CHAPTER-I
1. LOGISTICS INDUSTRY IN INDIA
1.1.1 INTRODUCTION
India has become the prime destination for logistics service providers all over the world.
The demand for logistics services in India has been largely driven by the remarkable growth of
the economy. The growth is being projected at 9-10 per cent in next few years, with the CAGR
(compounded annual growth rate) expected to grow at a rate of 7-8 per cent. This growth is
expected to gain greater momentum due to the exponential growth of the Indian economy. India
is also experiencing a big retail boom as the buying capacity of the middle and upper middle
segment of the population has scaled new heights. Many large multinationals from the retail
industry are planning to set up operation in India and large local retailers are also planning to
expand their operations. But with the infrastructure largely under-developed and incapable of
catering to a growing economy, logistics management in India becomes too complex. The poor
condition of infrastructure directly translates to higher turnover, pushing up the operating costs
and reducing efficiency. There are other problems such as complex regulatory compliance and
limited adoption and utilization of technology, which has resulted in increased paperwork and
inability to communicate effectively with customers.
In spite of dismal infrastructural scenario, the hopes of the logistics sector are kept up by the
various upcoming infrastructural projects like logistics parks and hubs and other initiatives by
public and private sector. The future of the logistics sector depends not only on the continued
development of infrastructure but also on the capability of the service providers in adapting
themselves and making optimal utilization of technology.
India is emerging as one of the world’s leading consumer market with the raise of middle income
group. Estimated at US$991 billion in 2020, Total consumption expenditure is expected to
grow to nearly US$ 3.6 trillion in 2020. Food, housing & consumer durable and transport &
communication are expected to be the top 3 categories, accounting for 65% of consumption in
2020. The FMCG sector alone is expected to grow at a base rate of 12 % annually to become an
INR 4000 billion industry by 2020. The logistics sector is expected to play an important role in
accessing this emerging market and enabling this growth.
1.1.2 INDUSTRY TRENDS
Transportation: Container cargo represents only about 30% (by value) of India's external trade-
much lower when compared with the global containerized cargo average of 70-75%. At a growth
rate of 12%, India's container cargo traffic is estimated to reach 15 million TEUs by FY16E from
about 7.5 million TEUs now (at 12 major ports). In comparison, China has created capacity at
its ports to handle more than 100 million TEUs a year. Out of the 15 mn TEUs of total container
traffic, we estimate Exim rail container traffic to be 5 mn TEUs by FY16E. This would be a huge
opportunity and will significantly benefit container rail operators.
Rising investment in the rail and port spaces also fuels growth in allied industries like wagon
manufacturing, port handling equipment, railway electrification systems and construction
companies.
To reduce the transportation cost and for quicker movement of cargo Multimodal transport
operation is introduced (MTO). MTO helps exporters with less documentation for instance single
document for all modes of transport.
Third Party Logistics (3PL): Outsourcing is everywhere. Logistics industry is no exception.
Logistics services like transportation, warehousing, cross docking, Inventory management,
packaging and freight forwarding all are part of third party logistic services. Companies in India
currently outsource an estimated of 52% of logistics. And 3PL industry is estimated to be US$
1.5bn in FY14. 3PL represents only 1% of logistics cost emphasis its significance in the industry.
Future is no doubt lying in outsourcing. As the growth in the 3PL market is expected to be in
the range of 25-30% CAGR over FY11-14E. As of now, the 3PL activity is limited to only few
industries like automotive, IT hardware, telecom and infrastructure equipment.
The organised 3PL market in India can be categorised into three major segments – public
sector, private sector and foreign entrants. Some of the major players in each category are: TVS
logistics, DIESL (TATA), Panalpina, TCI, Gati, Allcargo, V Trans, Total, VRL and Reliance etc.
Private Participation: The industry is becoming more competent with the entry of global
giants like Gazeley Broekmen (Wal-Mart's logistics partner), CH Robinson and Kerry logistics
and large Indian corporate houses like Tata, Reliance and Bharti group. A series of mergers
and acquisition like DHL acquired Blue Dart, TNT acquired Speedage Express Cargo Service
and Fedex bought over Pafex, are also leading to consolidation industry at various levels and
segments. Many of these companies are planning to broaden their areas of operation and are also
planning to develop their own logistic parks across the country. If the trend continues as per the
estimates, the market share of the organized logistics players is expected to double from 6% in
2013 to approx. 12% by 2020.
Express logistics: Organised players have monopoly over the express logistics industry. 65%
of express business is in the hands of organized players, while semi-organised and unorganised
players accounts for 25% and the remaining 10% of the market by EMS Speed Post. But
altogether different picture can be witnessed in the domestic segment. In domestic front,
unorganised players hold 41% of the market share based on price advantage. While organised
players accounts for 45% and EMS Speed Post the remaining 14%.
Warehouses: Recently, warehouses have become key growth drivers in the logistics industry.
Apart from conventional storing services, warehouses now providing value-added services like
consolidation and breaking up of cargo, packaging, labelling, bar coding and reverse logistics
etc. warehousing and related activities account for approx. 20% of the total logistics industry.
Most of the warehousing space in India lies with unorganised players in domestic front, which
is causing wide supply and demand gap in storage space. According to KPMG, an additional
120million square feet of warehousing space is needed by 2013 to bridge this gap.
Currently, the organised warehousing industry in India has a capacity of approx. 80million
metric tonnes and is growing at 35 to 40 per cent per annum. An investment of approximately
US$ 500million is being planned by various logistics companies for the development of about
45million square feet of warehouse space by 2013.Many players in this segment such as Multi
Modal Logistics Park, Mega Food Parks and Free Trade Warehousing Zones have planned next
generation storage models.
Logistic parks: About 110 logistics parks spread over approximately 3,500 acres at an estimated
cost of $1 bn are expected to be operational and an estimated 45 mn ft2 of warehousing space
with an investment of $ 500 mn is expected to be developed by various logistics companies by
2020.
Majority of these logistics parks are planned in close proximity to state capitals. However,
availability of large land parcels at relatively low cost, connectivity to multiple markets across
states and industrial clusters has led to the emergence of some tier-2 and tier-3 cities as favoured
destinations for the development of logistics parks and warehouses.
1.1.3 Government Initiatives and regulations
Initiatives:
To emphasis the significance of transportation in logistics industry and to increase the
competence in the sector government introduced private participation, especially in port sector.
The major initiative in transport infrastructure is introduction of National Maritime Development
Program (NMDP) with an investment of Rs 568bn. NMDP would be addressing the challenges
of the growing international traffic demand of the country along with developing the port
facilities at par with world standards. While liberalizing the railway services, government opened
the doors of container business to the private parties. A total of 15 players immediately entered
the market.
FDI regulations
• In general 100% FDI under the automatic route is permitted for all logistic services
• FDI up to 100% subject to FIPB approval is permitted for courier services.
• FDI up to 49% under the automatic route is permitted for air transport services, including
air cargo services.
• 100% FDI is permitted in Ports and Harbours under automatic route
• 100% FDI is permitted under the automatic route for storage and warehousing including
warehousing of agricultural products with cold storage.
• 100% FDI is permitted in transport and transport support services through automatic
route.
1.1.4 Indian Logistics Industry- Future Trends
There have been several key indicators to the future trend in the Indian logistics
sector. The demand for logistics services has been largely driven by the remarkable
growth of the Indian economy. Logistics spend in India is estimated to be around 13% of
the GDP, which is comparatively higher than other developed countries.
The air transport sector’s contribution has been around 0.2 per cent of the country’s
GDP, while the transport sector’s contribution to the GDP has been growing over the last
couple of years. India’s air cargo is predicted to grow at over CAGR of 11.5 per cent in
the next few years.
The contribution of the marine transport sector has also been around 0.2% to the
country’s GDP. The sector’s contribution to the GDP has been increasing mostly because
of the growing economic developments in the country. The role of the shipping industry
in the growth of Indian economy has been very significant. Major ports in India together
have handled around 500 million tonnes of cargo in the past two years and this figure is
growing significantly.
The Indian railways has realised the necessity to improve the infrastructure
provide better service. The plan to develop Logistics Parks or hubs has the potential to
streamline and optimize the supply chain and reduce the costs. Currently around 80% of
the goods in India move by road, the railways has to essentially devise plans to divert this
traffic to the rail.
India’s logistics sector attracted huge investments, leaving behind some of the
major sectors including aviation, metals, and consumer durables. The growths in the
retail and manufacturing industry, commodity markets and development of SEZs have
been key factors in the growth of Indian logistics industry. Recent studies have indicated
that the Indian logistics industry is expected to grow annually at the rate of 15 to 20%. A
number of infrastructural projects involving warehouse and logistics parks are being
undertaken are expected to be operational in the next 2-3 years.
The setting up special economic zones (SEZs) has led to increased logistics
activities around them. Several logistics parks have come up at locations like Mumbai,
Kolkata, Chennai and Hyderabad because of their excellent port, rail, and road
connectivity and are witnessing significant investment in infrastructure. Many of the
large logistics players are in the process of setting up warehouses, container freight
stations (CFS), inland container depots(ICD), logistics parks, distribution centers and
other facilities to leverage the abundant opportunities. Increase in foreign trade is
expected to further accelerate the demand for logistics services.
The future of the Industry is very bright and is sure to witness exponential growth
in the coming years. The increased participation of both public and private sector is
crucial for developing logistics and improving supply chain management. Not only do
the logistics companies need to create efficient business to thrive in the logistics sector,
but they also need to explore ways for investing energy, costs and time to grow a strong
logistics system

