INTRODUCTION
A supply chain is a network that includes vendors of raw materials, plants that transform
those materials into useful products and distribution centres to get those to customers.
Transport or transportation is the movement of people and goods from one location to
another. Modes of transport include air, rail, road, water, cable, pipeline, and space.
6. Cash-Flow: Arranging the payment terms and methodologies for exchanging funds
across entities within the supply chain.
7. Location: The location of the warehouse should be near to the market as well as to the
company or where the transportation is easily available.
8. Route: The route be selected to minimize the cost and the shortest path should be selected.
Supply chain execution means managing and coordinating the movement of materials,
information and funds across the supply chain. The flow is bi-directional.
CONCLUSION
The performances of a supply chain is measured in terms of profit, average product fill rate,
response time and capacity utilization. The warehouse and transportation should be for
minimizing the cost for supply chain management. Capacity utilization for both warehouse
and transportation should be high enough to reduce overhead sufficiently, but not so high that
there is no room to grow or to handle fluctuation in demand. Lower capacity utilization
decreases downside risk since costs are reduced, but also limits the upside gain if future
demand should outstrip supply. A warehouse management system or WMS is a key part of
supply chain and primarily aims to control the movement and storage of materials within a
warehouse and process the associated transactions, including shipping. Receiving , put away
and picking. The systems also direct and optimize stock put away based on real-time
information about the status of bin utilization. The issues of transportation and warehouse
should be management properly for effective supply chain management system.
