Railside complexes
Railways has vast network for not only operating passenger trains but also for freight movement,
an imminent need was assessed to augment the utilization level of Railway transportation system
so as to reduce the pressure on road traffic by making it cost effective and efficient operation for
the trade. As such, concept of Rail Side Warehousing facilities was evolved by the Corporation
as value addition to the rail transport system which extends benefits to the users in avoiding
multiple handling of their stocks and resultant escapable losses on this account; curtailing
handling cost and having a hassle free efficient operation.
For transforming the concept into tangible shape, CWC successfully developed a pilot project of
Rail Side Warehousing facility at Whitefield, Bangalore in association with South Western
Railway in February 2002 and on the strength of fruitful effect of this project on the front of
increase in traffic/freight revenue and the kind of satisfaction that trade enjoyed out of it on
availing this value added services in the arena of rail transportation, CWC and Ministry of
Railway joined their hand in the avenue of developing Rail Side Warehousing facilities at 22
strategic locations of Railway Terminal to provide better services through total logistic solution
to Rail users for, not only to attract additional traffic, but also to provide a cost beneficial and
efficient transport cum storage service to the trade under single window concept.
A subsidiary in the name of “Central Railside Warehouse Company Ltd.” Was incorporated
on 10.07.2007, under the Companies Act 1956 which commenced its business on 24.07.2007.

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
LOGISTICS INDUSTRY IN INDIA
India has become the prime destination for logistics service providers all over the world. The
demand for logistics services in India has been largely driven by the remarkable growth of the
economy. The growth is being projected at 9-10 per cent in next few years, with the
CAGR(compounded annual growth rate) expected to grow at a rate of 7-8 per cent. This growth
is expected to gain greater momentum due to the exponential growth of the Indian economy.
India is also experiencing a big retail boom as the buying capacity of the middle and upper
middle segment of the population has scaled new heights. Many large multinationals from the
retail industry are planning to set up operation in India and large local retailers are also planning
to expand their operations. But with the infrastructure largely under-developed and incapable of
catering to a growing economy, logistics management in India becomes too complex. The poor
condition of infrastructure directly translates to higher turnover, pushing up the operating costs
and reducing efficiency. There are other problems such as complex regulatory compliance and
limited adoption and utilization of technology, which has resulted in increased paperwork and
inability to communicate effectively with customers. In spite of dismal infrastructural scenario,
the hopes of the logistics sector are kept up by the various upcoming infrastructural projects like
logistics parks and hubs and other initiatives by public and private sector. The future of the
logistics sector depends not only on the continued development of infrastructure but also on the
capability of the service providers in adapting themselves and making optimal utilization of
technology. India is emerging as one of the world‘s leading consumer market with the raise of
middle income group. Estimated at US$991 billion in 2020, Total consumption expenditure is
expected to grow to nearly US$ 3.6 trillion in 2020. Food, housing & consumer durable and
transport &communication are expected to be the top 3 categories, accounting for 65% of
consumption in2020. The FMCG sector alone is expected to grow at a base rate of 12 % annually
to become an INR 4000 billion industry by 2020. The logistics sector is expected to play an
important role in accessing this emerging market and enabling this growth.
INDUSTRY TRENDS
Transportation:
Container cargo represents only about 30% (by value) of India‘s external trade-much lower when
compared with the global containerized cargo average of 70-75%. At a growth rate of 12%,
India‘s container cargo traffic is estimated to reach 15 million TEUs by FY16E from about 7.5
million TEUs now (at 12 major ports). In comparison, China has created capacity at its ports to
handle more than 100 million TEUs a year. Out of the 15 mn TEUs of total container traffic, we
estimate EXIM rail container traffic to be 5 mn TEUs by FY16E. This would be a huge
opportunity and will significantly benefit container rail operators. Rising investment in the rail
and port spaces also fuels growth in allied industries like wagon manufacturing, port handling
equipment, railway electrification systems and construction companies. To reduce the
transportation cost and for quicker movement of cargo Multimodal transport operation is
introduced (MTO). MTO helps exporters with less documentation for instance single document
for all modes of transport.
Third Party Logistics (3PL):
Outsourcing is everywhere. Logistics industry is no exception. Logistics services like
transportation, warehousing, cross docking, Inventory management, packaging and freight
forwarding all are part of third party logistic services. Companies in India currently outsource an
estimated of 52% of logistics. And 3PL industry is estimated to be US$1.5bn in FY14. 3PL
represents only 1% of logistics cost emphasis its significance in the industry. Future is no doubt
lying in outsourcing. As the growth in the 3PL market is expected to be in the range of 25-30%
CAGR over FY11-14E. As of now, the 3PL activity is limited to only few industries like
automotive, IT hardware, telecom and infrastructure equipment. The organized 3PL market in
India can be categorized into three major segments – public sector, private sector and foreign
entrants. Some of the major players in each category are: TVS logistics, DIESL (TATA),
Panalpina, TCI, Gati, Allcargo, V Trans, Total, VRL and Reliance etc.
Private Participation:
The industry is becoming more competent with the entry of global giants like Gazeley Broekmen
(Wal-Marts logistics partner), CH Robinson and Kerry logistics and large Indian corporate
houses like Tata, Reliance and Bharti group. A series of mergers and acquisition like DHL
acquired Blue Dart, TNT acquired Speed age Express Cargo Service and Fedex bought over
Pafex, are also leading to consolidation industry at various levels and segments. Many of these
companies are planning to broaden their areas of operation and are also planning to develop their
own logistic parks across the country. If the trend continues as per the estimates, the market
share of the organized logistics players is expected to double from 6% in2013 to approx. 12% by
2020.
Express logistics:
Organized players have monopoly over the express logistics industry. 65%of express business is
in the hands of organized players, while semi-organized and unorganized players accounts for
25% and the remaining 10% of the market by EMS Speed Post. But altogether different picture
can be witnessed in the domestic segment. In domestic front, unorganized players hold 41% of
the market share based on price advantage. While organized players accounts for 45% and EMS
Speed Post the remaining 14%.