2. Literature Survey
2.1.1 Logistics
Logistics is the management of the flow of resources between the point of origin and the point of
destination in order to meet some requirements, for example, of customers or corporations. The
resources managed in logistics can Include physical items, such as food, materials, equipment,
liquids, and staff, as well as abstract items, such as Information, particles, and energy. The
logistics of physical items usually involves the integration of information flow, material
handling, production, packaging, inventory, transportation, warehousing, and often security. The
complexity of logistics can be modeled, analyzed, visualized, and optimized by dedicated
simulation software. The minimization of the use of resources and time are common motives.
2.1.2 Origins and definition
The term logistics comes from the late 19th century: from French logistique, from
loger 'to lodge' Logistics is considered to have originated in the military's need to supply itself
with arms, ammunition, and rations as it moved from a base to a forward position. In the ancient
Greek, Roman, and Byzantine Empires, military officers with the title Logistikas were
responsible for financial and supply distribution matters.
The Oxford English Dictionary defines logistics as "the branch of military science
relating to procuring, maintaining and transporting material, personnel and facilities."
However, the New Oxford American Dictionary defines logistics as "the detailed
coordination of a complex operation involving many people, facilities, or supplies", and the
Oxford Dictionary online defines it as "the detailed organization and implementation of a
complex operation".
Another dictionary definition is "the time-related positioning of resources." As such,
logistics is commonly seen as a branch of engineering that creates "people systems" rather
than "machine systems".
According to the Council of Logistics Management, logistics includes the integrated
planning, control, realization, and monitoring of all internal and network-wide material, part, and
product flow, including the necessary information flow, in industrial and trading companies
along the complete value-added chain (and product life cycle) for the purpose of conforming to
customer requirements.
Logistics is the process of planning, implementing, and controlling the effective and
efficient flow of goods and services from the point of origin to the point of consumption.
Main logistics targets
Logistics is one of the main functions within a company. The main targets of logistics
can be divided into performance-related and cost-related targets. A few examples are high due
date reliability, short delivery times, low inventory level, and high utilization of capacity. When
decisions are made, there is a trade-off between targets.
Logistics viewpoints
Inbound logistics is one of the primary processes of logistics, concentrating on
purchasing and arranging the inbound movement of materials, parts, and/or finished inventory
from suppliers to manufacturing or assembly plants, warehouses, or retail stores. Outbound
logistics is the process related to the storage and movement of the final product and the related
information flows from the end of the production line to the end user.
Logistics fields
Given the services performed by logisticians, the main fields of logistics can be broken
down as follows:
• Procurement logistics
• Production logistics
• Distribution logistics
• After sales logistics
• Disposal logistics
• Reverse logistics
• Global logistics
• Domestics logistics
Procurement logistics consists of activities such as market research, requirements planning,
make-or-buy decisions, supplier management, ordering, and order controlling. The targets in
procurement logistics might be contradictory: maximizing efficiency by concentrating on core
competences, outsourcing while maintaining the autonomy of the company, or minimizing
procurement costs while maximizing security within the supply process.
Production logistics connects procurement to distribution logistics. Its main function is
to use available production capacities to produce the products needed in distribution logistics.
Production logistics activities are related to organizational concepts, layout planning, production
planning, and control.
Distribution logistics has, as main tasks, the delivery of the finished products to the
customer. It consists of order
processing, warehousing, and transportation. Distribution logistics is necessary because the time,
place, and quantity
of production differs with the time, place, and quantity of consumption.
Disposal logistics has as its main function to reduce logistics cost(s) and enhance service(s)
related to the disposal of waste produced during the operation of a business.
Reverse logistics denotes all those operations related to the reuse of products and materials.
The reverse logistics process includes the management and the sale of surpluses, as well as
products being returned to vendors from buyers.
Business logistics
One definition of business logistics speaks of "having the right item in the right quantity
at the right time at the right place for the right price in the right condition to the right customer".
As the science of process, business logistics incorporates all industry sectors. Logistics work
aims to manage the fruition of project life cycles, supply chains, and resultant efficiencies.
Logistics as a business concept evolved in the 1950s due to the increasing complexity of
supplying businesses with materials and shipping out products in an increasingly globalized
supply chain, leading to a call for experts called "supply chain logisticians". In business, logistics
may have either an internal focus (inbound logistics) or an external focus (outbound logistics),
covering the flow and storage of materials from point of origin to point of consumption (see
supply-chain management). The main functions of a qualified logistician include inventory
management, purchasing, transportation, warehousing, consultation, and the organizing and
planning of these activities. Logisticians combine a professional knowledge of each of these
functions to coordinate resources in an organization. There are two fundamentally different
forms of logistics: one optimizes a steady flow of material through a network of transport links
and storage nodes, while the other coordinates a sequence of resources to carry out some project.
Production logistics
The term production logistics describes logistic processes within an industry. Production
logistics aims to ensure that each machine and workstation receives the right product in the right
quantity and quality at the right time. The concern is not the transportation itself, but to
streamline and control the flow through value-adding processes and to eliminate non–value-
adding processes. Production logistics can operate in existing as well as new plants.
Manufacturing in an existing plant is a constantly changing process. Machines are
exchanged and new ones added, which gives the opportunity to improve the production logistics
system accordingly. Production logistics provides the means to achieve customer response and
capital efficiency. Production logistics becomes more important with decreasing batch sizes. In
many industries (e.g., mobile phones), the short-term goal is a batch size of one, allowing even a
single customer's demand to be fulfilled efficiently.
Track and tracing, which is an essential part of production logistics due to product safety
and reliability issues, is also gaining importance, especially in the automotive and medical
industries.
2.2 Review of literature
The Indian economy has been growing at an average rate of more than 8 per cent over the
last four years (Srinivas, 2006) putting enormous demands on its productive infrastructure.
Whether it is the physical infrastructure of road, ports, water, power etc. or the digital
infrastructure of broadband networks, telecommunication etc. or the service infrastructure of
logistics – all are being stretched to perform beyond their capabilities. Interestingly, this is
leading to an emergence of innovative practices to allow business and public service to operate
at a higher growth rate in an environment where the support systems are getting augmented
concurrently. In this paper, we present the status of the evolving logistics sector in India,
innovations therein through interesting business models and the challenges that it faces in years
to come.
Broadly speaking, the Indian logistics sector, as elsewhere, comprises the entire inbound
and outbound segments of the manufacturing and service supply chains. Of late, the logistics
infrastructure has received lot of attention both from business and industry as well as policy
makers. However, the role of managing this infrastructure (or the logistics management regimen)
to effectively compete has been slightly under-emphasized. Inadequate logistics infrastructure
has an effect of creating bottlenecks in the growth of an economy, the logistics management
regimen has the capability of overcoming the disadvantages of the infrastructure in the short run
while providing cutting edge competitiveness in the long term. It is here that exist several
challenges as well as opportunities for the Indian economy. There are several models that seem
to be emerging based on the critical needs of the Indian economy that can stand as viable models
for other global economies as well.
Chandra and Sastry (2004) have pointed towards two key areas that require attention in
managing the logistics chains across the Indian business sectors – cost and reliable value add
services. Logistics costs (i.e., inventory holding, transportation, warehousing, packaging, losses
and related administration costs) have been estimated at 13-14 per cent of Indian GDP which is
higher than the 8 per cent of USA’s and lower than the 21 per cent of China’s GDP (Sanyal,
2006a). Service reliability of the logistics industry in emerging markets, like India, has been
referred to as slow and requiring high engagement time of the customers, thereby, incurring high
indirect variable costs (Dobberstein et. al, 2005).
However, the Indian logistics story is one with islands of excellence though there has
been a general improvement on almost all parameters. It is this aspect that we explore further in
this paper. The paper is organized as follows: the next section gives a brief introduction of some
of the peculiarities of the Indian logistics sector.

