As a company’s business drivers change, business processes, SCM technology investment and the overall approach to supply chain management must change and keep pace with the current market scenarios. Nowadays, demanding consumers are causing changes in how shippers and supply chain providers work together. In the past, consumers have had very little or no influence at all on the supply chain because they were oblivious of what it was. A consumer would order an item but could have no clue where it is made or who makes it or even when to expect the delivery. However, today’s consumers are though indirectly, but actively involved in the creation of the supply chain. Order Tracking: Consumers today are actively involved in each process of the supply chain activity. With the ability to track orders, consumers expect more from their suppliers. Order tracking allows the customer to gain insight into where their order is at any given point of time. From the time an order is placed until it is delivered, the customer wants to know everything. Answering the customer requires visibility across multiple processes and systems. Companies must pay more attention to their supply chain and quickly solve any shortcomings that could possibly delay the delivery time. Whether it’s for a manufacturer or distributor, order accuracy is positively impacted by order tracking. Customers are easily able to double-check orders as they move through the fulfillment process, in many cases allowing them to catch mistakes before orders are shipped or order alternative items when a desired item is out of stock or backordered. Sustainability: Consumer demand for more sustainable business practices can have significant supply chain implications. For instance, mobile phone purchasers may typically consider four key factors into consideration when buying a new phone: the desire to upgrade, the need to stay within a budget, the durability of the product and environmental sustainability. Consumers today are willing to pay more money for a product they consider to be more sustainably efficient. Supply Chain players should therefore focus more on making their supply chain environmentally sustainable to attract these group of customers. Companies that have a pro-environmental view need to be ready to take responsibility and to move towards sustainable business practices. Consumers’ interest towards recycling and sustainable solutions has increased. They appreciate the idea of recycling waste to produce something new; circular products have become “the new normal”. Consumers are asking for more visible and concrete information about how the products that they are using has affected the environment. Increasing Customer Satisfaction: Understanding consumer trends and order histories serve as a sort of blueprint when companies need to make decisions about how to boost sales. Instead of guessing, one can make informed planning based on actual data and trends. That includes keeping accurate inventory, even during the busiest periods. Maintaining stocked shelves so as not to miss out on sales opportunities. Distributors and suppliers must innovate and optimize every step of the shipping process to meet consumer expectations. Understanding consumer trends and demands helps the networks to increase business efficiency and eliminate customer pain points by integrating new supply chain activities to ensure overall customer satisfaction. Evolving Customer Channels: The ongoing shift away from traditional retail to direct-to-consumer(DTC) shipping is rapid. 40% of brands now sell directly to the consumer. The DTC sales are projected to reach around $130 billion by 2025. Supply chain players should therefore focus on reorganization of the supply chains. They should emphasize on providing a Unified Brand Experience i.e., creating a DTC model that gives full control of the brand and develop direct engagement with customers to gain real time feedback and optimize supply chain accordingly. Selling DTC allows you to collect first-hand data and own it to focus on improving customer experience. A global sports accessories brand is focusing on its DTC channel and aims to reach $16 billion through the DTC channel by 2020 (a whopping rise of more than 140 percent from 2015). By choosing the right systems, approaches, and partners within the supply chain, companies are providing the customers with great service, transparency, and visibility they desire. Having an efficient supply chain means one can beat the competitors on price and improve profitability. Having high performing operations means one can meet or exceed the customers’ expectations on delivery of the product. The relationship between Customers and supply chain players have created a network to incorporate individual components of the supply chain into an interconnected web that enables seamless information transfer and support, thus providing opportunities to improve bottom lines and provide exceptional experiences to consumers. At Radhakrishna Foodland, we strive to provide accurate demand planning, forecasting and inventory solutions by analyzing historic demand, historic sales and trends in consumption pattern to help reduce the pressure to match stock to anticipated sales as accurately as possible and inculcate greater transparency in all supply chain operations.