Warehouses:
Recently, warehouses have become key growth drivers in the logistics industry. Apart from
conventional storing services, warehouses now providing value-added services like consolidation
and breaking up of cargo, packaging, labeling, bar coding and reverse logistics etc. warehousing
and related activities account for approx. 20% of the total logistics industry. Most of the
warehousing space in India lies with unorganized players in domestic front, which is causing
wide supply and demand gap in storage space. According to KPMG, an additional120million
square feet of warehousing space is needed by 2013 to bridge this gap. Currently, the organized
warehousing industry in India has a capacity of approx. 80millionmetric tonnes and is growing at
35 to 40 per cent per annum. An investment of approximately US$ 500million is being planned
by various logistics companies for the development of about45million square feet of warehouse
space by 2013.Many players in this segment such as Multimodal Logistics Park, Mega Food
Parks and Free Trade Warehousing Zones have planned next generation storage models.
Logistic parks:
About 110 logistics parks spread over approximately 3,500 acres at an estimated cost of $1 bn
are expected to be operational and an estimated 45 mn ft2 of warehousing space with an
investment of $ 500 mn is expected to be developed by various logistics companies
by2020.Majority of these logistics parks are planned in close proximity to state capitals.
However, availability of large land parcels at relatively low cost, connectivity to multiple
markets across states and industrial clusters has led to the emergence of some tier-2 and tier-3
cities as favored destinations for the development of logistics parks and warehouses.
Government Initiatives and regulations Initiatives:
To emphasis the significance of transportation in logistics industry and to increase the
competence in the sector government introduced private participation, especially in port sector.
The major initiative in transport infrastructure is introduction of National Maritime Development
Program (NMDP) with an investment of Rs 568bn. NMDP would be addressing the challenges
of the growing international traffic demand of the country along with developing the port
facilities at par with world standards. While liberalizing the railway services, government opened
the doors of container business to the private parties. A total of 15 players immediately entered
the market.
FDI regulations
In general 100% FDI under the automatic route is permitted for all logistic services
FDI up to 100% subject to FIPB approval is permitted for courier services.
FDI up to 49% under the automatic route is permitted for air transport services, including air
cargo services.
100% FDI is permitted in Ports and Harbours under automatic route
100% FDI is permitted under the automatic route for storage and warehousing including
warehousing of agricultural products with cold storage.
100% FDI is permitted in transport and transport support services through automatic route.
Indian Logistics Industry- Future Trends
There have been several key indicators to the future trend in the Indian logistics sector. The
demand for logistics services has been largely driven by the remarkable growth of the Indian
economy. Logistics spend in India is estimated to be around 13% of the GDP, which is
comparatively higher than other developed countries.
The air transport sector‘s contribution has been around 0.2 per cent of the country‘s GDP, while
the transport sector‘s contribution to the GDP has been growing over the last couple of years.
India‘s air cargo is predicted to grow at over CAGR of 11.5 per cent in the next few years. The
contribution of the marine transport sector has also been around 0.2% to the country‘s GDP.
The sector‘s contribution to the GDP has been increasing mostly because of the growing
economic developments in the country. The role of the shipping industry in the growth of Indian
economy has been very significant. Major ports in India together have handled around 500
million tonnes of cargo in the past two years and this figure is growing significantly.
The Indian railways has realized the necessity to improve the infrastructure provide better
service. The plan to develop Logistics Parks or hubs has the potential to streamline and optimize
the supply chain and reduce the costs. Currently around 80% of the goods in India move by road,
the railways has to essentially devise plans to divert this traffic to the rail.
India‘s logistics sector attracted huge investments, leaving behind some of the major sectors
including aviation, metals, and consumer durables. The growths in the retail and manufacturing
industry, commodity markets and development of SEZs have been key factors in the growth of
Indian logistics industry. Recent studies have indicated that the Indian logistics industry is
expected to grow annually at the rate of 15 to 20%. A number of infrastructural projects
involving warehouse and logistics parks are being undertaken are expected to be operational in
the next 2-3 years.
The setting up special economic zones (SEZs) has led to increased logistics activities around
them. Several logistics parks have come up at locations like Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai and
Hyderabad because of their excellent port, rail, and road connectivity and are witnessing
significant investment in infrastructure. Many of the large logistics players are in the process of
setting up warehouses, container freight stations (CFS), inland container depots(ICD), logistics
parks, distribution centers and other facilities to leverage the abundant opportunities. Increase in
foreign trade is expected to further accelerate the demand for logistics services.
The future of the Industry is very bright and is sure to witness exponential growth in the coming
years. The increased participation of both public and private sector is crucial for developing
logistics and improving supply chain management. Not only do the logistics companies need to
create efficient business to thrive in the logistics sector, but they also need to explore ways for
investing energy, costs and time to grow a strong logistics system.

Key Opportunities
Indian Logistics : Key Challenges
1. Geographical Coverage Insufficient :
Insufficient distribution channels/infrastructure bottlenecks restrict the scope to
reach consumers of products nationwide.
2. Over-burdened ports
India has a long coastline. However, the country‘s port system isn‘t utilized
properly. 70% of the seaborne trade is managed by 2-3 of its 12 major ports.
Remaining 185 minor ports in the country are largely underutilized
3. Warehousing investment is low
The infrastructure including roads, airports and seaports are preliminary the main
target areas of investment. However, warehousing, a facilitator for the agricultural
sector, has attracted lower investment that reduced its pace of growth in
comparison to rising farm output
4. Technology Usage
Technology usage is still very low in India, which restricts the scope of increasing
efficiency and productivity
5. Cost/Quality of Service
According to industry analysts, logistics costs in India are among the world‘s
highest and outside of the metros and a few cities, the delivery time is very
uncertain
“Overburdened physical infrastructure is a major bottleneck currently faced by the Indian
Logistics and Transportation players”
Marketing mix in Logistics:
Marketing logistics involve planning, delivering, and controlling the flow of physical goods to a
market as well as the material and information necessary to meet customer demands. The
demands of the customer must be met at a profit that increases revenue for the orginization.
Maintaining an organization‘s competitive edge means understanding and implementing an
effective marketing logistics strategy regarding product, price, place and promotion. These four
functions of marketing logistics help the organization to reach the target customers and deliver
the products or services
PRODUCT
Each customer can have individualized needs so the logistical services provided may vary from
customer to customer. Regardless of these differences, the customers expects 100 percent
conformance and assured reliability at all times with every transaction. The goals of this aspect
of marketing logistics include filling the order, on-time delivery, precise invoicing and zero
damage.
PROMOTION
Logistics industry to take people in favour through Word of mouth publicity, reliability showing
through long years of establishment and other services. Corporation participated in various
Exhibitions, Krishi Expos, Trade Fairs, etc., and prominent fairs.