4.1. Container Corporation of India Limited (CONCOR)
Container Corporation of India Limited (CONCOR) was set up in March of the year
1988 and commenced operation from November of the year 1989 taking over the existing
network of 7 Inland Container Depots (ICDs) from the Indian Railways to profitably satisfy the
customer's needs for high- quality, cost-effective logistics services. From its humble beginning,
it is now an undisputed market leader having the largest network of 57 ICDs/CFSs in India
offering scheduled and on demand rapid rail and road services between the hinderland and ports,
and between major metros.
In addition to providing inland transport by rail for containers, it has also expanded to
cover management of Ports, air cargo complexes and establishing cold-chain. It has and will
continue to play the role of promoting containerization of India by virtue of its modern rail
wagon fleet, customer friendly commercial practices and extensively used Information
Technology.
The company developed multimodal logistics support for India's International and
Domestic containerization and trade. CONCOR's core business is characterised by three distinct
activities, that of
• Carrier,
• Terminal operator
• Warehouse operator
CONCOR had been certified to ISO/IEC 27001: 2005 standard for establishing and
maintaining Information Security Management System (ISMS) for its IT functionality.
CONCOR had commissioned seven container transfer/handling facilities during the year 1990.
In addition to three ICDs at Ahmedabad, Pune & Hyderabad, two full-fledged Container Freight
Stations (CFSs) were commissioned at Moradabad and Panipat as cargo consolidation and
clearance centres with linkage to the OCD at New Delhi.
The Company had commissioned Port Side Container Terminal (PSCT) at Todiarpet in
March of the year 1991, situated in the vicinity of Chennai Harbor. A similar terminal was
commissioned at Wadi Bunder in close proximity of Mumbai Port in April of the year 1991. In
1992-93, the company achieved the first ever movement of refrigerated cargo containers by rail.
CONCOR had introduced this service to give a boost to export frozen and chilled
products. CONCOR commissioned Inland Containers Depots at Tughalakabad in Delhi and
Whitefield in Bangalore during the year 1993. In addition, the first phase of expansion and
upgradation of ICD a Tondiarpet in Chennai was commissioned and completed during the same
period. During the year 1994, the company made a small footstep as a Multi modal transport
operator and also as a consultancy organization for multi-modalism.
The Government of India disinvested 20% of its equity shares in the company. A new
CFS was commissioned in 1995 at New Mulund (Mumbai) and a new export warehouse of the
company also started at ICD, Sabarmati. In the same year CONCOR obtained approval from
World Bank to increase the quantity of wagons to be procured in the second Tranche from 750 to
1500. Scheduled reefer services between ICD Thughlakabad during the year 1996 and also in the
same period the Muboni Port was introduced.
The new ICDs were commissioned at Agra in November of the year 1996, linked with
ports directly by road ICD Tughlakabad by rail and another ICDs were commissioned at Nagpur
in January of the year1997, a rail linked with the twin ports of Mumbai and SNPT. In January of
the year 1997, the 'CONTRACK' services were launched by the company offering movement of
piecemeal domestic cargo in containers through specialized, scheduled and reliable container-rail
services.
Two new ICDs of the company were commissioned, one at Moradabad in February of
the year 1998 and the other at Malanpur/Gwalior in June of the year 1998. Second bonded
warehouse was commissioned at ICD/Whitefield. The Company had launched a daily service
between Chennai port and Whitefield ICD, Bangalore in the year 1999. During the year 2000,
CONCOR had fashioned a separate domestic division to give a major heighten to the company's
growing interest in domestic container movement.
The Company had introduced an express parcel service vans between Chennai and
Delhi. Private sector warehousing company, Continental Warehousing Corporation had entered
into a strategic alliance with CONCOR in the identical year 2000 for handling domestic cargo.
The Company had launched a fixed-day fixed-time weekly freight service between Shalimar
(Howrah)& Mumbai and Shalimar & Ahmedabad with transshipment at Nagpur during the year
2001.
CONCOR had introduced Asia's biggest ICD at Dadri in the year 2003. In the same year
the company made a tie up with Kolkata Port Trust to provide services to shippers to transport
containers using sea rail-mode between Nepal and Kolkata Dock Systems (KDS). During the
year 2004, CONCOR inked pact with Transworld to set up CFS at Dadri, forged alliance with
APL for box freight station at Dadri complex and also inked pact with APEDA for movement of
perishable goods.
A joint venture for Management and operations of Rail Container Terminal in Birgunj
(Nepal) was also finalized in form of M/s Himalayan Terminals and its was commissioned
during July of the year 2004. During the year 2004-05, the company had commissioned four
Rubber Tyred Gantry Cranes (RTG's), two at ICD/Dadri and other two at ICD/ Dandharikalan
(Ludhiana). Gateway Terminal India (Pvt) Ltd, a joint venture company of Maersk and the
company formed an arm for the construction of 3rd container terminal at JN Port, it was
commenced construction work during the year 2005-06.
CONCOR & GDL had collectively signed agreement during the year 2005 for providing
train services to transport EXIM container traffic. The Company had inked a MoU with Baxi
Group in the year 2006. During October of the year 2007, CONCOR develop an inland container
depot (ICD) at Baddi in Himachal Pradesh to facilitate the exporters of the Baddi-Barotiwala-
Nalagarh region. It will help industrialists of the region in saving the freight charges.
The Company has diversified into back-end retail in January of the year 2008 and is in
close final negotiation with Bharti-Wal-Mart to procure and supply fruit to the retailer.
CONCOR will add eight new rail-linked inland container depots (ICDs) with an investment of
Rs 3.2 billion by the end of next fiscal. The Company will have 65 depots, up from 57 at present.
The new depots were announced at Railway Budget 2008. The Company is expanding
the presence of the company in all the segments of the transport value chain in the Exim as well
as Domestic segment. Possibilities are to be explored for strategic alliances, both for optimal
utilization of infrastructure as well as expansion into other segments of the value chain.

which accounts for 65% of the total
freight traffic followed by railway which
accounts for about 30%. Due to higher
dependence on roadways, logistics
industry efficiency gets affected due to
traffic bottlenecks; delay in clearing of
trucks, etc. Thus dependency on road
makes hinterland cargo movement more
expensive and inefficient. India burns

4.7 BRIEF HISTORY OF BOSTON CONSULTANCY GROUP
The Boston Consulting Group was started up in 1963 by Bruce Henderson and from its
inception sought to establish itself in the planning and was considered the pioneer of Business
Strategy analysis. Boston Consulting Group was founded as the Management and Consulting
Division of the Boston Safe Deposit and Trust Company - a subsidiary of The Boston Company.
In 1968, The Boston Company spinned off BCG as a separate subsidiary.
In 1965 Henderson thought that to survive, much less grow, in a competitive landscape occupied
by hundreds of larger and better-known consulting firms, a distinctive identity was needed,

