Executive Summary

The perfect supply chain operations involve adequate flow of material/goods. This continuous flow is from supplier through production to consumer. This supply chain department has to keep coordination in between various departments to maintain the perfect planning and controlled material flow. It takes care of production planning, supply and the deployment together with the other responsibility and thus has to be concerned with the other responsibilities and thus has to be concerned with the planning for safety stocks at plants and the warehouses so that they can have the flexibility and optimality in the approach.

There is only one manufacturing unit along with head office in Mumbai. There are 7 distribution warehouses all over India, 2 in each Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore, 1 in Kolkata which supports logistic operations in 150 towns. With this network and uncertainty in demand a perfect production plan is required considering safety stocks to avoid stock outs.

The project is to suggest improvements in the production process to increase productivity and prepare a production plan considering past sales using appropriate forecasting method.