PRICE
An organization bases pricing decisions on both internal and external factors. Marketing logistics
must recognize price drivers. The profile of the customer, the product and the type of order are
factors that drive the price. Discounts for quantities and the related logistical cost structure can
impact the price the customer will ultimately pay for the product or service. Additional factors
driving price include the shipping costs based on the size, weight and distance the organization
will ship the item.
PLACE
The function of place in marketing logistics allows the organization to simplify the transactions
between a logistics provider and the customer. The organization must execute logistics in such a
way that the customer is not aware of the complexities involved in the logistics process. Also the
location of the factory, warehouse and customer can greatly impact the marketing logistics
process by increasing or reducing costs. For example, locating a factory in Bihar might reduce
the labor costs associated with a product. However, at the same time locating the factory in Bihar
might increase the shipping costs and negate any cost savings.

SWOT ANALYSIS OF INDIAN LOGISTICS INDUSTRY
Strength
1. Logistics industry contribute 10-13 % in GDP in India
2. Ranked at 46th position in world in 2012
3. Vital role in import and export business
4. Cheap labour available in India

4. State and central government policies over its industry like import restriction over certain
products and export for certain scare products
5. Competitors from international players like DHL, UPS, TNT, FEDEX, Blue Dart etc
6. Indian logistics company adopt inadequate technology compare to foreign competitors
Opportunities
Growth and future of 3PL Market in India CRISIL Research has estimated the 3PL market in
India at Rs 47-50 billion in 2008-09, which is expected to grow at a CAGR of 27% to Rs162-165
billion by 2013-14.3PL penetration has been the highest in sectors such as cars and organized
retail. The segment is also gaining importance in other sectors such as IT hardware and FMCG.
The share of 3PL in the overall logistics market is expected to increase from around 1.5 - 2.0% in
2008-09 to around3.5 – 4% by 2013-14.
The benefits would accrue in the form of:
1. Reduction in warehousing space requirement
2. Improvement in efficiency due to better inventory management
3. Reduction in transportation cost due to higher capacity utilization The segment is also
gaining importance in other sectors such as Power, Infrastructure, IT hardware and
FMCG.
Threats
Key Challenges faced by the Indian Logistics Sector
1. Logistics has historically been a high-cost, low-margin business.
2. Economies of scale are absent in the Indian logistics industry. Even the organized sector
that contributes slightly more than 1% of the logistics cost, is highly fragmented.
3. Indian freight forwarders face stiff competition from multi-national freight forwarders for
international freight movement. MNCs, because of their size and operations in many
countries, are able to offer low freight rates and extend credit for long periods. Indian
freight forwarders, on the other hand, because of their smaller size and lack of access to
cheap capital, are not able to match the same.
4. Poor physical and communications infrastructure is another deterrent to attracting
investments in the logistics sector. Road transportation accounts for more than 60% of
inland transportation of goods, and highways that constitute 1.4% of the total road
network, carry 40% of the freight movement by roadways. Slow movement of cargo due
to bad road conditions, multiple check posts and documentation requirements, congestion
at seaports due to inadequate infrastructure, bureaucracy, red-tapism and delay in
government clearances, coupled with unreliable power supply and slow banking
transactions, make it difficult for exporters to meet the deadlines for their international
customers.
5. There is lack of skilled and knowledgeable manpower in the logistics sector.
Management graduates do not consider logistics as a prime job. To improve the status of
the industry, service providers have to move beyond the level of brokers and truckers to
attract and retain talent.

Current Ratio provides a margin of safety to the creditors. In a sound business, a current ratio of
2:1 is considered an ideal one. For CONCOR the current ratio explains that the constant relation
between current assets and current liability but in the FY10 increased to 3.03:1 it indicate well
liquidly position. Later in FY12 the level of inventories would be increased it stood at 4.15:1 is
an ideal one. But CWC current ratio continuously decrease over four years but ratio cloud be
remain same position that is safe liquidity. The company spent more resource for expands its
operation over the upcoming years.
Profitability ratios
Profitability ratios show a company's overall efficiency and performance. The net profit margin
is the ratio of net income (net profit) to sales, and indicates how much of each Rupees of sales is
left over after all expenses. Having a higher value relative to a competitor's ratio or the same
ratio from a previous period is indicative that the company is doing well. As CONCOR has
higher ratio ,with a constant increment, whereas CWC profitability slightly down.
Activity Ratios:
Activity ratios are used to measure the relative efficiency of a firm based on its use of its assets,
leverage or other such balance sheet items. These ratios are important in determining whether a
company's management is doing a good enough job of generating revenues, cash, etc. from its
resources. CONCOR activity ratio is decreased over the years because of completion in market
and new government rules. But for CWC is constant over the year due to high capacity
utilization of the warehouses.

LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT - INTRODUCTION
Logistics is the management of the flow of resources between the point of origin and the point of
consumption in order to meet some requirements, for example, of customers or corporations. The
resources managed in logistics can include physical items, such as food, materials, equipment, liquids,
and staff, as well as abstract items, such as time, information, particles, and energy. The logistics of
physical items usually involves the integration of information flow, material handling, production,
packaging, inventory, transportation, warehousing, and often security. The complexity of logistics can be
modeled, analyzed, visualized, and optimized by dedicated simulation software. The minimization of the
use of resources is a common motivation
1. Seven R’s of logistics:
a. Getting the right product,
b. to the right customer,
c. in the right quantity,
d. in the right condition,
e. at the right place,
f. at the right time,
g. with the right cost.
Warehouse
A warehouse is a large building where goods are stored, and where they may be catalogued, shipped, or
received, depending upon the type. Though in the past, many warehouses, often located in industrial
areas sometimes next to major shipping ports, were teeming with workers, the modern warehouse may
be either completely or totally automated depending upon how advanced the company is. Sometimes a
manufacturing facility also has an attached warehouse, where their manufactured goods are stored until
shipped. It is a commercial building for storage of goods. Warehouses are used by manufacturers,
importers, exporters, wholesalers, transport businesses, customs, etc.
Logistics management is that part of the supply chain which plans, implements and controls the
efficient, effective, forward and backward (reverse) flow and storage of goods, services and
information between the point of origin and the point of consumption in order to meet customers'
requirements rather to the customers‘ delight. A professional working in the field of logistics
management is called a logistician.
Logistics, as a business concept, evolved only in the 1950s. This was mainly due to the
increasing complexity of supplying one's business with materials, and shipping out products in
an increasingly globalized supply chain, calling for experts in the field who are called Supply
Chain Logisticians. This can be defined as having the right item in the right quantity at the right
time at the right place for the right price and to the right target customers (consumer); and it is
the science of process having its presence in all sectors of the industry.