and pioneered "Business Strategy" as a special area of expertise for BCG.As his client list
grew, Henderson targeted the nation's best business schools. At some point he was said to
have eclipsed McKinsey as the top recruiter at Harvard, aggressively wooing its best students
with high salaries and the chance to make a difference in a cutting-edge firm. He encouraged
the brilliant young minds he hired to come up with innovative ideas that were meant to dazzle
hardened corporate veterans.
In 1973 Bill Bain and others left BCG to form Bain & Company, and two years later Henderson
arranged an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP), so that the employees could take the
company independent from The Boston Safe Deposit and Trust Company. The buyout of all
shares was completed in 1979.
In 1998 BCG created The Strategy Institute. Its purpose is to enrich the firm's strategic thinking
by applying insights from a variety of academic disciplines to the strategic challenges facing
both business and society.
The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) ranked 8th overall and first among smaller companies
in Fortune Magazine's 2007 "100 Best US Companies to Work For" survey, based on strong
employee development, a supportive culture, and progressive benefits.
4.7.1 BCG Growth-Share Matrix
In the late 1960’s a consultant for the Boston Consulting Group presented his ideas about ‘cash
deficient’ and ‘growth deficient’ businesses and the need for a balance between cash generators
and cash users.
In the late 1960’s the Boston Consulting Group developed a portfolio business model based
on this thinking. The model, the BCG matrix or growth/share matrix, was based on the Boston
Consulting Group’s knowledge and work in the area of the experience curve and of the product
life cycle and how they relate to cash generation and cash requirements.
The growth-share matrix was intended to analyse a portfolio from a corporate perspective
because it is only at that level that cash balance is meaningful. A business may, however, be
segmented further using this diagnostic tool to understand the positions of its various product
lines or market segments. This portfolio can therefore be made up of products in a multi-product
company, divisions in a multidivisional company and companies in a conglomerate.
The BCG Growth-Share Matrix is based on the observation that a company's business units can
be classified into four categories based on combinations of market growth and market share
relative to the largest competitor, hence the name "growth-share". Market growth serves as a
proxy for industry attractiveness, and relative market share serves as a proxy for competitive
advantage. The growth-share matrix thus maps the business unit positions within these two
important determinants of profitability The BCG Growth-Share Matrix positions the various
SBUs/product lines on the basis of Market Growth Rate and Market Share relative to the most
important competitor as shown below;
Relative market share
This indicates likely cash generation, because the higher the share the more cash will be
generated. As a result of 'economies of scale' (a basic assumption of the BCG Matrix), it is
assumed that these earnings will grow faster the higher the share. The exact measure is the
brand's share relative to its largest competitor. Thus, if the brand had a share of 20 percent, and
the largest competitor had the same, the ratio would be 1:1. If the largest competitor had a share
of 60 per cent, however, the ratio would be 1:3, implying that the organization's brand was in
a relatively weak position. If the largest competitor only had a share of 5 per cent, the ratio
would be 4:1, implying that the brand owned was in a relatively strong position, which might be
reflected in profits and cash flows. If this technique is used in practice, this scale is logarithmic,
not linear.
On the other hand, exactly what is a high relative share is a matter of some debate. The best
evidence is that the most stable position (at least in FMCG markets) is for the brand leader to
have a share double that of the second brand, and triple that of the third. Brand leaders in this
position tend to be very stable - and profitable.
The reason for choosing relative market share, rather than just profits, is that it carries more
information than just cash flows. It shows where the brand is positioned against its main
competitors, and indicates where it might be likely to go in the future. It can also show what type
of marketing activities might be expected to be effective.
Market growth rate
Rapidly growing brands, in rapidly growing markets, are what organizations strive for; but the
penalty is that they are usually net cash users - they require investment. The reason for this is
often because the growth is being 'bought' by the high investment, in the reasonable expectation
that a high market share will eventually turn into a sound investment in future profits. The theory
behind the matrix assumes, therefore, that a higher growth rate is indicative of accompanying
demands on investment. The cut-off point is usually chosen as 10 per cent per annum.
Determining this cut-off point, the rate above which the growth is deemed to be significant (and
likely to lead to extra demands on cash) is a critical requirement of the technique; and one that,
again, makes the use of the BCG Matrix problematical in some product areas. What is more, the
evidence, from FMCG markets at least, is that the most typical pattern is of very low growth, less
than 1 per cent per annum. This is outside the range normally considered in BCG Matrix work,
which may make application of this form of analysis unworkable in many markets.
Where it can be applied, however, the market growth rate says more about the brand position
than just its cash flow. It is a good indicator of that market's strength, of its future potential
(of its 'maturity' in terms of the market life-cycle), and also of its attractiveness to future
competitors. It can also be used in growth analysis.
Resources are allocated to business units according to where they are situated on the grid
as follows:
Dog - a business unit that has a small market share in a mature industry. A dog may not
require substantial cash because dogs have low market share and a low growth rate and thus
neither generate nor consume a large amount of cash, and dogs are cash traps because of the
money tied up in a business that has little potential and the capital that could better be deployed
elsewhere. Unless a dog has some other strategic purpose, such businesses are candidates for
divestiture, and it should be liquidated if there is little prospect for it to gain market share.
Question Mark (or Problem Child) - a business unit that has a small market share in a high
growth market. Question marks are growing rapidly and thus consume large amounts of cash,
but because they have low market shares they do not generate much cash. The result is large net
cash consumption. A question mark (also known as a "problem child") has the potential to gain
market share and become a star, and eventually a cash cow when the market growth slows. If
the question mark does not succeed in becoming the market leader, then after perhaps years of
cash consumption it will degenerate into a dog when the market growth declines. Question marks
must be analyzed carefully in order to determine whether they are worth the investment required
to grow market share.
Star - a business unit that has a large market share in a fast growing industry. Stars generate
large amounts of cash because of their strong relative market share, but also consume large
amounts of cash because of their high growth rate; therefore the cash in each direction
approximately nets out. If a star can maintain its large market share, it will become a cash cow
when the market growth rate declines. The portfolio of a diversified company always should
have stars that will become the next cash cows and ensure future cash generation. If successful, a
star will become a cash cow when its industry matures.
Cash Cow - a business unit that has a large market share in a mature, slow growing industry.
As leaders in a mature market, cash cows exhibit a return on assets that is greater than the
market growth rate, and thus generate more cash than they consume. Such business units should
be "milked", extracting the profits and investing as little cash as possible. Cash cows provide the
cash required to turn question marks into market leaders, to cover the administrative costs of the
company, to fund research and development, to service the corporate debt, and to pay dividends
to shareholders. Because the cash cow generates a relatively stable cash flow, its value can be
determined with reasonable accuracy by calculating the present value of its cash stream using a
discounted cash flow analysis. Cash cows require little investment and generate cash that can be
used to invest in other business units.

4.8 GE MATRIX FOR LOGISTICS INDUSTRY
GE / McKinsey Matrix are strategic and marketing management tool used for portfolio
analysis. Most of the time, this tool is used for analyzing the portfolio of products, services, and
strategic business units. GE Matrix is similar to BCG Matrix and it is an extension of the BCG
Matrix approach - multifactor portfolio analysis tool. The GE Matrix compares different
businesses on "Business Strength" and "Market Attractiveness" variables, plus the size of the
bubbles in the matrix represents the market size instead of business sales used in the BCG
Matrix. The share of the market or business sales vs. market size is represented as pie chart
inside the bubbles in the matrix. This allows business users to compare business strength, market
attractiveness, market size, and market share for different strategic business units (SBUs) or
different product offerings on one matrix or chart.
4.8.1 GE MATRIX - ALTERNATIVE POSITIONS & STRATEGIES
The GE / McKinsey Matrix is divided into nine cells - nine alternatives for positioning of
any SBU or product offering. Based on the strength of the business and its market attractiveness
each SBU will have a different position in the matrix. Further, the market size and the current
sales will distinguish each SBU. Based on clear understanding of all of these factors decision
makers are able to develop effective strategies.
The nine cells in the matrix can be grouped into three major segments:
Segment 1: This is the best segment. The business is strong and the market is attractive. The
company should allocate resources in this business and focus on growing the business and
increase market share.
Segment 1
Segment 2: The business is either strong but the market is not attractive or the market is strong
and the business is not strong enough to pursue potential opportunities. Decision makers should
make judgment on how to further deal with these SBUs. Some of them may consume to much
resources and are not promising while others may need additional resources and better strategy
for growth.
Segment 2
Segment 3: This is the worst segment. Businesses in this segment are weak and their market is
not attractive. Decision makers should consider either repositioning these SBUs into a different
market segment, develop better cost-effective offering, or get rid of these SBUs and invest the
resources into more promising and attractive SBUs.