With the advent of 2022, we are all gearing up for changes, as individuals and as organizations. Reformed environmental standards for all industries, COVID-19 management, and the rise of enhanced technologies capable of bolstering supply chains are among the few revolutions we can expect.While many food supply chain experts are contemplating what they want to bring to the new year and what they’re ready to leave behind, here are ten resolutions to assist food brands in developing the supply chains of the future. 1. Plan and Play Smart The pandemic showed us the fragility of the supply chains. Food brands reinvented their business models and went online to serve their customers. They had to find a way that required to address the fluctuations in demand and supply. Supply chains need real-time visibility to plan scenarios, optimize inventories, be pro-active to change and to make decisions. 55.73% of supply chain professionals are willing to invest in production planning and demand forecasting according to research by finance online in 2021. Integrated Demand Planning ensures real-time supply chain planning from sales and operations planning to forecast, demand response. 2. Invest in Employee Safety Workplace health and safety policies help firms grow by retaining productive and qualified employees. It also provides a contingency plan for workforce assurance that can otherwise cause supply chain disruptions. Every organization must prioritize its people in order to maintain consistent growth. According to data provided by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, employers who establish employee safety programs are able to reduce costs related to injury and workplace illness costs by 20 to 40 percent. The key to ensuring worker safety is to minimize hazards and providing an environment that places high importance to healthy practices and enabling employees to easily avail medical facilities. 3. Gain visibility to strengthen the value chain According to a survey covered by finance online, 40.02% of supply chain professionals want to invest in real-time supply chain visibility. Having visibility across the entire supply chain helps businesses to understand and convey information seamlessly both internally and externally. To achieve 360-degree real-time visibility, extended communication and collaboration network between departments, third-party providers and manufacturers can help firms improve process transparency, make quick decisions, and increase customer satisfaction. Collaboration is the key to strengthen supply chain visibility. 4. Contribute towards a sustainable world Businesses have acknowledged the value of environmentally friendly ecosystems. This means designing biodegradable products and packaging, sourcing resources responsibly from social and humanitarian groups, ensuring minimal waste and environmental impact, reducing mileage, emissions, and carbon footprint through logistics along with operating assets and equipment in an environmentally and worker-friendly manner. Sustainability necessitates cross-partner collaboration and strong visibility. To keep up with the changes, firms need a sustainable partner that can collaborate in building this ecosystem across the supply chain. 5. Introduce automation to the supply chain The food supply chain generates a lot of data that can be used to improve operations and the customer experience. AI is designed to handle complicated processes quickly, such as inventory and route. With AI projecting future demand, food brands can better match demand with capacity, lowering the cost of shortages and overages. Machine Learning can improve demand planning by increasing forecast accuracy. This will help Food brands optimize inventories and minimize safety stock, increasing cash flow.
As a continuation of our earlier article, we are sharing the last five resolutions guide food brands in stringing together strategy to create the supply chain of the future. 6. Evaluate your strengths and weaknesses The supply chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Identifying areas for improvement can be challenging, without access to precise real-time and historical data. By implementing automated, supply chain solutions, businesses can achieve granular visibility. That would mean segmenting the supply chain to extract and analyze accurate data from various segments within the supply chain like warehousing or transportation to identify its pain points that need addressing. Evaluation as a process helps to strengthen the end-to-end fulfillment strategy while saving businesses time and money. 7. Simplify the supply chain design A convoluted supply chain can mean that there are more potential for things to go wrong. Food brands with diverse suppliers and processes runs the danger of losing focus causing delays in sourcing, manufacturing, and transportation. Supply chain complexity is one of the major issues firms confront, according to Michigan State University research. Operating in various consumer markets involves numerous suppliers, which means more workflows, regulatory requirements, and vulnerable links. Supply chains can easily become entangled and convoluted, undermining efficiency. Businesses should analyze the entire supply chain to see where it may be simplified. Simplifying procedures can lead to cost savings, increased efficiency, and higher product quality. A lean supply chain is better prepared to deal with unexpected challenges. Its processes frequently improve overall performance, quality, reduces expenses, and increases responsiveness. A high-level audit of operations will reveal areas for improvement, resulting in shorter lead times and lower prices. Technology can help firms manage supply chain issues and streamline operations. Combining these factors can lead to happier consumers, which is the goal of every food brand. 8. Increase Transparency to save costs Transparency extends beyond supply chain visibility, as confirmed by a Harvard Business Review report that reveals cost reductions of up to 20%. To better understand supply chain participants and threats, organizations can now use internal and external data sources. Mobile technology can track compliance or employment data instead of on-site or third-party audits. Additionally, they can track supplies from their point of origin to the producer, and then the finished products from the manufacturer to the end consumer, assisting in the confirmation of quality and preventing fraud. While transparency can educate and engage clients it can also be used to reveal potential operational changes, promote good corporate responsibility, strengthen brands, and mitigate future events. 