It is a case study. I posted this,because In this platform lot of experince people are giving their views. So I thought, it is the better place to discuss about Case studies also. Beacuse No case study have a right or wrong answer. By discussion we chose the best option. SO I Started this case study discussion.
As a advisor what will be your Suggestions??
What will be the best option for supply chain??
Note: One can take any assumption and can give the suggestions (But assumption should be written here. )
Yes Ajit you are right having a big space for warehousing would surely be easier to replenish the stock timely
when you talking about the supply chain there is 2 major things 1 is the time management and the other is space utilization, as having a big space for warehousing it would be easier to replanish the stock timely , customer satisfation is the just the stock availibility on time.
hope it will help in some way of case study, i think this is the wonderful oppurtunity for any organisation to implement LEAN process and also helps to reduce inventory/WIP.there can be multiple usage of space available for eg.FG godown, Vendor Managed logistics,customer goods etc.