The goal of logistics work is to manage the fruition of project life cycles, supply chains and
resultant efficiencies. Logistics is concerned with getting (or transmitting) the products and
services where they are needed or when they are desired. It is difficult to accomplish any
marketing or manufacturing without logistical support. It involves the integration of information,
transportation, inventory, warehousing, material handling, and packaging. The operating
responsibility of logistics is the geographical repositioning of raw materials, work in process, and
finished inventories where required at the lowest cost possible.
Origin and Definition of Logistics:
The term "logistics" originates from the ancient Greek "λόγος" ("logos"—"ratio, word,
calculation, reason, speech, oration"). Logistics is considered to have originated in the military's
need to supply themselves with arms, ammunition and rations as they moved from their base to a
forward position. In ancient Greek, Roman and Byzantine empires, there were military officers
with the title ‗Logistikas‘ who were responsible for financial management and distribution of
supplies.
The Oxford English dictionary defines logistics as: ―The branch of military science having to
do with procuring, maintaining and transporting material, personnel and facilities.‖
The American Council of Logistics Management defines logistics as―the process of planning,
implementing and controlling the efficient and effective flow, and storage of goods, services and
related information from the point of origin to the point of consumption for the purpose of
conforming to customer requirements.‖
Objective of Logistics Management:
The primary objective of logistics management is to effectively and efficiently move the supply
chain so as to extend the desired level of customer service at the least cost. Thus, logistics
management starts with ascertaining customers‘ needs till their fulfilment through product
supplies. However, there are some definite objectives to be achieved through a proper logistics
system. These can be described as follows:
1. Improving customer service:
An important objective of all marketing efforts, including the physical distribution activities, is
to improve the customer service. An efficient management of physical distribution can help in
improving the level of customer service by developing an effective system of warehousing, quick
and economic transportation, and maintaining optimum level of inventory.
2. Rapid Response:
Rapid response is concerned with a firm's ability to satisfy customer service requirements in a
timely manner. Information technology has increased the capability to postpone logistical
operations to the latest possible time and then accomplish rapid delivery of required inventory.
3. Reduce total distribution costs:
The cost of physical distribution consists of various elements such as transportation,
warehousing and inventory maintenance, and any reduction in the cost of one element may result
in an increase in the cost of the other elements. Thus, the objective of the firm should be to
reduce the total cost of distribution and not just the cost incurred on any one element.
4. Generating additional sales:
A firm can attract additional customers by offering better services at lowest prices. For example,
by decentralizing its warehousing operations or by using economic and efficient modes of
transportation, a firm can achieve larger market share. Also by avoiding the out-of-stock
situation, the loss of loyal customers can be arrested.
5. Creating time and place utilities:
The products are physically moved from the place of their origin to the place where they are
required for consumption; they do not serve any purpose to the users. Similarly, the products
have to be made available at the time they are needed for consumption.
6. Price stabilization:
It can be achieved by regulating the flow of the products to the market through a judicious use of
available transport facilities and compatible warehouse operations. By stocking the raw material
during the period of excess supply and made available during the periods of short supply, the
prices can be stabilized.
7. Quality improvement:
The long-term objective of the logistical system is to seek continuous quality improvement. Total
quality management (TQM) has become a major commitment throughout all facets of industry.
If a product becomes defective or if service promises are not kept, little, if any, value is added by
the logistics. Logistical costs, once expended, cannot be reversed.
8. Movement consolidation:
Consolidation one of the most significant logistical costs is transportation. Transportation cost is
directly related to the type of product, size of shipment, and distance. Many Logistical systems
that feature premium service depend on high-speed, small shipment transportation. Premium
transportation is typically high-cost. To reduce transportation cost. It is desirable to achieve
movement consolidation.
Logistics Management Function
Logistics is the process of movement of goods across the supply chain of the company. This
process is consist of various functions, which have to be properly managed to bring effectiveness
efficiency in the supply chain of organization. The major logistical function are shown in figure
1. Order processing:
The starting point of physical distribution activities is the processing of customers‘ orders. In
order to provide quicker customer service, the orders received from customers should be
processed within the least possible time. Order processing includes receiving the order, recording
the order, filling the order, and assembling all such orders for transportation, etc. the company
and the customers benefit when these steps are carried out quickly and accurately. The error
committed at this stage at times can prove to be very costly.
Order processing activity consist of the following
 Order checking in any deviations in agreed or negotiation terms

 Prices , payment and delivery terms
 Checking the availability in of the material stocks
 Production and material scheduling for storage
 Acknowledge the order, indicating deviation
2. Warehousing:
Warehousing refers to the storing and assorting products in order to create time utility. The basic
purpose of the warehousing activity is to arrange placement of goods, provide storage facility to
store them, consolidate them with other similar products, divide them into smaller quantities and
build up assortment of products. Generally, larger the number of warehouses a firm has the lesser
would be the time taken in serving customers at different locations, but greater would be the cost
of warehousing. Thus, the firm has to strike a balance between the cost of warehousing and the
level of customer service.
Major decision in warehousing is as follow:
 Location of warehousing facility
 Number of warehousing
 Size of warehouse
 Design of the building
 Ownership of the warehouse
3. Inventory Management:
Linked to warehousing decisions are the inventory decisions which hold the key to success of
physical distribution especially where the inventory costs may be as high 15 as 30-40 per cent
(e.g., steel and automobiles). No wonder, therefore, that the new concept of Just-in-Time-
Inventory decision is increasingly becoming popular with a number of companies. The decision
regarding level of inventory involves estimate of demand for the product. A correct estimate of
the demand helps to hold proper inventory level and control the inventory costs. This is not only
helps the firm in terms of the cost of inventory and supply to customers in time but also to
maintain production at a consistent level. The major factors determining the inventory levels are:
The firm‘s policy regarding the customer service level, Degree of accuracy of the sales forecasts,
Responsiveness of the distribution system i.e., ability of the system to transmit inventory needs
to the factory and get the products in the market. The cost inventory consists of holding cost
(such as cost of warehousing, tied up capital and obsolescence) and replenishment cost
(including the manufacturing cost).
4. Transportation:
Transportation seeks to move goods from points of production and sale to points of consumption
in the quantities required at times needed and at a reasonable cost. The transportation system
adds time and place utilities to the goods handled and thus, increases their economic value. To
achieve these goals, transportation facilities must be adequate, regular, dependable and equitable
in terms of costs and benefits of the facilities and service provided.
