So, following my Career as supply chain specialist! It is important to understand the brand as what values it offers. Brands are built in minds of the people but its closely associated to the product or service that is offered by the brand. So, to help build that perception and maintain it in the mind of people it’s very important that product attributes are aligned and should be presented to the consumer at the right time and at the right place to keep in order to meet the public satisfaction. #BrandMaanagement Thanking Omar Abedin for sharing use ful insights Kamran Tariq Syed Ali Imam

As exotic ingredients become more popular in nearly every product category, total supply chain integration is poised to become the status quo in just as many categories. It is a monumental logistical task to transport said exotic ingredients from the country where they are harvested to the consumer population. To accomplish this while maintaining sustainability and supplier equity demands centralized supply control. Especially if you want to make your customers' experience consistently unique. I am excited to see where these supply chain trends appear in the next few decades. #Globalism101 #SupplyChain #Integration

2022 and 2023 flipped the script for consumer goods, as producer price inflation far outstripped the rates of increase on store shelves.

Why do FMCG companies struggle to improve both availability and freshness together? Almost every FMCG company I have interacted with has a major initiative to improve product availability. Many of these companies, especially with perishable or short shelf life products, also have an initiative to improve product freshness. The irony is that these two are seen as separate initiatives. Moreover, the teams realise that actions envisaged under these two initiatives are inherently conflicting. For example, improving product availability through high inventory leads to staler products to consumers. Similarly, improving product freshness through reduced channel inventory results in poor availability. How do we resolve this conflict? The solution lies in challenging the assumptions behind various supply chain policies, processes and practices. One such practice is keeping high inventory at the last mile node facing consumers. The inherent assumption is that it would improve availability. Have you ever tested this assumption? If you do, you would soon realise that it actually leads to higher stockouts, as we commit the stocks too early and the ability to divert stocks from low demand to high demand locations gets more difficult. There are several such assumptions which must be challenged, leading to changes in policies, processes and practices. Unless we do that, simultaneous improvement in product availability and freshness will continue to be elusive. #supplychain #design #availability #freshness #consumers #fmcg #improvement #initiative #conflict #assumptions #policies #processes #practices #inventory #demand #toc #poogi #primenuggets
