 1. INTRODUCTION

Logistics typically refers to activities that occur within the boundaries ofa single organization and

Supply Chain refers to networks of companiesthat work together and coordinate their actions to

deliver a product to market. Also, traditional logistics focuses its attention on activities such as

procurement, distribution, maintenance, and inventory

management. Supply Chain Management (SCM) acknowledges all of traditional logistics and also

includes activities such as marketing, new product development, finance, and customer service" -

from Essential ofSupply Chain Management by Michael Hugos.

LOGISTICS:

Logistics is about getting the right product, to the right customer, in theright quantity, in the

right condition, at the right place, at the right time, and at the right cost (the seven Rs of

Logistics)" - from Supply Chain Management: A Logistics Perspective By John J. Coyle

"Logistics Management deals with the efficient and effective management of day-to-day activity in

producing the company's finishedgoods and services" - from Integral Logistics Management by Paul

Schönsleben.

called "supplier facing function". Production planning and inventory control function is the center

point of this chart

Customer service and transport function communicates with customers and sometimes called

"customer facing functions.

Transport and Logistics: refers to 2 types of activities, namely, transportation (traditional

services such as air/sea/land transportation, warehousing, customs clearance) and logistics (value-

added services which including information technology and consulting)"

  Logistics in India

Logistics is the one of the overwhelming business today. No publicizing, assembling or chore

execution can win without logistics bolster. Logistics coordination is fundamental in India because

of the country's size, topography, masses assortment, common also man-made disasters et cetera.

The vehicle offices are deficient in India and streets are dreadful. India does not have an inside and

out made street framework and conduits are up 'til now unexploited. As a result of competition,

globalization also data availability, Logistics coordinations has additional centrality. In the first

place: the days are gone when a producer had an unrivaled crude material supplier than contenders.

In case the coordinations cost is reduced, there is a pick up. Logistics is among the territories of the

inventory network arrange, creating at an immense rate as the Internet and E-Commerce is certainly

varying array, supply time plus the swiftness information what's more requesting and pay process.

The 5 modern strategies in India have affected producers to construct plants in remote, in reverse

areas on account of sparing area and tax cuts. With extended land scattering of income in India,

shopper markets extending past the five metros of Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai and

Hyderabad. Then again, rather than being pre-emptive, associations are soon after with new entry

outlets. In that situation, the extended rivalry transversely finished industry verticals is driving firms

to revolve around item conveyance, and coordinations is expanding further vitality with this.

 International Logistics

Universal logistics is turning more critical to organizations as the world schedules as of nearby

domestic markets to intercontinental markets. Globalization carries homogenization of customer

desires, advancement of exchange, and modest advantages of working trendy international markets.

This journey for adaptability and reactivity influences the conception and the administration of firms

and all the more by and large their logistics system and adds to the improvement of organization

relations, to the development of mergers and strategic alliance between organizations. Logistics is

extraordinarily imperative on the widespread scale. The correct Logistics frameworks everywhere all

over the world are a reason for business and a quality of existing for everyone. Proportional

instances of this specialization have been Japan's electronic industry, the farming, PC and plane

ventures of United States and diverse countries' transcendence in giving crude materials, for

example, gold, chromium, bauxite, oil. "International Logistics (also known as Global Logistics)

focuses on how to manage and control overseas activities effectively as a single business unit.

Therefore, companies should try to harness the value of overseas product, services, marketing, R&D

and turn them into competitive advantage".

Logistics framework components:

The going with centers is the structure parts of Logistics;

 Request handling

 Warehousing

 Stock control

 Transportation

 Data observing

 Offices

 Network Design

 Packing and Labeling

 Monetary Ordering Quantity (EOQ)

a) Request planning:

The beginning stage is physical circulation is the treatment of customers' requests. For instance, if a

mixed-up item or a comparative item with different determinations is given to the client, it may incite

withdrawal of the primary request. In like way, if the request isn't completed inside a stipulated time, it

may head towards genuine results. Fast information preparing hones are as of now offered which

consider the snappy treatment of the customer orders.

b) Warehousing:

Warehousing intends to the putting away and gathering things to set aside a few minutes‟ utility. The

major explanation behind the warehousing activity is to position method of merchandise, give able

storeroom to store them, unite them with other like things, split them into lighter sums and create

collection of items. Generally, the time taken in serving customers at different zones is lesser if the

amount of capacity units of a firm is colossal, yet more noteworthy is the cost of warehousing.

c) Stock control and organization:

The stock decisions are associated with warehousing choices which hold the best approach to

accomplishment of physical conveyance. Essentially where the stock costs may be as high as 30-40 for

each penny. This helps the firm regarding the cost of stock and supply to customers in time and besides

to keep up creation at an anticipated level.

d) Transportation:

The development of merchandise from purpose of creation and arrangement to purpose of usage in the

sums required occasionally required at a goal cost. The transportation framework fabricates time and

place utilities to the items dealt with and along these lines, rises their financial esteem. Carriage

workplaces must be palatable, 8 general, tried and true and fair the extent that cost and focal points of the

workplaces and administration served.

e) Data checking:

The physical flow chiefs are industriously educated about stock, transportation and warehousing. For

instance, if there should arise an occurrence of stock, information about current stock position at divisible

regions, future obligation and restoration capacities are persistently required.

G. S. College of Commerce and Economics, Nagpur
f) Offices:

The offices coordination‟s part is adjusted of an assortment of arranging exercises, which are altogether

connected with towards ensuring all the required perpetual and semi-changeless working and bolster

offices are open at the same time with framework taking care of (for instance, planning, field and

terminal help, storing, operational, and testing). Offices advancement can take from 5 to 7 years from

idea plan to client inhabitancy.

g) Network design:

Network design is one of the prime duties of Logistics administration. This system is required to decide the

number and area of manufacturing plants, distribution centres, material dealing with hardware's and so forth

on which logistics effectiveness depends.

h) Packing and labelling: Packing and labelling are a vital part of logistics supervision. Packing infers

enclosing an item into appropriate parcels or compartments, for simple and convenient treatment of the

product by both, the seller and exceptionally the purchaser. Labelling means putting distinguishing proof that

blemishes on the bundle of the item. A label gives information about – date of packing and expiry, weight and

size of item, ingredients utilized as a part of the manufacture of the product, guidelines to be followed for

right treatment of the product, value payable by the purchaser and so forth.

i) Economic Ordering Quantity (EOQ):

Economic Ordering Quantity (EOQ), yield high stock levels and high stock delivering costs yet less orders

and lower ordering costs. High ordering costs and arrange rates suggest enormous request numbers.

Significant number of association degree to which these limits can be met by methods for electronic request

arranging, procurement, online lists, web offering and online exchanges, is how much stock levels and lost

arrangements expenses may be decreased in the store network and there to the efficiency of logistics tasks.

Objectives of Logistics:

a) Rapid Response: Quick reaction is deals about a company's efficiency to fulfil customer service
prerequisites in a convenient way.
b) Minimum Fluctuation: Difference is any surprising event that disturbs system performance.

Postponements in expected time of customer order receipt, goods incoming ruined at a customer's

location, or supply to an off-base area.

c) Lowest Stock: The target of least change includes asses' commitment also relative turn speed.

Turn speed incorporates the degree of stock use after some time. High turn tariffs, joined with stock

accessibility, suggests that assets committed to stock is as a rule feasibly utilized.

d) Movement consolidation: A champion among the most basic logistics costs is transportation.

Various co-ordinations framework that segments premium organization depends upon quick, little

shipment transportation.

e) Quality: A fifth logistical goal is to look for constant quality change. Add up to TQM has turned

into a noteworthy duty all through all surfaces of industry.

f) Life-Cycle upkeep: The last figured arrangement objective is life-cycle bolster. Scarcely any

things are sold without affirmation that the item will execute as advertised over a foreordained

period.

supplier

Supply chain management is the process of managing the movement of the raw materials and parts

from the beginning of production through delivery to the consumer. In many organizations,

operational supply chain decisions are made hundreds of times each day affecting how products are

developed, manufactured, moved, and sold.

The complexity of the supply chain varies with the size of the business and the intricacy and

quantity of items manufactured, but most supply chains have elements in common, such as the

following:

Customers: Customers start the chain of events when they decide to purchase a product that has

been offered for sale by a company. If the product has to be manufactured, the sales order will

include a requirement that needs to be fulfilled by the production facility.

