Abstract

In any SCM process, there are multiple problems. However, key issues of Distribution – Logistics operations are very critical in nature as its impact will be seen by your customers directly. Logistics problems are similar in nature but reasons could be different. Today’s customers are very different, they expect the exact product they want, when they want it and at right price. The conventional ways of Inventory control like safety stock, reorder level, economical order quantity etc. need changes. These concepts were hold good when the demand was known and not having many competitors. These parameters are to be redefined. In order to understand these parameters, we have created a scenario using VB .NET as well as ASP .NET technologies. It is a simulator. Hence, getting information becomes a part of fun through simulator. In this paper, we shall discuss the methodology and various policies, how we have implemented to understand grass root level causes for elimination.
