their distribution networks. Many are moving towards a spoke-and-wheel strategy, bringing products closer to consumers.

Centralizing warehousing is a system where a retailer or its supplier maintains a single, central warehouse versus several facilities spread out to cover a territory. While a centralized approach may lead to longer lead times on orders, it does offer a number of benefits compared to decentralized warehousing.

Supply chain definition
The systemic, strategic coordination of the traditional business functions and the tactics across these business functions within a particular company and across businesses within the supply chain, for the purposes of improving the long-term performance of the individual companies and the supply chain as a whole.”
“A supply chain is the alignment of firms that bring products or services to market.”
“A supply chain consists of all stages involved, directly or indirectly, in fulfilling a customer request. The supply chain not only includes the manufacturer and suppliers, but also transporters, warehouses, retailers, and customers themselves.”
“A supply chain is a network of facilities and distribution options that performs the functions of procurement of materials, transformation of these materials into intermediate and finished products, and the distribution of these finished products to customers.”
“Supply chain management is the coordination of production, inventory, location, and transportation among the participants in a supply chain to achieve the best mix of responsiveness and efficiency for the market being served.”
There is a difference between the concept of supply chain management and the traditional concept of logistics. Logistics typically refers to activities that occur within the boundaries of a single organization and supply chains refer to networks of companies that work together and coordinate their actions to deliver a product to market. Also traditional logistics focuses its attention on activities such as procurement, distribution, maintenance, and inventory management. Supply chain management acknowledges all of traditional logistics and also includes activities such as marketing, new product development, finance, and customer service. Supply chain management views the supply chain and the organizations in it as a single entity. It brings a systems approach to understanding and managing the different activities needed to coordinate the flow of products and services to best serve the ultimate customer.
Different supply chain requirements often have conflicting needs. For instance, the requirement of maintaining high levels of customer service calls for maintaining high levels of inventory, but then the requirement to operate efficiently calls for reducing inventory levels. It is only when these requirements are seen together as parts of a larger picture that ways can be found to effectively balance their different demands.
Effective supply chain management requires simultaneous improvements in both customer service levels and the internal operating efficiencies of the companies in the supply chain. There is a basic pattern to the practice of supply chain management. Each supply chain has its own unique set of market demands and operating challenges and yet the issues remain essentially the same in every case. Companies in any supply chain must make decisions indivi

KEY ELEMENTS OF SUPPLY CHAIN STRATEGY
A supply chain strategy involves many interlocking activities and decisions, large and small. According
to Michael Porter, strategy guru and author of Competitive Advantage, successful business strategy relies
on the concept of “fit”—that is, a group of activities that support a chosen competitive strategy.
Although any single activity can be copied, the activities taken together form a system that is virtually
impossible to duplicate.9
Porter’s concept of fitness holds equally true for supply chain strategy. Five elements of your
business—and the choices you make regarding these elements—are fundamental:
Customer service. What are your objectives in terms of delivery speed, accuracy, and
flexibility?
Sales channels. How will your customers order and receive your goods and services?
Value system. Which supply chain activities will be performed by your organization and which
by your partners?
Operating model. How will you organize the planning, ordering, production, and delivery
processes to provide customer service while still meeting your working capital and cost
objectives?
Asset footprint. Where will you locate your supply chain resources, and what is their scope of
action?
Companies often make decisions about each of these elements in isolation, without considering the
others. It’s possible, for example, to develop a manufacturing footprint that reduces costs, only to fall
short of required customer-service levels. To get the full strategic benefit a supply chain can offer,
however, it’s critical to treat each element as part of an integrated whole (Figure 1.2).

CUSTOMER SERVICE
The first step in developing a supply chain strategy is to define customer service objectives. Offering
various levels of delivery speed, accuracy, and flexibility for different types of customers can help
distinguish the overall customer experience. Should, for example, deliveries reach all customers in the
same amount of time, or should customers who are more valuable receive deliveries faster? Should the
ordering process be the same for all customers? Answers to questions like these will be dictated by your
company’s business strategy and target audience—that is, whether you are addressing B2C or B2B
segments.
Business to Consumer
In the B2C world, off-the-shelf product availability is often the key service criterion. Customers are
willing to wait for hot products from a leading brand—but only up to a point. Retailer Nordstrom

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

2. Physical Distribution has to do with the ways in which
companies store, handle and move goods for availability
to customers at the right time and place.
Last week we looked at the various channels of
distribution; this week we will look at the actual moving of
goods to market.
3. The main elements of the physical distribution mix
involves planning, implementing, and controlling the
physical flow of materials and final goods from points of
origin to points of use to meet the needs of customers at
a profit.
The major physical distribution cost is
transportation, followed by inventory, warehousing, order
processing, and customer service.
Management of most companies are concerned about
the total cost of physical distribution. Large savings can
be gained in the physical distribution area.
4. Physical distribution is more than just a cost – it is a
potent tool in demand creation. Customers are attracted
by better service and lower prices that are achieved
through better physical distribution. However, companies
can lose customers when they fail to supply goods on
time.
continued
5. Many companies state their objective is getting the right
goods to the right place at the right time for the least
cost.
Unfortunately, no physical distribution system can both
maximize customer service and minimize distribution
costs.
Maximizing customer service implies large inventories,
best transportation mode and many warehouses – and
this means higher costs.
6. The starting point for designing the system is to study
what customers want and what competitors are offering.
A company will want to offer at least the same level of
service as its competitors.
Appliance manufactures must offer a sufficient service center to
satisfy customer service. So the questions for any company are:
How should orders be handled (order processing)?
Where should stocks be located (warehousing)?
How much stock should be kept on hand (inventory)?
How should goods be shipped (transportation)?
continued
7. Physical distribution begins with a customer placing an
order. The order department prepares invoices and
sends them to various departments. Items out of stock
are backordered. Shipped items are accompanied by
shipping and billing documents, with copies going to
various departments.
Both the company and its customers benefit when the
order processing steps are carried out quickly and
accurately.
8. Every company must store its good while they wait to be
sold. A storage function is needed because production
and consumption cycles rarely match.
For instance, lawnmowers must be produced all year long and
stored up for sale in the spring and summer.
A company must decide on the best number of stocking
locations. The more stocking locations the more quickly
goods can be delivered to customers.
However, more locations mean higher warehousing costs.
Companies try to find a balance between warehousing costs and
customer satisfaction.
9. Companies may use storage warehouses or distribution
centers.
Storage warehouses store goods for moderate to long periods.
Distribution centers are designed to move goods rather than just
store them. They are large and highly automated warehouses
designed to receive goods from various plants and suppliers,
take orders, fill them efficiently, and deliver goods to customers
as quickly as possible.
continued
10. Inventory levels also affect customer satisfaction.
Marketers would like their companies to carry enough
stock to fill all customer orders right away.
However, it costs too much for a company to carry that
much inventory. Inventory costs rise at an increasing rate
as the customer service level approaches 100 percent.
To justify large inventories, management needs to know
whether sales and profits will increase accordingly.
Inventory decisions involve knowing both when to order
and how much to order.
11. Marketers need to take an interest in their company’s
transportation decisions.
The choice of transportation affects the pricing of the
products, delivery performance, and condition of the
goods when they arrive.
All of these affect customer satisfaction.
TransportationInventoryWarehousing
Warehousing, inventory, and transportation decisions require a great deal of
Coordination. Many companies coordinate its physical distribution and marketing
decisions and activities in order to create high market
satisfaction at a reasonable const.