5. Information:
The physical distribution managers continuously need up-to-date information about inventory,
transportation and warehousing. For example, in respect on inventory, information about present
stock position at each location, future commitment and replenishment capabilities are constantly
required. Similarly, before choosing a 16 carrier, information about the availability of various
modes of transport, their costs, services and suitability for a particular product is needed. About
warehousing, information with respect to space utilization, work schedules, unit load
performance, etc., is required.
In order to receive all the information stated above, an efficient management information system
would be of immense use in controlling costs, improving services and determining the overall
effectiveness of distribution. Of course, it is difficult to correctly assess the cost of physical
distribution operations. But if correct information is available it can be analyzed systematically
and a great deal of saving can be ensured.
6. Facilities:
The Facilities logistics element is composed of a variety of planning activities, all of which are
directed toward ensuring that all required permanent or semipermanent operating and support
facilities (for instance, training, field and depot maintenance, storage, operational, and testing)
are available concurrently with system fielding.
Planning must be comprehensive and include the need for new construction as well as
modifications to existing facilities. Facility construction can take from 5 to 7 years from concept
formulation to user occupancy. It also includes studies to define and establish impacts on life
cycle cost, funding requirements, facility locations and improvements, space requirements,
environmental impacts, duration or frequency of use, safety and health standards requirements,
and security restrictions. Also included are any utility requirements, for both fixed and mobile
facilities, with emphasis on limiting requirements of scarce or unique resources.
Warehouse Market Analysis
In recent times, the Indian warehousing segment in India has evolved significantly, resulting in a
gradual metamorphosis from the traditional concept of godowns to modern formats. Further,
interest and traction in the potential advantages that free-trade warehousing zones (FTWZs)
offer has increased.
The demand for warehousing services in India was estimated at approximately INR245–270
billion in 2011–1246. The market consists of industrial and agricultural warehousing, with both
segments expected to witness a significant evolution in their shares (by value) over the next five
years. The share of the industrial segment, which includes both bulk and non-bulk commodities,
is expected to increase from about 86 percent in 2010–11 to around 90 percent in 2015–16.47
This is likely to be at the cost of a corresponding decrease in the share of agricultural
warehousing.
In contrast to the industrial warehousing segment, which is highly fragmented, the agricultural
warehousing segment is dominated to the extent of two-thirds by government entities. These include the
Food Corporation of India, the Central Warehousing Corporation and all State Warehousing
Corporations. This trend is likely to vary relatively less in the next few years.
Emergence of modern warehousing formats
The demand for industrial warehousing space is estimated to have grown from around 391 million sq. ft.
in 2010 to 476 million sq. ft. in 2013, at a CAGR of 6.8 percent.
Among the analyzed sectors, the highest growth is expected from engineering goods, and IT, electronics
and telecommunications sectors, estimated to grow at CAGRs of about 8.6 and 8.2 percent, respectively,
during 2010–13. The other analyzed sectors are estimated to witness growth in the range of 5.7 to 7.1
percent48.
The share of modern warehousing is anticipated to grow from 15 percent (62 million sq. ft.) in 2010 to 30
percent (178 million sq. ft.) by 201548. This sharp growth is expected to be driven by rising domestic and
EXIM freight volumes, increased outsourcing to 3PL players, strengthened investment in infrastructure,
organized retail and the impending implementation of Goods and Services Tax (GST).

CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATIONS
CONCLUSION:
Indian Logistics industry is continuously improving its performance in the global logistics
industry by improvement of customs, trade-related infrastructure, inland transit, logistics
services, information systems, and port efficiency help to provide trade goods and services on
time and at low cost. The World Bank's 2007th Global Logistics Report ranks India 39 amongst
150 countries in terms of logistics performance during the year as well as its future potential.
Indian Logistics industry has low performance than developed countries like USA, UK and
Singapore in global logistics sectors due inefficiency in logistics services and highest among the
low-income group countries. India spend in Logistics activities equivalent to 13 % of its GDP is
higher than that of developed countries.
The key reason is the relatively high level of inefficiency in the system with lower average
trucking speeds, higher turnaround time at ports and high cost of administrative delays. This can
be solves by a Warehouse Management System with an integrated RFID-based technology
that will improve the entire inventory handling process by providing an automated, systematic
and accurate warehouse management cycle that is error-free, efficient and updated real-time.
SUGGESTIONS & RECOMMODATIONS:
1. Installation of Warehouse Management System in CWC-ICD (ppg).
2. Integrated RFID-based technology that will improve the entire inventory handling
process.
Warehouse Management System can:
• Scan & verify deliveries as they are received-right on the dock
• Execute real-time inventory transactions, with full bin/serial/lot support
• Manage the picking process from a single screen - without the need to print pick tickets
• Verify Goods as they are packed & shipped, automatically generating bills of lading
• Automate the Billing Selection process
• Support a wide range of wireless radio frequency data collection devices to enable accurate,
efficient tracking of any product
Warehouse Management System (WMS) helps distributors, retailers, exporters/importers, and
3PL companies run more productive, efficient, and profitable warehouse operations. It helps
strengthening customer relationships, reduce operating expenses and increase warehouse and
distribution efficiencies. WMS is an intelligent investment that will bring instant accuracy in
warehouse operations and yield long-term financial benefits.
Proposed Solution:
The proposed solution is to create a Warehouse Management System with an integrated
RFID-based technology that will improve the entire inventory handling process by providing an
automated, systematic and accurate warehouse management cycle that is error-free, efficient and
updated real-time.
The warehouse performs four basic functions:
1. receiving of goods and other materials from a source,
2. inspection, storage, cross-docking and protection of goods,
3. retrieval of goods according to customer requirements,
4. preparation of goods for shipping and transportation.
To illustrate, pallets, cases, cartons and all other storage items in the warehouse will be RFID
tagged, plotting them in the system back-end. These tags are recognized by readers installed in
all the shelves, transporting equipments, and ingress and egress points in the warehouse. As a
result, all movements of goods within the warehouse are tracked and accounted, use of space,
equipment and labor is maximized, and retrieval of goods as needed becomes systematic- all
these contributing to increased customer service, productivity level, and warehouse utilization.
