WAREHOUSE CONCEPT WRONG ????


Warehouse why its reqd ?

  1. Bulk Breaking
  2. Uncertain high in sales forecast
  3. Stock reqd in case of emergency

But Why

Only reqd is proper planning.

Lets take a example

Small amount of materials reqd
Answer :- PTL service is there

Need to distribute to large no of retailers
Answer :- B to B service provider is there

Seasonal Product
Answer :- Make good Super stockiest who can lift the materials

Uncertain Sales
Answer :- Look after the competitor , or wrong planning, if monopoly customer need to wait.

Bulk Breaking
 Answer :- Transporter warehouse ids there.

Need to store for few days
Answer :- Give detention, materials at vehicle only


I am not against warehousing concept, nurture all alternative before indulging one

Warehouse can lead to

  1. FIFO mismatch
  2. Extra rental cost
  3. Extra manpower cost
  4. Theft / pilferage
  5. Handling inefficiency leading to product damage
  6. Extra insurance coverage
  7. Electricity, local issue, license etc

Think once warehousing might not be a solution, its might be a headache.

DIRECT TO CUSTOMER

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...

Wave Theory Supply Chain

 Weave theory is a theory of business development on the aspect of Supply Chain. Wave theory suggest that to establish a operation you need to engulf a model from the nearest support.
