  4. Using a real-time dashboard reporting to take the pulse of a supplier chain:-
    A management system must provide robust capabilities for real-time reporting. This should include on-screen dashboards that provide a view of the entire supplier chain. The software also needs to offer clients for the major mobile platforms, including iOS, Android, Windows Phone, and BlackBerry. Additionally, these mobile dashboard screens need to effectively scale between the smartphone and tablet form factors, which is easier to do in iOS.
    Reporting is vital for tracking overall chain performance and metrics. Data for short orders, inventory turns, and on-time shipments need to be easily accessible. This information is crucial for improving the efficiency of any supplier management system.

  12. patanjali supply chain management
    The three phases of patanjali’s supply chain are product flow, information flow and cash flow. Patanjali has recently completed a tie up with Future group to sell the products. They also sell their products through their own outlets opened in almost every district/city of India. Each outlet has to send their demand to central office at Hardiwar. Then as per the demand, various products are gathered from various units of Patanjali. The items are delivered to outlets majorly through Patanjali transport.
    therefore it can be diagramented as
    farmer-producer-supplier.