• RFID is 15-20 times faster than manual and barcode processes for inventorying IT assets
• Some companies experience a 95% reduction in time using RFID
• The #1 RFID application being deployed is IT asset tracking
Tangible Benefits
This project can provide the company with tangible benefits that can quickly and dramatically
improve warehouse operations and increase material management efficiencies without adding
headcount. By implementing an RFID-based WMS, the company will achieve a number of
significant benefits.
That includes the following:
• Reduced warehouse labor costs
• Reduced clerical labor costs
• Reduced overtime costs
• Reduced of physical inventories
• Lower shipping/freight costs
• Lower costs to rectify errors
• Reduced equipment costs
Intangible Benefits:
• Increase in organizational transparency and responsibility.
• Accurate and faster access to data for timely decisions.
• A wider reach in terms of vendors, thus producing more competitive bids.
• Improvement in customer response time.
• Significant decrease in time and effort needed in data entry.
• More controls thereby lowering the risk of inappropriate utilization of resources
Major Obstacles:
The following are the challenges that are highly likely to be experienced related to creating and
implementing this system:
• The transition from a manual to an automated system will require extensive preparation
specifically on the operations-side. Flows and processes should be thoroughly examined to
ensure that the implementation of this wireless technology does not hamper operations,
supply-chain and warehouse management in place.
• Alignment of the RFID WMS with the primary business software must be rolled-out.
• Procurement of equipment such as RF/barcodes scanners, portable as well as heavy duty
printers, and the appropriate type of labels must be done after careful selection from various
options, taking into consideration the adaptability of existing systems and software.
RISK FOR IMPLEMENTATION:
Although the implementation of an RFID WMS will greatly benefit key areas, there are still risks
associated with the system. Primarily, if the RFID tags fail, the system will not be able to track
the movements of goods inside the warehouse. Moreover, the following issues are considered
risks:
DEAD AREAS AND ORIENTATION PROBLEMS: RFID works similar to the way a cell
phone or wireless network does. Like these technologies, there may be certain areas that have
weaker signals or interference.
PROXIMITY ISSUES: RFID tags cannot be read well when placed on metal or liquid objects
or when these objects are between the reader and the tag
HIGH COST: Because this technology is still new, the components and tags are expensive
compared to barcodes.
UNREAD TAGS: When reading multiple tags at the same time, it is possible that some tags will
not be read and there is no sure method of determining this when the objects are not in sight.
VULNERABLE TO DAMAGE: Water, static discharge or high-powered magnetic surges
(such as lightning strike) may damage the tags.
KEY LEARNINGS AND FINDINGS
While preparing this corporate internship project report I have understand many things about the
Indian Banking Industry and learned about the followings:
1. Functions of logistics especially in warehouse management in an organization.
2. Significance of warehouse in import and export operations.
3. Activities and tasks performed by logistics sector organisation.
FINDINGS:
1. The logistics performance index shows the performance of country in the global
logistics industry, customs, trade-related infrastructure, inland transit, logistics
services, information systems, and port efficiency are all critical to whether countries
can trade goods and services on time and at low cost. Here India LPI score is 3.07
and secure 39th
position in the global logistics industry. As the share of Indian
Logistics Industry is more than the Mexico and less than the USA, UK and Singapore
witness that Indian Logistics industry is one of the growth drivers for Indian
economy.
2. In the global logistics sector India at the top position among the all the low income
group countries, that show that Indian Logistics sectors perform better among all the
low income countries or developing countries.
3. Logistics cost contribution of India in GDP is 13 % which shows the high logistics
cost of the Indian Logistics industry and also higher than the developed countries.
Due to the poor infrastructure and other logistics service is not better than the
developed countries like USA and Japan.

  • 15. INDUSTRY ANALYSIS LOGISTICS INDUSTRY IN INDIA India has become the prime destination for logistics service providers all over the world. The demand for logistics services in India has been largely driven by the remarkable growth of the economy. The growth is being projected at 9-10 per cent in next few years, with the CAGR(compounded annual growth rate) expected to grow at a rate of 7-8 per cent. This growth is expected to gain greater momentum due to the exponential growth of the Indian economy. India is also experiencing a big retail boom as the buying capacity of the middle and upper middle segment of the population has scaled new heights. Many large multinationals from the retail industry are planning to set up operation in India and large local retailers are also planning to expand their operations. But with the infrastructure largely under-developed and incapable of catering to a growing economy, logistics management in India becomes too complex. The poor condition of infrastructure directly translates to higher turnover, pushing up the operating costs and reducing efficiency. There are other problems such as complex regulatory compliance and limited adoption and utilization of technology, which has resulted in increased paperwork and inability to communicate effectively with customers. In spite of dismal infrastructural scenario, the hopes of the logistics sector are kept up by the various upcoming infrastructural projects like logistics parks and hubs and other initiatives by public and private sector. The future of the logistics sector depends not only on the continued development of infrastructure but also on the capability of the service providers in adapting themselves and making optimal utilization of technology. India is emerging as one of the world‘s leading consumer market with the raise of middle income group. Estimated at US$991 billion in 2020, Total consumption expenditure is expected to grow to nearly US$ 3.6 trillion in 2020. Food, housing & consumer durable and transport &communication are expected to be the top 3 categories, accounting for 65% of consumption in2020. The FMCG sector alone is expected to grow at a base rate of 12 % annually
  • 16. to become an INR 4000 billion industry by 2020. The logistics sector is expected to play an important role in accessing this emerging market and enabling this growth. INDUSTRY TRENDS Transportation: Container cargo represents only about 30% (by value) of India‘s external trade-much lower when compared with the global containerized cargo average of 70-75%. At a growth rate of 12%, India‘s container cargo traffic is estimated to reach 15 million TEUs by FY16E from about 7.5 million TEUs now (at 12 major ports). In comparison, China has created capacity at its ports to handle more than 100 million TEUs a year. Out of the 15 mn TEUs of total container traffic, we estimate EXIM rail container traffic to be 5 mn TEUs by FY16E. This would be a huge opportunity and will significantly benefit container rail operators. Rising investment in the rail and port spaces also fuels growth in allied industries like wagon manufacturing, port handling equipment, railway electrification systems and construction companies. To reduce the transportation cost and for quicker movement of cargo Multimodal transport operation is introduced (MTO). MTO helps exporters with less documentation for instance single document for all modes of transport. Third Party Logistics (3PL): Outsourcing is everywhere. Logistics industry is no exception. Logistics services like transportation, warehousing, cross docking, Inventory management, packaging and freight forwarding all are part of third party logistic services. Companies in India currently outsource an estimated of 52% of logistics. And 3PL industry is estimated to be US$1.5bn in FY14. 3PL represents only 1% of logistics cost emphasis its significance in the industry. Future is no doubt lying in outsourcing. As the growth in the 3PL market is expected to be in the range of 25-30% CAGR over FY11-14E. As of now, the 3PL activity is limited to only few industries like automotive, IT hardware, telecom and infrastructure equipment. The organized 3PL market in India can be categorized into three major segments – public sector, private sector and foreign
