GREEN SUPPLY CHAIN








The topic now a days is very hot due to global warming, carbon foot print etc.

It doesn’t mean only writing or spreading message like “ Save Paper Save Trees “ will get effect.

1.       Every goods traveled, a hard copy invoice, Lr, E Waybill will be there.
2.       Goods vehicle traveled on non-renewal resources so pollution will be there.

So what to do

  1. Give stress on pollution checking paper of vehicle at the time of loading, if the same is not ok refuse to give load.
  2. Avoid packing materials in plastics or use of biodegradable plastics if necessary
  3. Give stress on E receiving for transportation bill, at least some paper can get saved.
  4. Ask the vehicle at the time of loading to emphasis on Fast Tag not on toll slip, a vehicle move long distance, every place a toll slip save paper.
  5. Change mode of transportation via train
  6. Short distance send materials via cycle van if possible.
  7. Avoid triple ( Plastic cover ) on vehicle, give stress on container movement.
  8. Avoid shrink wrap of materials with plastics.
  9. Avoid tagging via plastic like materials use metal strip instead.
  10. Check vehicle at the time of loading, so pollution while travelling will be less.
  11. Ask driver to avoid using plastics bottle & plates .


Think Green . A little way the savings can get started, Start the initiative

DIRECT TO CUSTOMER

 In the ERA of Covid 19 pandemic, business down, people at home so all we need to think about some different structure altogether. I am working in Cake and Bakery unit, people will consume, but how the product will get cater to customer point directly. The solution we have arrived is to tie up with various courier service, For Ex :- Letter gets delivered then why not materials. If we get registered our product into any modern trade format 25% - 30% margin need to be assured from MRP + freight + Distribution cost. Altogether calculate and spend the money for courier service. Its the fact very low val sku might not get delivered but make a bundle pack, special packaging with a bubble pack and the materials ready to travel. People will go to the website and place the order, prepaid and just need to inform a courier . Materials will get picked from warehouse end get delivered. Benefit we can reach customer to every point of the nation, and digital marketing reqd to promote the same onl...

Supply Chain Gap

  Supply Chain Gap , the materials are not available. Its not easier to found, I am stating the materials not available at retailers point, so in a country like India with so many diversity , its not easy to found the gap. A new way to found the same, develop a APP in Google store or Apple Store. Ask all the employee to download the same, a facility included in app, shoot a video for 30 sec, with GPS location and upload if the competitor are present in the same place or a prospective one for future. Its a way to share idea among the organization. The notification will go to the concern person , the concern need to go to the place and close the issue. After closing, the person raise the issue will get a complementary reward . The small incentive will boost the moral , and the way to close the gap is done, in future if the same persist then some action need to taken, a classic example of Bullwhip effect.  Think in some holistic way.

  Export   On the topic, I have a business idea. Export for a general Indian company, people get feared 1.  Not known about the buyer 2. Not known about the export paperwork 3. Not known on a single SKU a volume order will not come  4. Buyer do not want to buy a large same product. 5. Registration on advertisement website to promote with some licenses. Solutions can be 1. A logistic company do have his own vehicle  2. A warehouse 3. A custom clearance agent Connect to Buyer and offer them a basket, Collect materials from various company, make a basket and aggregator can solve the same.