expected to grow at a CAGR of 27% to Rs162-165 billion by 2013-14.
3PL penetration has been the highest in sectors such as cars and organized retail. The segment is
also gaining importance in other sectors such as IT hardware and FMCG. The share of 3PL in the
overall logistics market is expected to increase from around 1.5 - 2.0% in 2008-09 to around
3.5 – 4% by 2013-14. The benefits would accrue in the form of:
• Reduction in warehousing space requirement
• Improvement in efficiency due to better inventory management
• Reduction in transportation cost due to higher capacity utilisation
The segment is also gaining importance in other sectors such as Power, Infrastructure,IT
hardware and FMCG.
Threats - Key Challenges faced by the Indian Logistics Sector
1. Logistics has historically been a high-cost, low-margin business. The problem of organized
players is compounded by unfair competition with unorganized players, who can get away
without paying taxes and following operating norms stipulated in the Motor Vehicles Act such as
quality of drivers and vehicles, volume and weight restrictions, etc.
2. Economies of scale are absent in the Indian logistics industry. Even the organized sector
that contributes slightly more than 1% of the logistics cost, is highly fragmented. Existences of
the differential sales tax structure have brought in diseconomies of scale. Though VAT (Value
Added Tax) has been implemented since April 1, 2005, failure in implementation of a uniform
VAT structure across different states has let the problem persist even today.
3. Apart from the non-uniform tax structure, Indian LSPs have to pay numerous other taxes,
octopi, and face multiple check posts and harassment from authorities. High costs of operation
and delays involved in compliance with varying documentation requirements of different states
make the business unattractive. It is assumed that on an average, a vehicle on Indian roads loses
24-48 hours in complying with paperwork and formalities at different check posts en route to a
destination and also precious fuel is spent waiting at check posts.
4. There is lack of trust and awareness among Indian shippers with regard to outsourcing
logistics. The volume of outsourcing by Indian shippers is presently very low (~ 10%) compared
to the same for the developed countries (> 50%, sometimes as high as 80%). The unwillingness
to outsource logistics on part of Indian shippers may be attributed to scepticism about the
possible benefits, perceived risk, and losing control, of sensitive organizational information, and
vested interests in keeping logistics activities in-house.
5. Indian shippers expect LSPs to own quality assets, provide more value-added services and
act as an integrated service provider, and institute world-class information systems for more
visibility and real-time tracking of shipments. However, they are unwilling to match the same
with increased billings; even pay little attention to timely payments that leave LSPs short of
adequate working capital.
6. Indian freight forwarders face stiff competition from multi-national freight forwarders for
international freight movement. MNCs, because of their size and operations in many countries,
are able to offer low freight rates and extend credit for long periods. Indian freight forwarders, on
the other hand, because of their smaller size and lack of access to cheap capital, are not able to
match the same.
7. Poor physical and communications infrastructure is another deterrent to attracting investments
in the logistics sector. Road transportation accounts for more than 60% of inland transportation
of goods, and highways that constitute 1.4% of the total road network, carry 40% of the freight
movement by roadways. Slow movement of cargo due to bad road conditions, multiple check
posts and documentation requirements, congestion at seaports due to inadequate infrastructure,
bureaucracy, red-tapism and delay in government clearances, coupled with unreliable power
supply and slow banking transactions, make it difficult for exporters to meet the deadlines for
their international customers. To expedite shipments, they have to book as air freight, rather than
sea freight, which adds to the costs of shipments making them uncompetitive in international
markets.
8. Low penetration of IT and lack of proper communications infrastructure also result in delays,
and lack of visibility and real-time tracking ability. Unavailability and absence of a seamless
flow of information among the constituents of LSPs creates a lot of uncertainty, unnecessary
paperwork and delays, and lack of transparency in terms of cost structures and service delivery.
9. Shippers would like LSPs to offer more value-added services and a single-stop solution to
all their logistical problems. The inability of service providers to go beyond basic services and
provide value-added services such as small repair work, kitting/de-kitting, packaging/labeling,
order processing, distribution, customer support, etc. has not been able to motivate shippers to go
for outsourcing in a big way.
10. There is lack of skilled and knowledgeable manpower in the logistics sector. Management
graduates do not consider logistics as a prime job. To improve the status of the industry, service
providers have to move beyond the level of brokers and truckers to attract and retain talent.

    CHAPTER-I 1. LOGISTICS INDUSTRYIN INDIA 1.1.1 INTRODUCTION India has become the prime destination for logistics service providers all over the world. The demand for logistics services in India has been largely driven by the remarkable growth of the economy. The growth is being projected at 9-10 per cent in next few years, with the CAGR (compounded annual growth rate) expected to grow at a rate of 7-8 per cent. This growth is expected to gain greater momentum due to the exponential growth of the Indian economy. India is also experiencing a big retail boom as the buying capacity of the middle and upper middle segment of the population has scaled new heights. Many large multinationals from the retail industry are planning to set up operation in India and large local retailers are also planning to expand their operations. But with the infrastructure largely under-developed and incapable of catering to a growing economy, logistics management in India becomes too complex. The poor condition of infrastructure directly translates to higher turnover, pushing up the operating costs and reducing efficiency. There are other problems such as complex regulatory compliance and limited adoption and utilization of technology, which has resulted in increased paperwork and inability to communicate effectively with customers. In spite of dismal infrastructural scenario, the hopes of the logistics sector are kept up by the various upcoming infrastructural projects like logistics parks and hubs and other initiatives by public and private sector. The future of the logistics sector depends not only on the continued development of infrastructure but also on the capability of the service providers in adapting themselves and making optimal utilization of technology. India is emerging as one of the world’s leading consumer market with the raise of middle income group. Estimated at US$991 billion in 2020, Total consumption expenditure is expected to grow to nearly US$ 3.6 trillion in 2020. Food, housing & consumer durable and transport & communication are expected to be the top 3 categories, accounting for 65% of consumption in 2020. The FMCG sector alone is expected to grow at a base rate of 12 % annually to become an INR 4000 billion industry by 2020. The logistics sector is expected to play an important role in
  • 5.
    accessing this emergingmarket and enabling this growth. 1.1.2 INDUSTRY TRENDS Transportation: Container cargo represents only about 30% (by value) of India's external trade- much lower when compared with the global containerized cargo average of 70-75%. At a growth rate of 12%, India's container cargo traffic is estimated to reach 15 million TEUs by FY16E from about 7.5 million TEUs now (at 12 major ports). In comparison, China has created capacity at its ports to handle more than 100 million TEUs a year. Out of the 15 mn TEUs of total container traffic, we estimate Exim rail container traffic to be 5 mn TEUs by FY16E. This would be a huge opportunity and will significantly benefit container rail operators. Rising investment in the rail and port spaces also fuels growth in allied industries like wagon manufacturing, port handling equipment, railway electrification systems and construction companies. To reduce the transportation cost and for quicker movement of cargo Multimodal transport operation is introduced (MTO). MTO helps exporters with less documentation for instance single document for all modes of transport. Third Party Logistics (3PL): Outsourcing is everywhere. Logistics industry is no exception. Logistics services like transportation, warehousing, cross docking, Inventory management, packaging and freight forwarding all are part of third party logistic services. Companies in India currently outsource an estimated of 52% of logistics. And 3PL industry is estimated to be US$ 1.5bn in FY14. 3PL represents only 1% of logistics cost emphasis its significance in the industry. Future is no doubt lying in outsourcing. As the growth in the 3PL market is expected to be in the range of 25-30% CAGR over FY11-14E. As of now, the 3PL activity is limited to only few industries like automotive, IT hardware, telecom and infrastructure equipment. The organised 3PL market in India can be categorised into three major segments – public sector, private sector and foreign entrants. Some of the major players in each category are: TVS logistics, DIESL (TATA), Panalpina, TCI, Gati, Allcargo, V Trans, Total, VRL and Reliance etc.
  • 6.
    Private Participation: Theindustry is becoming more competent with the entry of global giants like Gazeley Broekmen (Wal-Mart's logistics partner), CH Robinson and Kerry logistics and large Indian corporate houses like Tata, Reliance and Bharti group. A series of mergers and acquisition like DHL acquired Blue Dart, TNT acquired Speedage Express Cargo Service and Fedex bought over Pafex, are also leading to consolidation industry at various levels and segments. Many of these companies are planning to broaden their areas of operation and are also planning to develop their own logistic parks across the country. If the trend continues as per the estimates, the market share of the organized logistics players is expected to double from 6% in 2013 to approx. 12% by 2020. Express logistics: Organised players have monopoly over the express logistics industry. 65% of express business is in the hands of organized players, while semi-organised and unorganised players accounts for 25% and the remaining 10% of the market by EMS Speed Post. But altogether different picture can be witnessed in the domestic segment. In domestic front, unorganised players hold 41% of the market share based on price advantage. While organised players accounts for 45% and EMS Speed Post the remaining 14%. Warehouses: Recently, warehouses have become key growth drivers in the logistics industry. Apart from conventional storing services, warehouses now providing value-added services like consolidation and breaking up of cargo, packaging, labelling, bar coding and reverse logistics etc. warehousing and related activities account for approx. 20% of the total logistics industry. Most of the warehousing space in India lies with unorganised players in domestic front, which is causing wide supply and demand gap in storage space. According to KPMG, an additional 120million square feet of warehousing space is needed by 2013 to bridge this gap. Currently, the organised warehousing industry in India has a capacity of approx. 80million metric tonnes and is growing at 35 to 40 per cent per annum. An investment of approximately US$ 500million is being planned by various logistics companies for the development of about 45million square feet of warehouse space by 2013.Many players in this segment such as Multi Modal Logistics Park, Mega Food Parks and Free Trade Warehousing Zones have planned next generation storage models.
  • 7.
    Logistic parks: About110 logistics parks spread over approximately 3,500 acres at an estimated cost of $1 bn are expected to be operational and an estimated 45 mn ft2 of warehousing space with an investment of $ 500 mn is expected to be developed by various logistics companies by 2020. Majority of these logistics parks are planned in close proximity to state capitals. However, availability of large land parcels at relatively low cost, connectivity to multiple markets across states and industrial clusters has led to the emergence of some tier-2 and tier-3 cities as favoured destinations for the development of logistics parks and warehouses. 1.1.3 Government Initiatives and regulations Initiatives: To emphasis the significance of transportation in logistics industry and to increase the competence in the sector government introduced private participation, especially in port sector. The major initiative in transport infrastructure is introduction of National Maritime Development Program (NMDP) with an investment of Rs 568bn. NMDP would be addressing the challenges of the growing international traffic demand of the country along with developing the port facilities at par with world standards. While liberalizing the railway services, government opened the doors of container business to the private parties. A total of 15 players immediately entered the market. FDI regulations • In general 100% FDI under the automatic route is permitted for all logistic services • FDI up to 100% subject to FIPB approval is permitted for courier services. • FDI up to 49% under the automatic route is permitted for air transport services, including air cargo services. • 100% FDI is permitted in Ports and Harbours under automatic route • 100% FDI is permitted under the automatic route for storage and warehousing including warehousing of agricultural products with cold storage.