9. Transform digitally Supplier technology helps food brands build a future-ready supply chain while boosting accuracy, compliance, and visibility. Analytics can help organizations identify market patterns and forecast future demand. Business risks can also be addressed to ensure business continuity and provide end-to-end visibility. According to Forbes, 50% of organizations feel technology has a significant impact on supply chain, logistics, and transportation operations. Digital supply chains rely on ubiquitous data access. They can boost dependability, agility, and efficiency by facilitating cross-platform cooperation and communication. Traditional supply chains must adapt to new digital realities or risk being left behind. A digital operational model incorporates digital capabilities across governance, processes, data management, and IT that enables process integration and standardization. 10. Consider working with a specialist Before assembling a team to fill in the gaps, it is critical to understand the supply chain constraints. Consultants help negotiate the existing supply chain network’s uncertainty. They can help with supply chain technology, 3PL and 4PL outsourcing, warehouse and transportation management, network analysis, Lean distribution, and more. Food brands should consider collaborating with a supply chain specialist who can build a fit-to-purpose business strategy to reduce total value chain costs while improving the performance of the supply chain and manufacturing and distribution costs. According to a report by the UK-based market research firm Technavio, the 3PL market in India is poised to grow by US$10.74 billion in the period 2021-2025, progressing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of almost 8%. Because supply chains are so complicated and unique to each business, consultants can assist uncover gaps between business strategy and supply chain design. A consultant can help traverse the stages and provide guidance to ensure the successful implementation of a supply chain relationship. As we transition into the new year we can together look forward to the challenges and changes the new year brings by embracing these 10 resolutions offered to help supply chains prepare for a productive and efficient year.

Supply chain sustainability has been building up steam in recent years, as consumers are becoming more environmentally conscious and are expecting businesses to do the same. A growing number of companies are looking to build sustainability into their supply chain operations as it has direct impact on the environment as they try to compete with a growing consumer base. It is widely established that sustainable business can equate to profitable business. So, how can a sustainable supply chain benefit your business? Reputation Ensuring that companies focus on the planet along with their profits makes good business sense and enhances their reputation as a sustainable company. Profitability Thinking sustainably will help drive down costs and reduce expenditure in the long run, which will further help towards increasing the profitability of the firm. Innovation Establishing a sustainable supply chain enables companies to work with partners who provide environmental friendly products and services that foster innovation. There is no quick and easy path to sustainability, but the right solutions can help achieve a defined sustainable supply chain. Companies tend to account for waste and activity at every stage as part of their overhead. Therefore, having a comprehensive understanding of how sustainability impacts every unit of business including the supply chain is essential. An early step is to evaluate inventory suppliers, identify the most significant environmental and social challenges and then to prioritize efforts. Establishing and communicating expectations through a code of conduct is a critical step in involving every unit in the sustainability efforts. Simplifying procedures and eliminating wasteful practices contributes substantially in improving supply chain efficiency and reducing waste. It is important to focus on small, iterative improvements along with major changes to bring simplicity in the processes. Every change that reduces waste, speeds up delivery or enhances quality makes an incremental improvement to sustainability. Misalignment between supply and demand results in too much or too little production of raw materials, manufacturing of goods and distribution of products. This creates rework and excessive inventory which is a massive source of waste. Lead times are one of the greatest areas of waste within a company that should be controlled through process improvement. Good predictive analytics combined with machine learning can forecast likely demand and ensure more efficient supply and manufacturing processes. The warehouse is an important component of efficient sustainable supply chains. When it comes to creating sustainable value, there are several practices that warehouses can implement such as automating both warehouse solutions and management processes, increasing energy efficiency within a warehouse, and optimizing warehouse design. Some practices like smartly located inventory which can bolster efficiency and productivity or use of electric forklifts which eliminate the need for gas and oil in warehouse operations can revolutionize the way how companies adopt green approach to procurement and warehouse management. Route optimization as well as using renewable fuels considerably helps to reduce the environmental impact of transportation and distribution. Artificial intelligence can work with GPS devices to optimize shipping routes. Advanced analytics can even help update routes in real time, to take account of congestion and other issues. Through our expertise, we, at Radhakrishna Foodland have helped a leading QSR chain to tackle the problem of disposing off used cooking oil by converting it into biodiesel and used it in vehicles for transportation to stores. This helped the QSR chain to reduce misuse of used cooking oil as well as air pollution during transportation. The environment friendly solution added credibility to the brand and enhanced its brand image.
