METHODOLOGY
A research design is a method and procedure for acquiring

information needed to solve theproblem. A research design is a basic plan that helps in data collection or analysis. It specifies the of information to be collected, the source and collection procedure. A good research decision will ensure that the data collected is relevant to the objectives to be achieved. Data type The data is of primary data as well as secondary data collected through structured and unstructured interviewing and in depth discussion with several authorities of the company. The methodology followed in this study includes the procedure of Supply ChainManagement and relation with

INDUSTRY PROFILE
Cement is made by heating limestone (calcium

carbonate) with small quantities of other materials (such as clay) to 1450 C in a kiln, in a process known as calcination, whereby a molecule of carbon dioxide is liberated from the calcium carbonate to form calcium oxide, or quicklime, which is then blended with the other materials that have been included in the mix. The resulting hard substance, called 'clinker', is then ground with a small amount of gypsum into a powder to make 'Ordinary Portland Cement', the most commonly used type of cement (often referred to as OPC).

A GLIMPSE ON THE CEMENT INDUSTRY

Today cement industry comprises of 183 cement

plants and more than 360 mini cement plants. 98% of the capacity is in the private sector and the rest in public sector. Global cement production has expanded at an average rate of 6.4% in the last five years from 2568 million tonnes to 3294 million tonnes. China and India have been the drivers of growth in global cement output. India is the second largest cement producer in the world after China. The turnover of cement industry was found to be nearly US $25billion in 2010-11. Cement being a low value high volume output has a very limited international trade.

SWOT ANALYSIS
Strengths

The cement industry has many strengths to be considered. Cement is, literally, the building block of the construction industry. Almost every building constructed relies on cement for its foundation. The cement business is a $10 billion industry, measured by annual cement shipments. There is also a strong reputation behind the cement industry. Cement is a solid material and consumers rarely have complaints about the product. Regional distribution plants have also made cement widely available to any type of buyer. Weaknesses The cement industry is not without its drawbacks. The cement industry relies on construction jobs to create a profit. But the cement industry heavily relies on weather. About twothirds of cement production takes place between May and October. Cement producers often use the winter months to produce and stockpile cement, to meet demand. Another weakness is the cost of transport; the cost of transporting cement is high and this keeps cement from being profitable

 Opportunities

The cement industries has opportunities as well. One such opportunity is the cement industry's efficiency. The cement industry has recently streamlined its production efforts, using dry manufacturing instead of wet, which is heavier and more time-consuming. The cement industry has also invested about $6 billion in expansion efforts to meet unmet cement needs. Projections show that by 2012, the cement industry will have 25 percent more production capabilities. Threats The nature of the economy have uncovered a number of threats to the cement industry. The cement industry greatly relies on construction. The current economy has lessened the number of construction jobs, which in turn hurts the cement industry. The cement industry controls the majority of the United States market, but not all of it. About 11.5 metric tons of cement are imported annually to support the unmet need. If other countries can produce and ship cement for a reduced price, the U.S. cement industry is in danger. The U.S. government is also attempting to regulate the cement industry's waste.

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

 The term supply chain management arose in the late

1980s and came into widespread use in the 1990s. Prior to that time, businesses used terms such as logistics and operations management instead. Some definitions of a supply chain are offered below: A supply chain is the alignment of firms that bring products or services to market.from Lambert, Stock, and Ellram in their book Fundamentals of Logistics Management. Supply chains encompass the companies and the business activities needed to design,make, deliver, and use a product or service. A supply chain consists of all stages involved, directly or indirectly, in fulfilling a customer request. The supply chain not only includes the manufacturer and suppliers,