    • 100% FDIis permitted in transport and transport support services through automatic route. 1.1.4 Indian Logistics Industry- Future Trends There have been several key indicators to the future trend in the Indian logistics sector. The demand for logistics services has been largely driven by the remarkable growth of the Indian economy. Logistics spend in India is estimated to be around 13% of the GDP, which is comparatively higher than other developed countries. The air transport sector’s contribution has been around 0.2 per cent of the country’s GDP, while the transport sector’s contribution to the GDP has been growing over the last couple of years. India’s air cargo is predicted to grow at over CAGR of 11.5 per cent in the next few years. The contribution of the marine transport sector has also been around 0.2% to the country’s GDP. The sector’s contribution to the GDP has been increasing mostly because of the growing economic developments in the country. The role of the shipping industry in the growth of Indian economy has been very significant. Major ports in India together have handled around 500 million tonnes of cargo in the past two years and this figure is growing significantly. The Indian railways has realised the necessity to improve the infrastructure provide better service. The plan to develop Logistics Parks or hubs has the potential to streamline and optimize the supply chain and reduce the costs. Currently around 80% of the goods in India move by road, the railways has to essentially devise plans to divert this traffic to the rail. India’s logistics sector attracted huge investments, leaving behind some of the major sectors including aviation, metals, and consumer durables. The growths in the retail and manufacturing industry, commodity markets and development of SEZs have
  • 9.
    been key factorsin the growth of Indian logistics industry. Recent studies have indicated that the Indian logistics industry is expected to grow annually at the rate of 15 to 20%. A number of infrastructural projects involving warehouse and logistics parks are being undertaken are expected to be operational in the next 2-3 years. The setting up special economic zones (SEZs) has led to increased logistics activities around them. Several logistics parks have come up at locations like Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai and Hyderabad because of their excellent port, rail, and road connectivity and are witnessing significant investment in infrastructure. Many of the large logistics players are in the process of setting up warehouses, container freight stations (CFS), inland container depots(ICD), logistics parks, distribution centers and other facilities to leverage the abundant opportunities. Increase in foreign trade is expected to further accelerate the demand for logistics services. The future of the Industry is very bright and is sure to witness exponential growth in the coming years. The increased participation of both public and private sector is crucial for developing logistics and improving supply chain management. Not only do the logistics companies need to create efficient business to thrive in the logistics sector, but they also need to explore ways for investing energy, costs and time to grow a strong logistics system

    Chapter- II 2. LiteratureSurvey 2.1.1 Logistics Logistics is the management of the flow of resources between the point of origin and the point of destination in order to meet some requirements, for example, of customers or corporations. The resources managed in logistics can Include physical items, such as food, materials, equipment, liquids, and staff, as well as abstract items, such as Information, particles, and energy. The logistics of physical items usually involves the integration of information flow, material handling, production, packaging, inventory, transportation, warehousing, and often security. The complexity of logistics can be modeled, analyzed, visualized, and optimized by dedicated simulation software. The minimization of the use of resources and time are common motives. 2.1.2 Origins and definition The term logistics comes from the late 19th century: from French logistique, from loger 'to lodge' Logistics is considered to have originated in the military's need to supply itself with arms, ammunition, and rations as it moved from a base to a forward position. In the ancient Greek, Roman, and Byzantine Empires, military officers with the title Logistikas were responsible for financial and supply distribution matters. The Oxford English Dictionary defines logistics as "the branch of military science relating to procuring, maintaining and transporting material, personnel and facilities." However, the New Oxford American Dictionary defines logistics as "the detailed coordination of a complex operation involving many people, facilities, or supplies", and the Oxford Dictionary online defines it as "the detailed organization and implementation of a complex operation". Another dictionary definition is "the time-related positioning of resources." As such, logistics is commonly seen as a branch of engineering that creates "people systems" rather than "machine systems". According to the Council of Logistics Management, logistics includes the integrated planning, control, realization, and monitoring of all internal and network-wide material, part, and
  • 12.
    product flow, includingthe necessary information flow, in industrial and trading companies along the complete value-added chain (and product life cycle) for the purpose of conforming to customer requirements. Logistics is the process of planning, implementing, and controlling the effective and efficient flow of goods and services from the point of origin to the point of consumption. Main logistics targets Logistics is one of the main functions within a company. The main targets of logistics can be divided into performance-related and cost-related targets. A few examples are high due date reliability, short delivery times, low inventory level, and high utilization of capacity. When decisions are made, there is a trade-off between targets. Logistics viewpoints Inbound logistics is one of the primary processes of logistics, concentrating on purchasing and arranging the inbound movement of materials, parts, and/or finished inventory from suppliers to manufacturing or assembly plants, warehouses, or retail stores. Outbound logistics is the process related to the storage and movement of the final product and the related information flows from the end of the production line to the end user. Logistics fields Given the services performed by logisticians, the main fields of logistics can be broken down as follows: • Procurement logistics • Production logistics • Distribution logistics • After sales logistics • Disposal logistics • Reverse logistics • Global logistics • Domestics logistics
  • 13.
    Procurement logistics consistsof activities such as market research, requirements planning, make-or-buy decisions, supplier management, ordering, and order controlling. The targets in procurement logistics might be contradictory: maximizing efficiency by concentrating on core competences, outsourcing while maintaining the autonomy of the company, or minimizing procurement costs while maximizing security within the supply process. Production logistics connects procurement to distribution logistics. Its main function is to use available production capacities to produce the products needed in distribution logistics. Production logistics activities are related to organizational concepts, layout planning, production planning, and control. Distribution logistics has, as main tasks, the delivery of the finished products to the customer. It consists of order processing, warehousing, and transportation. Distribution logistics is necessary because the time, place, and quantity of production differs with the time, place, and quantity of consumption. Disposal logistics has as its main function to reduce logistics cost(s) and enhance service(s) related to the disposal of waste produced during the operation of a business. Reverse logistics denotes all those operations related to the reuse of products and materials. The reverse logistics process includes the management and the sale of surpluses, as well as products being returned to vendors from buyers. Business logistics One definition of business logistics speaks of "having the right item in the right quantity at the right time at the right place for the right price in the right condition to the right customer". As the science of process, business logistics incorporates all industry sectors. Logistics work aims to manage the fruition of project life cycles, supply chains, and resultant efficiencies. Logistics as a business concept evolved in the 1950s due to the increasing complexity of
  • 14.
    supplying businesses withmaterials and shipping out products in an increasingly globalized supply chain, leading to a call for experts called "supply chain logisticians". In business, logistics may have either an internal focus (inbound logistics) or an external focus (outbound logistics), covering the flow and storage of materials from point of origin to point of consumption (see supply-chain management). The main functions of a qualified logistician include inventory management, purchasing, transportation, warehousing, consultation, and the organizing and planning of these activities. Logisticians combine a professional knowledge of each of these functions to coordinate resources in an organization. There are two fundamentally different forms of logistics: one optimizes a steady flow of material through a network of transport links and storage nodes, while the other coordinates a sequence of resources to carry out some project. Production logistics The term production logistics describes logistic processes within an industry. Production logistics aims to ensure that each machine and workstation receives the right product in the right quantity and quality at the right time. The concern is not the transportation itself, but to streamline and control the flow through value-adding processes and to eliminate non–value- adding processes. Production logistics can operate in existing as well as new plants. Manufacturing in an existing plant is a constantly changing process. Machines are exchanged and new ones added, which gives the opportunity to improve the production logistics system accordingly. Production logistics provides the means to achieve customer response and capital efficiency. Production logistics becomes more important with decreasing batch sizes. In many industries (e.g., mobile phones), the short-term goal is a batch size of one, allowing even a single customer's demand to be fulfilled efficiently. Track and tracing, which is an essential part of production logistics due to product safety and reliability issues, is also gaining importance, especially in the automotive and medical industries.

