In addition to the above idea, some retailers are raising the bar on how responsive an FMCG supply chain needs to be. As goods quickly move off store shelves, retailers are demanding fast replenishment by the FMCG supplier. By identifying daily or...

THE significance of product tracking and recall could not have been emphasised more - even as the consumer grapples with issues such as worm-infested chocolates or pesticide-laced soft drinks. And it is precisely such supply chain management-related issues that would be addressed at the third ECR India Conference to be hosted at Chennai on Thursday, where insights developed by ECR India, along with a host of fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) majors, would be showcased to enable retailers and manufacturers to fulfil the consumer's demands. Efficient Consumer Response (ECR) is a global movement in the FMCG industry with a focus on supply chain management. In India ECR was founded in 1999 by c...

The success of the todays business is defined in terms of the accuracy, speed and action of the business processess. Particularly when we are talking of the retailing sector dealing with the cinsumer goods, accuracy plays the vital role. There should be the avaliability of right product, at right place , during the right time and at the lowest possible cost. It is not an easy task to mantain highly efficient supply chain, which forms the backbone of every retailing process. FMCG products form the major portion of comsumer goods, so you should have an appropriate idea of inventory management and shelf lives of waider product categries, so your stocking movements should be timely and accurat...

Vegetarians will develop less blood, bladder and stomach cancer than meat eaters, according to new research published in the British Journal of Cancer. The grouping of two studies featured more than 61,000 vegetarians over a timespan of 12 years and found they contracted less cancer, independent of factors such as smoking, alcohol use and obesity than those who consumed meat or fish or both. Differences in stomach and bowel cancer rates were not as pronounced as may have been expected given previous research and indeed, vegetarians had slightly higher, but not significantly so, rates of colon and rectum cancer. Cervical cancer rates were twice that of meat-eaters among vegetarians. Breast a...

What is stopping you from getting what you want in life? Your friends? Your family? A sense that failure – or success – might change your life and that feeling uncomfortable? A sense that the people around you might disapprove of you aiming for what you want, of you succeeding or failing. Essentially it boils down to fear. The big roadblock, sometimes the massive wall in the middle of road that keeps you from getting what you want. How to overcome it? Here´s some useful ways I have found so far. 1. Taking small steps This is good for fear that can seem overwhelming at first. For instance the strong feeling – it can almost feel like a flight or fight-response – just before doing public speaking or asking someone out for a date. If you´re for instance nervous socially you might not feel able to ask people out on dates right away. The fear of being rejected and that others might think less of you if you get turned down can make many of us feel unable to ask the question. A solution...

There are many messages which make rounds for years via various network and still have 0 % truth in them. Few of the facts which need to be circulated are : 1 . This message is for all those who have been posting on their walls and in all the communities , sending via sms and mailing that 1098 picks up wasted food. THEY DO NOT! http://www.childlineindia.org. in/ You can see they themselves have denied this on their official website. Please spread this message and check out the website to know the other ways through which you can help. 2. If writing on Rupee note was going to be such a huge issue that it will cost Rs 2638 Cr loss per year to Indian Govt than the Govt would have issued this in public interest in all the newspapers and it would have been on tv, radio everywhere..But you will find this only on fb and sms.. Stay away from fake updates use your common sense. 3.Mr Prakash Bajaj is NOT the editor of TOI! He wrote a letter and there are so many points raised which are...

The word 'Push' has traditionally characterized FMCG sales systems in India. This is changing for the better in many ways. Sales in many companies like HLL, Marico and Colgate is secondary driven. Let me explain this to a reader who is new to sales jargons. Secondary driven basically means that retail orders to the distributor (secondary sale), which are a function of sales from the retail shelf(offtakes), determine the volume of primaries (billing from the company to the distributors - primary sale). In traditional sales systems the disproportionately high targets were driven by billing high volume of stocks to the distributors (primaries) without there being an adequate movement of stock from the distributor point to the trade (secondaries). This system worked as long as the brands has a demand (pull) that was proportionate to this loading. However in case of inadequate offtakes, this extra stock used to lie at the distributor point or die in the shelves of the retailer. In case...
