Analysis On Failures And Success Of Various Company Due To Issues Faced In Supply Chain.
Success in global sourcing requires the know-how on international trade laws, culture and language barriers, global economy and logistics. This presentation shows you the five key stages of global sourcing.
“The Enterprise Supply Chain View” is the first topic of a supply chain learning series that ScottMadden is presenting along with Shared Services & Outsourcing Network (SSON).
Supplier collaboration and the resulting improvements are critical requirements for implementing lean across the supply chain. In this 1-hour webinar, learn how to start developing your suppliers to drive results in cost, lead time, and material availability.
We will explore:
Why managing supplier performance is critical to a lean logistics strategy
Recommended tools to monitor, communicate, and advocate supplier performance
Management systems: dashboards and the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle
Results: learn how one customer used a disciplined supplier development process to impact freight costs and margins.
*This webinar is part of a special “Go to the Gemba” series where we interview different industry supply chain professionals about how they use lean principles and tools to solve their challenges.
Companies are relocating manufacturing and sourcing to regions with lower labour costs to stay competitive. This affects the efficiency of warehousing and distribution. But which elements, in particular, will be strategically important in the next two years?
Markets are changing – as are customer and service requirements. You may have implemented a new manufacturing and supply chain setup, but customers are asking for more frequent and faster deliveries.
The key to staying competitive is how quickly you can get your products from the warehouse to your customers. This can challenge your operations and calls for a review of your warehouse and distribution setup.
We asked our international clients which themes, within warehousing and distribution, they believe will have the most strategic relevance within the next two years. Here are the top five.

Automobile Management System Project Report.pdfKamal Acharya
The proposed project is developed to manage the automobile in the automobile dealer company. The main module in this project is login, automobile management, customer management, sales, complaints and reports. The first module is the login. The automobile showroom owner should login to the project for usage. The username and password are verified and if it is correct, next form opens. If the username and password are not correct, it shows the error message.
When a customer search for a automobile, if the automobile is available, they will be taken to a page that shows the details of the automobile including automobile name, automobile ID, quantity, price etc. “Automobile Management System” is useful for maintaining automobiles, customers effectively and hence helps for establishing good relation between customer and automobile organization. It contains various customized modules for effectively maintaining automobiles and stock information accurately and safely.
When the automobile is sold to the customer, stock will be reduced automatically. When a new purchase is made, stock will be increased automatically. While selecting automobiles for sale, the proposed software will automatically check for total number of available stock of that particular item, if the total stock of that particular item is less than 5, software will notify the user to purchase the particular item.
Also when the user tries to sale items which are not in stock, the system will prompt the user that the stock is not enough. Customers of this system can search for a automobile; can purchase a automobile easily by selecting fast. On the other hand the stock of automobiles can be maintained perfectly by the automobile shop manager overcoming the drawbacks of existing system.