    2.2 Review ofliterature The Indian economy has been growing at an average rate of more than 8 per cent over the last four years (Srinivas, 2006) putting enormous demands on its productive infrastructure. Whether it is the physical infrastructure of road, ports, water, power etc. or the digital infrastructure of broadband networks, telecommunication etc. or the service infrastructure of logistics – all are being stretched to perform beyond their capabilities. Interestingly, this is leading to an emergence of innovative practices to allow business and public service to operate at a higher growth rate in an environment where the support systems are getting augmented concurrently. In this paper, we present the status of the evolving logistics sector in India, innovations therein through interesting business models and the challenges that it faces in years to come. Broadly speaking, the Indian logistics sector, as elsewhere, comprises the entire inbound and outbound segments of the manufacturing and service supply chains. Of late, the logistics infrastructure has received lot of attention both from business and industry as well as policy makers. However, the role of managing this infrastructure (or the logistics management regimen) to effectively compete has been slightly under-emphasized. Inadequate logistics infrastructure has an effect of creating bottlenecks in the growth of an economy, the logistics management regimen has the capability of overcoming the disadvantages of the infrastructure in the short run while providing cutting edge competitiveness in the long term. It is here that exist several challenges as well as opportunities for the Indian economy. There are several models that seem to be emerging based on the critical needs of the Indian economy that can stand as viable models for other global economies as well. Chandra and Sastry (2004) have pointed towards two key areas that require attention in managing the logistics chains across the Indian business sectors – cost and reliable value add services. Logistics costs (i.e., inventory holding, transportation, warehousing, packaging, losses and related administration costs) have been estimated at 13-14 per cent of Indian GDP which is higher than the 8 per cent of USA’s and lower than the 21 per cent of China’s GDP (Sanyal, 2006a). Service reliability of the logistics industry in emerging markets, like India, has been referred to as slow and requiring high engagement time of the customers, thereby, incurring high indirect variable costs (Dobberstein et. al, 2005).

    However, the Indianlogistics story is one with islands of excellence though there has been a general improvement on almost all parameters. It is this aspect that we explore further in this paper. The paper is organized as follows: the next section gives a brief introduction of some of the peculiarities of the Indian logistics sector.

    4.1. Container Corporationof India Limited (CONCOR) Container Corporation of India Limited (CONCOR) was set up in March of the year 1988 and commenced operation from November of the year 1989 taking over the existing network of 7 Inland Container Depots (ICDs) from the Indian Railways to profitably satisfy the customer's needs for high- quality, cost-effective logistics services. From its humble beginning, it is now an undisputed market leader having the largest network of 57 ICDs/CFSs in India offering scheduled and on demand rapid rail and road services between the hinderland and ports, and between major metros. In addition to providing inland transport by rail for containers, it has also expanded to cover management of Ports, air cargo complexes and establishing cold-chain. It has and will continue to play the role of promoting containerization of India by virtue of its modern rail wagon fleet, customer friendly commercial practices and extensively used Information Technology. The company developed multimodal logistics support for India's International and Domestic containerization and trade. CONCOR's core business is characterised by three distinct activities, that of • Carrier, • Terminal operator • Warehouse operator CONCOR had been certified to ISO/IEC 27001: 2005 standard for establishing and maintaining Information Security Management System (ISMS) for its IT functionality. CONCOR had commissioned seven container transfer/handling facilities during the year 1990. In addition to three ICDs at Ahmedabad, Pune & Hyderabad, two full-fledged Container Freight Stations (CFSs) were commissioned at Moradabad and Panipat as cargo consolidation and clearance centres with linkage to the OCD at New Delhi. The Company had commissioned Port Side Container Terminal (PSCT) at Todiarpet in March of the year 1991, situated in the vicinity of Chennai Harbor. A similar terminal was commissioned at Wadi Bunder in close proximity of Mumbai Port in April of the year 1991. In 1992-93, the company achieved the first ever movement of refrigerated cargo containers by rail. CONCOR had introduced this service to give a boost to export frozen and chilled products. CONCOR commissioned Inland Containers Depots at Tughalakabad in Delhi and Whitefield in Bangalore during the year 1993. In addition, the first phase of expansion and upgradation of ICD a Tondiarpet in Chennai was commissioned and completed during the same period. During the year 1994, the company made a small footstep as a Multi modal transport operator and also as a consultancy organization for multi-modalism.

    The Government ofIndia disinvested 20% of its equity shares in the company. A new CFS was commissioned in 1995 at New Mulund (Mumbai) and a new export warehouse of the company also started at ICD, Sabarmati. In the same year CONCOR obtained approval from World Bank to increase the quantity of wagons to be procured in the second Tranche from 750 to 1500.

Boston Consulting Group was founded as the Management and Consulting Division of the Boston Safe Deposit and Trust Company - a subsidiary of The Boston Company. In 1968, The Boston Company spinned off BCG as a separate subsidiary. In 1965 Henderson thought that to survive, much less grow, in a competitive landscape occupied by hundreds of larger and better-known consulting firms, a distinctive identity was needed, 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Aegis Logistics Allcargo Logistics Aqua Logistics Arshiya International Container Corporation of India Series 6 Series 7 Series 8 Series 9 Series 10

    and pioneered "BusinessStrategy" as a special area of expertise for BCG.As his client list grew, Henderson targeted the nation's best business schools. At some point he was said to have eclipsed McKinsey as the top recruiter at Harvard, aggressively wooing its best students with high salaries and the chance to make a difference in a cutting-edge firm. He encouraged the brilliant young minds he hired to come up with innovative ideas that were meant to dazzle hardened corporate veterans. In 1973 Bill Bain and others left BCG to form Bain & Company, and two years later Henderson arranged an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP), so that the employees could take the company independent from The Boston Safe Deposit and Trust Company. The buyout of all shares was completed in 1979. In 1998 BCG created The Strategy Institute. Its purpose is to enrich the firm's strategic thinking by applying insights from a variety of academic disciplines to the strategic challenges facing both business and society. The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) ranked 8th overall and first among smaller companies in Fortune Magazine's 2007 "100 Best US Companies to Work For" survey, based on strong employee development, a supportive culture, and progressive benefits. 4.7.1 BCG Growth-Share Matrix In the late 1960’s a consultant for the Boston Consulting Group presented his ideas about ‘cash deficient’ and ‘growth deficient’ businesses and the need for a balance between cash generators and cash users. In the late 1960’s the Boston Consulting Group developed a portfolio business model based on this thinking. The model, the BCG matrix or growth/share matrix, was based on the Boston Consulting Group’s knowledge and work in the area of the experience curve and of the product life cycle and how they relate to cash generation and cash requirements.
  • 96.
    The growth-share matrixwas intended to analyse a portfolio from a corporate perspective because it is only at that level that cash balance is meaningful. A business may, however, be segmented further using this diagnostic tool to understand the positions of its various product lines or market segments. This portfolio can therefore be made up of products in a multi-product company, divisions in a multidivisional company and companies in a conglomerate. The BCG Growth-Share Matrix is based on the observation that a company's business units can be classified into four categories based on combinations of market growth and market share relative to the largest competitor, hence the name "growth-share". Market growth serves as a proxy for industry attractiveness, and relative market share serves as a proxy for competitive advantage. The growth-share matrix thus maps the business unit positions within these two important determinants of profitability The BCG Growth-Share Matrix positions the various SBUs/product lines on the basis of Market Growth Rate and Market Share relative to the most important competitor as shown below; Relative market share This indicates likely cash generation, because the higher the share the more cash will be generated. As a result of 'economies of scale' (a basic assumption of the BCG Matrix), it is assumed that these earnings will grow faster the higher the share. The exact measure is the brand's share relative to its largest competitor. Thus, if the brand had a share of 20 percent, and the largest competitor had the same, the ratio would be 1:1. If the largest competitor had a share of 60 per cent, however, the ratio would be 1:3, implying that the organization's brand was in a relatively weak position. If the largest competitor only had a share of 5 per cent, the ratio would be 4:1, implying that the brand owned was in a relatively strong position, which might be reflected in profits and cash flows. If this technique is used in practice, this scale is logarithmic, not linear. On the other hand, exactly what is a high relative share is a matter of some debate. The best evidence is that the most stable position (at least in FMCG markets) is for the brand leader to have a share double that of the second brand, and triple that of the third. Brand leaders in this position tend to be very stable - and profitable.
  • 97.
    The reason forchoosing relative market share, rather than just profits, is that it carries more information than just cash flows. It shows where the brand is positioned against its main competitors, and indicates where it might be likely to go in the future. It can also show what type of marketing activities might be expected to be effective. Market growth rate Rapidly growing brands, in rapidly growing markets, are what organizations strive for; but the penalty is that they are usually net cash users - they require investment. The reason for this is often because the growth is being 'bought' by the high investment, in the reasonable expectation that a high market share will eventually turn into a sound investment in future profits. The theory behind the matrix assumes, therefore, that a higher growth rate is indicative of accompanying demands on investment. The cut-off point is usually chosen as 10 per cent per annum. Determining this cut-off point, the rate above which the growth is deemed to be significant (and likely to lead to extra demands on cash) is a critical requirement of the technique; and one that, again, makes the use of the BCG Matrix problematical in some product areas. What is more, the evidence, from FMCG markets at least, is that the most typical pattern is of very low growth, less than 1 per cent per annum. This is outside the range normally considered in BCG Matrix work, which may make application of this form of analysis unworkable in many markets. Where it can be applied, however, the market growth rate says more about the brand position than just its cash flow. It is a good indicator of that market's strength, of its future potential (of its 'maturity' in terms of the market life-cycle), and also of its attractiveness to future competitors. It can also be used in growth analysis. Resources are allocated to business units according to where they are situated on the grid as follows: Dog - a business unit that has a small market share in a mature industry. A dog may not require substantial cash because dogs have low market share and a low growth rate and thus neither generate nor consume a large amount of cash, and dogs are cash traps because of the money tied up in a business that has little potential and the capital that could better be deployed elsewhere. Unless a dog has some other strategic purpose, such businesses are candidates for
  • 98.
    divestiture, and itshould be liquidated if there is little prospect for it to gain market share. Question Mark (or Problem Child) - a business unit that has a small market share in a high growth market. Question marks are growing rapidly and thus consume large amounts of cash, but because they have low market shares they do not generate much cash. The result is large net cash consumption. A question mark (also known as a "problem child") has the potential to gain market share and become a star, and eventually a cash cow when the market growth slows. If the question mark does not succeed in becoming the market leader, then after perhaps years of cash consumption it will degenerate into a dog when the market growth declines. Question marks must be analyzed carefully in order to determine whether they are worth the investment required to grow market share. Star - a business unit that has a large market share in a fast growing industry. Stars generate large amounts of cash because of their strong relative market share, but also consume large amounts of cash because of their high growth rate; therefore the cash in each direction approximately nets out. If a star can maintain its large market share, it will become a cash cow when the market growth rate declines. The portfolio of a diversified company always should have stars that will become the next cash cows and ensure future cash generation. If successful, a star will become a cash cow when its industry matures. Cash Cow - a business unit that has a large market share in a mature, slow growing industry. As leaders in a mature market, cash cows exhibit a return on assets that is greater than the market growth rate, and thus generate more cash than they consume. Such business units should be "milked", extracting the profits and investing as little cash as possible. Cash cows provide the cash required to turn question marks into market leaders, to cover the administrative costs of the company, to fund research and development, to service the corporate debt, and to pay dividends to shareholders. Because the cash cow generates a relatively stable cash flow, its value can be determined with reasonable accuracy by calculating the present value of its cash stream using a discounted cash flow analysis. Cash cows require little investment and generate cash that can be used to invest in other business units.