Planning: The planning department will create a production plan to produce the products to fulfill

the customer’s orders. To manufacture the products, the company will then have to purchase the raw

materials needed.

Purchasing: The purchasing department receives a list of raw materials and services required by the

10
Department of Management Sciences and Research,
G. S. College of Commerce and Economics, Nagpur
production department to complete the customers’ orders.

Inventory: The raw materials are received from the suppliers, checked for quality and accuracy, and

moved into the warehouse.

Production: Based on a production plan, the raw materials are moved to the production area. These

raw materials are used to manufacture the finished products ordered by the customer and then sent to

the warehouse where they await shipping.

Integrated supply chain:

A generic supply chain structure is as simple as Supplier, Manufacturer, Wholesaler

and Retailer (it's more complex in the real world but a simple illustration serves the

purpose).

The word "management" can be explained briefly as "planning, implementing,

controlling". Supply Chain Management is then the planning, implementing and

controlling of the networks.

2. INDUSTRY PROFILE
The cement industry is mainly driven by the consequential number of construction activities

with the growing demand and a surging need for residential complexes of urbanised

population.

Furthermore, the construction of various infrastructure projects such as airports and roads,

undertaken by the government in recent times, propels the growth of the market. Some of

the major players include UltraTech Cement Limited, Ambuja Cements Limited, ACC

Limited, Shree Cement Limited.

Market Insights:

India is the second-largest producer of cement in the world, accounting for more than 7% of

the global installed capacity. In FY 2021, domestic production stood at 294.40 million tons,

declining by 12% year-on-year on account of the economic slowdown. Cement

consumption is projected to reach about 419.92 million tons in FY 2027.

The spurt in demand from sectors such as housing, commercial construction, and industrial

construction will lead to an increase in consumption.

Segment insights:

The housing sector is the key contributor to the cement industry growth. It is estimated that

about 60% of cement is consumed by the sector. Demand is further getting fuelled by the

non-trade segment, which is gaining momentum with the resumption of construction work

of public infrastructure projects such as roadways and metros, after the lockdown.

 In terms of production, South India has the maximum production capacity among the five

zones (North, South, Central, West, and East). It has a share of about 33% of the overall

cement production.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis:

In the wake of the pandemic, production was affected due to intermittent lockdowns and

restrictions on mobility. Construction activities were interrupted in Q4 FY 2021 and Q1 FY

2022 because of the second wave and this resulted in the decline of consumption.

However, because orders were put on hold, consumption volumes increased in the second

quarter of FY 2022. Significant market growth is expected over the forecast period because

of higher infrastructure and developmental activities.

10. LIMITATIONS

 Duration of the internship was quite small.

 As an intern, I was not provided with the Login in Id and Password for the

operation of the organization, I had to use the Id of the respective allotted

officers.

 At times the data available for study can be too large, which makes it a time-

consuming task.

 Most of the contents collected were difficult to understand because it was a new

field for me to work in.

 Some desired information could not be collected due to the confidentially of

business.

11. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Research methodology is the specific procedures or techniques used to identify select,

process and analyses information about topic. In a research paper, the methodology

section allows the reader to critically evaluate a study’s overall validity and reliability.

The methodology Sections answers two main questions:

How was the data collected 1

generated? How it analyzed Research methodology was is the path through which

researchers need to conduct their research. It shows the path through their problem

and objective and present their result from the data obtained during the study period.

This research design and methodology also shows how the research outcome at the

end will be obtained in line with meeting the objective of the study.

Observational Data –

Observational data are captured through observation of a behavior or activity. It is

collected using methods such as human observation, open-ended surveys, or the use of an

instrument or sensor to monitor and record information -- such as the use of sensors to

observe noise levels at the airports. Because observational data are captured in real time, it

would be very difficult or impossible to re-create if lost.

. RAW MATERIAL PROCUREMENT PROCESS

The raw material procurement department is the most important segment of the manufacturing

company. The major part of the production cost is the cost of the purchase of raw materials

from the suppliers. It is an art to create a strategic plan for the purchase of raw materials for the

production

Raw material used in the process

 Silicon oxide

 Limestone

 Magnesium oxide

 Iron oxide

 Aluminum oxide

MANUFACTURING PROCESS

The term manufacturing refers to the processing of raw materials or parts into finished goods

through the use of tools, human labor, machinery, and chemical processing.