  • 17. entrants. Some of the major players in each category are: TVS logistics, DIESL (TATA), Panalpina, TCI, Gati, Allcargo, V Trans, Total, VRL and Reliance etc. Private Participation: The industry is becoming more competent with the entry of global giants like Gazeley Broekmen (Wal-Marts logistics partner), CH Robinson and Kerry logistics and large Indian corporate houses like Tata, Reliance and Bharti group. A series of mergers and acquisition like DHL acquired Blue Dart, TNT acquired Speed age Express Cargo Service and Fedex bought over Pafex, are also leading to consolidation industry at various levels and segments. Many of these companies are planning to broaden their areas of operation and are also planning to develop their own logistic parks across the country. If the trend continues as per the estimates, the market share of the organized logistics players is expected to double from 6% in2013 to approx. 12% by 2020. Express logistics: Organized players have monopoly over the express logistics industry. 65%of express business is in the hands of organized players, while semi-organized and unorganized players accounts for 25% and the remaining 10% of the market by EMS Speed Post. But altogether different picture can be witnessed in the domestic segment. In domestic front, unorganized players hold 41% of the market share based on price advantage. While organized players accounts for 45% and EMS Speed Post the remaining 14%. Warehouses: Recently, warehouses have become key growth drivers in the logistics industry. Apart from conventional storing services, warehouses now providing value-added services like consolidation and breaking up of cargo, packaging, labeling, bar coding and reverse logistics etc. warehousing and related activities account for approx. 20% of the total logistics industry. Most of the
  • 18. warehousing space in India lies with unorganized players in domestic front, which is causing wide supply and demand gap in storage space. According to KPMG, an additional120million square feet of warehousing space is needed by 2013 to bridge this gap. Currently, the organized warehousing industry in India has a capacity of approx. 80millionmetric tonnes and is growing at 35 to 40 per cent per annum. An investment of approximately US$ 500million is being planned by various logistics companies for the development of about45million square feet of warehouse space by 2013.Many players in this segment such as Multimodal Logistics Park, Mega Food Parks and Free Trade Warehousing Zones have planned next generation storage models. Logistic parks: About 110 logistics parks spread over approximately 3,500 acres at an estimated cost of $1 bn are expected to be operational and an estimated 45 mn ft2 of warehousing space with an investment of $ 500 mn is expected to be developed by various logistics companies by2020.Majority of these logistics parks are planned in close proximity to state capitals. However, availability of large land parcels at relatively low cost, connectivity to multiple markets across states and industrial clusters has led to the emergence of some tier-2 and tier-3 cities as favored destinations for the development of logistics parks and warehouses. Government Initiatives and regulations Initiatives: To emphasis the significance of transportation in logistics industry and to increase the competence in the sector government introduced private participation, especially in port sector. The major initiative in transport infrastructure is introduction of National Maritime Development Program (NMDP) with an investment of Rs 568bn. NMDP would be addressing the challenges of the growing international traffic demand of the country along with developing the port facilities at par with world standards. While liberalizing the railway services, government opened the doors of container business to the private parties. A total of 15 players immediately entered the market. FDI regulations In general 100% FDI under the automatic route is permitted for all logistic services FDI up to 100% subject to FIPB approval is permitted for courier services.
  • 19. FDI up to 49% under the automatic route is permitted for air transport services, including air cargo services. 100% FDI is permitted in Ports and Harbours under automatic route 100% FDI is permitted under the automatic route for storage and warehousing including warehousing of agricultural products with cold storage. 100% FDI is permitted in transport and transport support services through automatic route. Indian Logistics Industry- Future Trends There have been several key indicators to the future trend in the Indian logistics sector. The demand for logistics services has been largely driven by the remarkable growth of the Indian economy. Logistics spend in India is estimated to be around 13% of the GDP, which is comparatively higher than other developed countries. The air transport sector‘s contribution has been around 0.2 per cent of the country‘s GDP, while the transport sector‘s contribution to the GDP has been growing over the last couple of years. India‘s air cargo is predicted to grow at over CAGR of 11.5 per cent in the next few years. The contribution of the marine transport sector has also been around 0.2% to the country‘s GDP. The sector‘s contribution to the GDP has been increasing mostly because of the growing economic developments in the country. The role of the shipping industry in the growth of Indian economy has been very significant. Major ports in India together have handled around 500 million tonnes of cargo in the past two years and this figure is growing significantly. The Indian railways has realized the necessity to improve the infrastructure provide better service. The plan to develop Logistics Parks or hubs has the potential to streamline and optimize the supply chain and reduce the costs. Currently around 80% of the goods in India move by road, the railways has to essentially devise plans to divert this traffic to the rail. India‘s logistics sector attracted huge investments, leaving behind some of the major sectors including aviation, metals, and consumer durables. The growths in the retail and manufacturing industry, commodity markets and development of SEZs have been key factors in the growth of
  • 20. Indian logistics industry. Recent studies have indicated that the Indian logistics industry is expected to grow annually at the rate of 15 to 20%. A number of infrastructural projects involving warehouse and logistics parks are being undertaken are expected to be operational in the next 2-3 years. The setting up special economic zones (SEZs) has led to increased logistics activities around them. Several logistics parks have come up at locations like Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai and Hyderabad because of their excellent port, rail, and road connectivity and are witnessing significant investment in infrastructure. Many of the large logistics players are in the process of setting up warehouses, container freight stations (CFS), inland container depots(ICD), logistics parks, distribution centers and other facilities to leverage the abundant opportunities. Increase in foreign trade is expected to further accelerate the demand for logistics services. The future of the Industry is very bright and is sure to witness exponential growth in the coming years. The increased participation of both public and private sector is crucial for developing logistics and improving supply chain management. Not only do the logistics companies need to create efficient business to thrive in the logistics sector, but they also need to explore ways for investing energy, costs and time to grow a strong logistics system.