  • 104.
    GE / McKinseyMatrix are strategic and marketing management tool used for portfolio analysis. Most of the time, this tool is used for analyzing the portfolio of products, services, and strategic business units. GE Matrix is similar to BCG Matrix and it is an extension of the BCG Matrix approach - multifactor portfolio analysis tool. The GE Matrix compares different businesses on "Business Strength" and "Market Attractiveness" variables, plus the size of the bubbles in the matrix represents the market size instead of business sales used in the BCG Matrix. The share of the market or business sales vs. market size is represented as pie chart inside the bubbles in the matrix. This allows business users to compare business strength, market attractiveness, market size, and market share for different strategic business units (SBUs) or different product offerings on one matrix or chart. 4.8.1 GE MATRIX - ALTERNATIVE POSITIONS & STRATEGIES The GE / McKinsey Matrix is divided into nine cells - nine alternatives for positioning of any SBU or product offering. Based on the strength of the business and its market attractiveness each SBU will have a different position in the matrix. Further, the market size and the current sales will distinguish each SBU. Based on clear understanding of all of these factors decision makers are able to develop effective strategies. The nine cells in the matrix can be grouped into three major segments: Segment 1: This is the best segment. The business is strong and the market is attractive. The company should allocate resources in this business and focus on growing the business and increase market share. Segment 1
  • 105.
    Segment 2: Thebusiness is either strong but the market is not attractive or the market is strong and the business is not strong enough to pursue potential opportunities. Decision makers should make judgment on how to further deal with these SBUs. Some of them may consume to much resources and are not promising while others may need additional resources and better strategy for growth. Segment 2 Segment 3: This is the worst segment. Businesses in this segment are weak and their market is not attractive. Decision makers should consider either repositioning these SBUs into a different market segment, develop better cost-effective offering, or get rid of these SBUs and invest the resources into more promising and attractive SBUs.

The segment is also gaining importance in other sectors such as IT hardware and FMCG. The share of 3PL in the overall logistics market is expected to increase from around 1.5 - 2.0% in 2008-09 to around 3.5 – 4% by 2013-14. The benefits would accrue in the form of: • Reduction in warehousing space requirement • Improvement in efficiency due to better inventory management
  • 109.
    • Reduction intransportation cost due to higher capacity utilisation The segment is also gaining importance in other sectors such as Power, Infrastructure,IT hardware and FMCG. Threats - Key Challenges faced by the Indian Logistics Sector 1. Logistics has historically been a high-cost, low-margin business. The problem of organized players is compounded by unfair competition with unorganized players, who can get away without paying taxes and following operating norms stipulated in the Motor Vehicles Act such as quality of drivers and vehicles, volume and weight restrictions, etc. 2. Economies of scale are absent in the Indian logistics industry. Even the organized sector that contributes slightly more than 1% of the logistics cost, is highly fragmented. Existences of the differential sales tax structure have brought in diseconomies of scale. Though VAT (Value Added Tax) has been implemented since April 1, 2005, failure in implementation of a uniform VAT structure across different states has let the problem persist even today. 3. Apart from the non-uniform tax structure, Indian LSPs have to pay numerous other taxes, octopi, and face multiple check posts and harassment from authorities. High costs of operation and delays involved in compliance with varying documentation requirements of different states make the business unattractive. It is assumed that on an average, a vehicle on Indian roads loses 24-48 hours in complying with paperwork and formalities at different check posts en route to a destination and also precious fuel is spent waiting at check posts. 4. There is lack of trust and awareness among Indian shippers with regard to outsourcing logistics. The volume of outsourcing by Indian shippers is presently very low (~ 10%) compared to the same for the developed countries (> 50%, sometimes as high as 80%). The unwillingness to outsource logistics on part of Indian shippers may be attributed to scepticism about the possible benefits, perceived risk, and losing control, of sensitive organizational information, and vested interests in keeping logistics activities in-house. 5. Indian shippers expect LSPs to own quality assets, provide more value-added services and act as an integrated service provider, and institute world-class information systems for more visibility and real-time tracking of shipments. However, they are unwilling to match the same with increased billings; even pay little attention to timely payments that leave LSPs short of adequate working capital.

    6. Indian freightforwarders face stiff competition from multi-national freight forwarders for international freight movement. MNCs, because of their size and operations in many countries, are able to offer low freight rates and extend credit for long periods. Indian freight forwarders, on the other hand, because of their smaller size and lack of access to cheap capital, are not able to match the same. 7. Poor physical and communications infrastructure is another deterrent to attracting investments in the logistics sector. Road transportation accounts for more than 60% of inland transportation of goods, and highways that constitute 1.4% of the total road network, carry 40% of the freight movement by roadways. Slow movement of cargo due to bad road conditions, multiple check posts and documentation requirements, congestion at seaports due to inadequate infrastructure, bureaucracy, red-tapism and delay in government clearances, coupled with unreliable power supply and slow banking transactions, make it difficult for exporters to meet the deadlines for their international customers. To expedite shipments, they have to book as air freight, rather than sea freight, which adds to the costs of shipments making them uncompetitive in international markets. 8. Low penetration of IT and lack of proper communications infrastructure also result in delays, and lack of visibility and real-time tracking ability. Unavailability and absence of a seamless flow of information among the constituents of LSPs creates a lot of uncertainty, unnecessary paperwork and delays, and lack of transparency in terms of cost structures and service delivery. 9. Shippers would like LSPs to offer more value-added services and a single-stop solution to all their logistical problems. The inability of service providers to go beyond basic services and provide value-added services such as small repair work, kitting/de-kitting, packaging/labeling, order processing, distribution, customer support, etc. has not been able to motivate shippers to go for outsourcing in a big way. 10. There is lack of skilled and knowledgeable manpower in the logistics sector. Management graduates do not consider logistics as a prime job. To improve the status of the industry, service providers have to move beyond the level of brokers and truckers to attract and retain talent.