Types of Manufacturing Techniques

 Make to Stock (MTS)

o The traditional production technique is make-to-stock, the manufacturing of a

standard product based on forecast demand. A company estimates how many

units will be sold over a given period of time, then plan in advance to

manufacture that many goods. Goods are often held as inventory leading up to

the release and broad distribution of the goods.

 Make to Order (MTO)

o Opposite of MTS, make-to-order manufacturing entails working directly with a

customer to understand their need and desired product specifications.

Manufacturing typically only starts after a signed contract or letter of intent. In

addition, manufacturers may generate light prototypes but will often hold off on

starting manufacturing until full product specifications have been delivered.

 Make to Assemble (MTA)

o The third type of manufacturing technique is a make-to-assemble process.

Companies try to get a head start by starting production on component parts.

Then, as customers begin to place orders, companies assemble previously-

manufactured components.

 SUPPLY PROCESS

After the products are finished with the process they are stored in a warehouse that look after

certain protocols given below

1. Keep cement protected from dampness and moisture

2. Do not place cement bags directly on concrete floor

3. Handle cement bags carefully

4. Keep cement bags protected during transportation

5. Provide adequate ventilation when stored in pallets in warehouses

6. Store leftover cement carefully

After that, the cement is transported to the customers via trucks according to the need and

demands of the customer

13. FINDINGS

 I found that the control methods used by the organization are perfectly optimized

and the day-to-day business operations are neatly undertaken by the concerned

employees and departmental heads.

 Various business operations of the organization like keeping a track of the truck

entries, input of the raw material and the track of supply of the cement bags. etc.

are carried out as the rules and regulations of the organization.

 Following were the working attribute that I observed:

1. Proper documentation is carried for each and every entry of the truck and order.

2. The track of the inventory and the raw material is kept on the same level.

3. Maintaining good relationship with the existing customer and building a

relationship with prospects is crucial at the organization.

14. SUGGESTIONS

 The organization is already carrying out various activities to reuse and recycle the

paper waste and other available resources, but the organization should switch to

total online mode for documentation.

 One great thing which is experienced during my internship was the relationship

that the staff has developed with the existing customers of the organization few

more efforts can be put forward in order to attract new customers.

 organization should be encouraged to take part in the CSR activities which will

provide them with a feeling of fulfilment and will also help them improve the

organization’s brand awareness which in turn will attract new customers.

 The organization should be more careful and documented while keeping a record of

their raw material and the inventory.

 After observing the sales capacity of the organization I would suggest the

organization to expand their plant capacity.

 15. CONCLUSION

1. Supply chain and logistics management are interrelated together or we can say that logistics

is a subset of supply chain management. Supply Chain Management acknowledges all of

traditional logistics and also includes activities such as marketing, new product development,

finance, and customer service

There are six types of operation in logistics and supply chain management:

。 Booking operation

。 Delivery operation

。 Transshipment

。 CRM Operation

。 Business Development

2. The organization carry out different operational activities like-

• Choosing the appropriate path for the procurement of raw material and choosing the

one with lowest cost.

• Order documentation before the truck enters the plant for loading.

• Loading of trucks and supplying the product choosing the shortest route possible to

avoid the increase in the cost of the organization.

3. The supply cycle length of the organization is mostly of one day if the place of delivery is in

the district itself. But the cycle length may differ as per the distance. The organization depart

the order on the current day at the earliest and might get it departed by the next day if it gets

delayed.

More Observations:
 From the internship it was seen that there a strict and rigid environment when it

comes to following the rules and regulations set by the higher authorities because if

there is any lethargic behaviors it can have a negative impact on the working of the

organization.

 The organization is very particular when it comes to creating the bills and order

procedure.

 I developed good interpersonal relationship with the staff that I got the work with,

the environment that I had during my internship was peaceful, friendly and

positive.

 I concluded that it is crucial for a manufacturing firm to maintain customer

relationships and provide customers with the best possible service that they have to

offer.
