This document analyzes steel consumption and the supply chain between Tata Steel and Tata Motors in India. It finds that [1] steel consumption per vehicle has decreased slightly over time but HR sheet steel still accounts for over 800kg per vehicle, [2] the demand-supply gap for critical steel grades leads to shortages, and [3] both companies' scheduling is defective and safety stock policies are not adhered to. It recommends improving lead times, adopting a new information system, ensuring schedule accuracy, and directly engaging vendors to address these issues.

Prashant Mishra 1302-193 IMT Ghaziabad The context Jamshedpur : a manufacturing hub Tata steel + Tata Motors- perfect location Logistically well connected Still poor efficiency in demand fulfillment The problem Erratic behaviour of supply chain of Tata motors, and tracking of per vehicle consumption of critical grades of steel . Research Design Primary data Secondary Data Qualitative design Questionaire design Data collection Procedural steps : Understanding the manufacturing process flow at Tata Steel. Understanding the manufacturing process flow Tata Motors. Analyzing the demand demographics of Tata Motors Identifying the role of TSPDL. Conducting vendor visits and interaction Data collection and analysis Result generation A bit about steel HR : Hot rolled - thickness of 2- 10 mm - poor surface finish - good mechanical strength CR : Cold rolled - Thickness of 0.75 mm to 2 mm - good surface finish - not so good mechanical strength The supply chain flow TATA STEEL VENDORS TSPDL TATA MOTORS Plan of study Study has ben planned in two phases 1) evaluation of the perception of tata steel among tata motors ancillaries and evaluation of problems 2) Evaluating the steel consumption per grade per vehicle, so as to facilitate better understanding of the consumption pattern The Findings : Vendors satisfaction Vendor satisfaction Satisfied Unsatisfied Problems faced by ancillaries 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 credit limit order quota incorrect schedules unavailiblity transportation packaging Problems breakup

Month Safety stock Deficit Conclusion Demand supply gap for critical grades Vendors wrongly influence demand Scheduling on both fronts is defective No adherence to the safety stock policy No information management system for ancillaries Unethical logistical practices Recmmendations Reduce lead time for critical grades Adopt appropriate sizing of finished coils. Implementation of state of the art information system The supply line should be properly maintained. They should improve customer relationship. Ensuring greater schedule accuracy If possible engage the vendors directly Investing in safety stock inventory storage capacity
