    Supplier Quality Dashboard Integration

    A dashboard creation project was implemented for real time monitoring of supplier QA for an FMCG company working with a large number of suppliers. The issue identified were lack of well defined KPIs for suppliers, multiple sources for data for supplier quality, no real time numbers for quick decision making. The project addressed these concerns by defining KPIs for each supplier, consolidating data from multiple sources and creating real time dashboards using Microsoft Power BI. Extensive trainings were conducted in-house and suppliers were sensitized about the new QA monitoring mechanism. This resulted in centralized tracking of supplier quality thereby releasing bandwidth of 4 resources.

    Strengthening Procurement Quality Controls

    A project was carried out at an EPC company that faced procurement inefficiencies and safety risks due to purchasing sub-standard materials from low-cost suppliers. These materials often failed to meet quality standards, causing construction delays and safety hazards. To resolve this, the project team implemented a centralized procurement system with stricter vendor qualification processes and enhanced quality control checks. They established an approved supplier list and conducted regular audits. As a result, procurement efficiency improved by 25%, and instances of sub-standard materials decreased by 95%. The company saved approximately INR 30 lacs annually in potential rework and penalties. This led to better-aligned processes, safer construction practices, and improved overall project outcomes.

  • SCM/ Purchase > Logistic and Transportation Management

    Optimizing Logistics Efficiency

    A project was done for a leading battery manufacturer to reduce their truck detention charges by 50%. The project involved analyzing and improving loading and unloading times, implementing an appropriate scheduling system for better communications with carriers and dock assignments, reallocating resources to increase dock staffing during peak times. Collaboration with carriers was enhanced to establish better and clearer detention policies and optimize the truck arrival times. The project improved operational efficiency by reducing average detention times by 50%, increasing on-time loading and unloading rates to 95%, reduced wait time for carriers resulting in an annual saving of INR 50 lacs in detention charges.

  • SCM/ Purchase > Strategic Sourcing

    Optimizing Strategic Sourcing

    A strategic sourcing project was done for a starch manufacturing company. The company had a very large supplier base for corn and it was largely convenience sourcing leading to suboptimal quality of corn resulting in operational issues and lesser yield. The project involved defining key performance indicators such as quality, delivery reliability, cost competitiveness, accessibility and responsiveness. A standardized scorecard template was created, and performance data was collected and evaluated. Suppliers were informed about the new evaluation process and collaborated in setting realistic performance targets. As a result, the company improved the raw material quality, supplier delivery reliability and were able to make more informed strategic sourcing decisions. The project also enhanced risk management by identifying underperforming suppliers early, better controlled process leading to a yield improvement of 6% and strengthened the company’s competitive position through a more efficient and responsive supply chain.

  • SCM/ Purchase > Supplier Relationship Management

    Expanding Supplier Engagement Networks

    A Supplier Relationship Effectiveness project was undertaken for an NBFC to expand their Direct Selling Agent (DSA) network. The project involved identifying additional geographies to penetrate, identifying the major DSAs active in that region, re-working the commission structures to make it more attractive for DSAs and training the sales team to be able to give a quicker confirmation on loan sanctions. By effectively engaging the DSAs through a dedicated sales teams, the company was able to increase their active DSA count from 45 to 62, leading to a 50% increase in the file sourcing and increasing the annual disbursements from INR 40 crore to INR 55 crore.

    Optimizing Inventory Management

    An inventory reduction project was executed at a leather products manufacturing company to reduce the cost associated with the raw material inventory. The project included studying the produce demand, variations due to seasonality, negotiations with the suppliers for time and cost, consolidation of suppliers for a tighter and integrated value chain and Just-In-Time principle. As a result of the project the raw material inventory value was reduced by 45% from INR 10,00,000 to INR 5,50,000. This initiative freed up capital, improved efficiency, and maintained customer service levels without increasing the stockouts.