Companies and supply chain partners can create a highly competitive environment, by working closely together. The selection of the right partner is crucial as changing providers are cumbersome, costly and requires significant effort and can lead to costly inefficiencies. But how does one identify that the SCM partners are capable of such collaborations and possess the horsepower needed to push the organization forward? The choice is routinely based on factors such as cost, volume, and location, but assessing supply chain partnership performance is gaining strategic importance. 1. How is the operational performance of the SCM partner? SCM partners must have proper demand, sourcing and procurement, production, and logistics process management. Supply chain partners must be evaluated on the supply chain KPIs. “On time In Full (OTIF)” deliveries help to measure the efficiency and accuracy of delivery or logistics in the supply chain. It facilitates better collaboration with customers, ensures reliability of delivery and gain customer loyalty. The “Order fill rates” determines how one is managing the inventory levels efficiently to avoid stock-outs. Line item fill rates (LIFR) and inventory days are other essential indicators of how well the business can meet customer demands. 2. How is their technological competence? Higher technical Competence is crucial while looking for right SCM partners for continuous improvements, network optimization, demand and supply efficiency, flow of information, visibility, and data-driven analysis. For instance, a leading retailer adopted high-tech consolidation centers that utilized automated technology to enable increased volume and improve on-time-in-full delivery performance. With world-class logistic technology, the facility plans to be the most efficient consolidation center in the retailer’s supply chain. Partnering with Supply chain players with concrete IT infrastructure enables companies to gain an edge in the market and increase performance efficiency. 3. Do they provide integrated end-to-end services? An integrated framework is essential to tie the whole network together to reduce perennial supply chain challenges such as functional silos, poor transparency of knowledge and information and the inadequate formation of relationships. Supply chain partners providing Integrated services creates value through end-to-end supply chain solutions rather than a collection of functions which operate separately. 4. Do they foster innovation? Like all parts of business, new technologies, new processes, and new ways of thinking will make SCM partners stronger, more efficient, and more powerful. When supply chain partners are attuned in this way, they are much more effective at discovering and applying innovations that enhance competitiveness. The right supply chain partner must breed innovation right from streamlining processes, identifying new opportunities, and creating better ways to accomplish tasks for better partnerships. An e-commerce giant announced that the company was developing a drone-based delivery system that would be delivering products in locations within 10 miles of its distribution centers within just 30 minutes or less and would self-destruct during flight, if required, to keep people safe. The firm is doing everything possible to leverage latest supply chain innovations to maintain its place as the clear market leader. 5. How strong is their learning dimension? It is essential to choose supply chain partners who are adaptable and compatible in every aspect of business. Exploration, assimilation, and learning will assure a smooth functioning supply chain. Selecting partners with the ability and willingness to learn, and who want to create synergies will have a positive impact on performance measures and being a more market‐focused supply chain. 6. What are their organization values, culture, and strategies? How compatible the two organizations are in terms of fair dealing norms such as transparency in sharing production and scheduling data, flexibility, mutuality, or openness, can definitively help working relationships to endure. It helps to tightly align with the business strategy, making decisions that will accelerate growth and performance. It is essential that SCM partners understand the values, cultures, and strategies of companies for long term relationships.
