Strategic Changes made to incorporate international operations
• Heavy investment is involved to expand geographically and there is need to provide cross cultural training to the employees.
• International sourcing from standard suppliers is shipped to the new locations through sea transport.
• RFID technology implemented to track and find the shipments.
• Utilization of local human and natural resources to achieve better margins.
• Hub and spoke model implemented to build central warehouses and docks near to sea and then transporting the same to the distant locations.
• Forecasting and demand estimation done centrally and the inventory details shared with the suppliers on a real time basis to ensure low inventory holding cost.
• Multiple deliveries from the suppliers ensured fast replenishment and zero stock out situations.
