Logistics

Logistics is a part of supply chain management which deals with the inwarding and outwarding of goods and non saleable item as well RECEPTION OF GOODS FROM DC As soon as the goods are received they are checked by the seal condition and number as mentioned in the gate pass or delivery note Then the security in the logistics room will check for the no. of cartons Then the particular department is informed regarding the reception of goods

Few cases in which out warding is done

Warehousing

In terms of internal communication, the warehouses of different Big Bazaars (different locations around India) are connected with each other Whereas the individual Big Bazaar outlets coordinate with their warehouses for daily stock requirements In situations where a Big Bazaar finds shortage in any of the stocks, it uses the internal IS connected through LAN to intimate its warehouse The warehouse supplies the required stock and keeps its own stock also in check. Warehouses utilize a REM (retail enterprise management) system to facilitate this process

Warehousing Cont..

The stocks are coded for simplicity and the garments are coded using a 14 digit number. while the stocks purchased from vendors use an alpha numeric system beginning with two alphabets (namely LP Local Purchase, OA for on approval and VC for vendor consignment) followed BY 10 digits. Each of the warehouses can order their stock in three ways . (i) Through the headquarters. (ii) Through another Big Bazaar warehouse (iii)Directly from their supplier. However, the delivery challans will be stacked and sent to the HQ every month thus keeping the purchases in check. The warehouses communicate to each other on a weekly basis to exchange their stock related information.

Functions of Warehousing- Stockpiling

SWOT Analysis : Big Bazaar SCM


Strengths
Variety of formats supporting each other - Better understanding of Indian suppliers

Weaknesses - SCM in real sense yet to evolve


- Push mechanism in ordering - Least focus on quality

Opportunities

Threats

- Organized retail growing at >20% CAGR


- Growing preference to organised shopping - Exponentially growing Indian middle class

- Competitors like Wal-Mart and Carrefore


- Government policies - Unorganized retail

Limitations

Significant losses/damages during shipping

Inadequate infrastructure
Warehouses located far from city

Conclusion : Big Bazaar Supply Chain


1. The Big Bazaar distribution centres act as warehouses alone, unlike Wal-Mart where these centres act as developers of suppliers. 2. There is no pull mechanism in order-generation and it depends largely on the decisions by individual category managers on weekly basis whereas in Wal-Mart, it is a daily pull mechanism based on store consumption.

Recommendations

Warehouse location

Improvement in packaging
Stock Control and minimization of excess stock Infrastructure Cross docking of finished goods should be done