  • 23. Indian Logistics : Key Challenges 1. Geographical Coverage Insufficient : Insufficient distribution channels/infrastructure bottlenecks restrict the scope to reach consumers of products nationwide. 2. Over-burdened ports India has a long coastline. However, the country‘s port system isn‘t utilized properly. 70% of the seaborne trade is managed by 2-3 of its 12 major ports. Remaining 185 minor ports in the country are largely underutilized 3. Warehousing investment is low The infrastructure including roads, airports and seaports are preliminary the main target areas of investment. However, warehousing, a facilitator for the agricultural sector, has attracted lower investment that reduced its pace of growth in comparison to rising farm output 4. Technology Usage Technology usage is still very low in India, which restricts the scope of increasing efficiency and productivity 5. Cost/Quality of Service According to industry analysts, logistics costs in India are among the world‘s highest and outside of the metros and a few cities, the delivery time is very uncertain “Overburdened physical infrastructure is a major bottleneck currently faced by the Indian Logistics and Transportation players”
  • 24. Marketing mix in Logistics: Marketing logistics involve planning, delivering, and controlling the flow of physical goods to a market as well as the material and information necessary to meet customer demands. The demands of the customer must be met at a profit that increases revenue for the orginization. Maintaining an organization‘s competitive edge means understanding and implementing an effective marketing logistics strategy regarding product, price, place and promotion. These four functions of marketing logistics help the organization to reach the target customers and deliver the products or services PRODUCT Each customer can have individualized needs so the logistical services provided may vary from customer to customer. Regardless of these differences, the customers expects 100 percent conformance and assured reliability at all times with every transaction. The goals of this aspect of marketing logistics include filling the order, on-time delivery, precise invoicing and zero damage. PROMOTION Logistics industry to take people in favour through Word of mouth publicity, reliability showing through long years of establishment and other services. Corporation participated in various Exhibitions, Krishi Expos, Trade Fairs, etc., and prominent fairs. PRICE An organization bases pricing decisions on both internal and external factors. Marketing logistics must recognize price drivers. The profile of the customer, the product and the type of order are factors that drive the price. Discounts for quantities and the related logistical cost structure can impact the price the customer will ultimately pay for the product or service. Additional factors driving price include the shipping costs based on the size, weight and distance the organization will ship the item.
  • 25. PLACE The function of place in marketing logistics allows the organization to simplify the transactions between a logistics provider and the customer. The organization must execute logistics in such a way that the customer is not aware of the complexities involved in the logistics process. Also the location of the factory, warehouse and customer can greatly impact the marketing logistics process by increasing or reducing costs. For example, locating a factory in Bihar might reduce the labor costs associated with a product. However, at the same time locating the factory in Bihar might increase the shipping costs and negate any cost savings.

  • 32. The benefits would accrue in the form of: 1. Reduction in warehousing space requirement 2. Improvement in efficiency due to better inventory management 3. Reduction in transportation cost due to higher capacity utilization The segment is also gaining importance in other sectors such as Power, Infrastructure, IT hardware and FMCG. Threats Key Challenges faced by the Indian Logistics Sector 1. Logistics has historically been a high-cost, low-margin business. 2. Economies of scale are absent in the Indian logistics industry. Even the organized sector that contributes slightly more than 1% of the logistics cost, is highly fragmented. 3. Indian freight forwarders face stiff competition from multi-national freight forwarders for international freight movement. MNCs, because of their size and operations in many countries, are able to offer low freight rates and extend credit for long periods. Indian freight forwarders, on the other hand, because of their smaller size and lack of access to cheap capital, are not able to match the same. 4. Poor physical and communications infrastructure is another deterrent to attracting investments in the logistics sector. Road transportation accounts for more than 60% of inland transportation of goods, and highways that constitute 1.4% of the total road network, carry 40% of the freight movement by roadways. Slow movement of cargo due to bad road conditions, multiple check posts and documentation requirements, congestion at seaports due to inadequate infrastructure, bureaucracy, red-tapism and delay in government clearances, coupled with unreliable power supply and slow banking transactions, make it difficult for exporters to meet the deadlines for their international customers. 5. There is lack of skilled and knowledgeable manpower in the logistics sector. Management graduates do not consider logistics as a prime job.

  • 47. Analysis: Liquidity ratio: Current Ratio provides a margin of safety to the creditors. In a sound business, a current ratio of 2:1 is considered an ideal one. For CONCOR the current ratio explains that the constant relation between current assets and current liability but in the FY10 increased to 3.03:1 it indicate well liquidly position. Later in FY12 the level of inventories would be increased it stood at 4.15:1 is an ideal one. But CWC current ratio continuously decrease over four years but ratio cloud be remain same position that is safe liquidity. The company spent more resource for expands its operation over the upcoming years. Profitability ratios Profitability ratios show a company's overall efficiency and performance. The net profit margin is the ratio of net income (net profit) to sales, and indicates how much of each Rupees of sales is left over after all expenses. Having a higher value relative to a competitor's ratio or the same ratio from a previous period is indicative that the company is doing well. As CONCOR has higher ratio ,with a constant increment, whereas CWC profitability slightly down. Activity Ratios: Activity ratios are used to measure the relative efficiency of a firm based on its use of its assets, leverage or other such balance sheet items. These ratios are important in determining whether a company's management is doing a good enough job of generating revenues, cash, etc. from its resources. CONCOR activity ratio is decreased over the years because of completion in market and new government rules. But for CWC is constant over the year due to high capacity utilization of the warehouses.

  • 49. LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT - INTRODUCTION Logistics is the management of the flow of resources between the point of origin and the point of consumption in order to meet some requirements, for example, of customers or corporations. The resources managed in logistics can include physical items, such as food, materials, equipment, liquids, and staff, as well as abstract items, such as time, information, particles, and energy. The logistics of physical items usually involves the integration of information flow, material handling, production, packaging, inventory, transportation, warehousing, and often security. The complexity of logistics can be modeled, analyzed, visualized, and optimized by dedicated simulation software. The minimization of the use of resources is a common motivation 1. Seven R’s of logistics: a. Getting the right product, b. to the right customer, c. in the right quantity, d. in the right condition, e. at the right place, f. at the right time, g. with the right cost. Warehouse A warehouse is a large building where goods are stored, and where they may be catalogued, shipped, or received, depending upon the type. Though in the past, many warehouses, often located in industrial areas sometimes next to major shipping ports, were teeming with workers, the modern warehouse may be either completely or totally automated depending upon how advanced the company is. Sometimes a manufacturing facility also has an attached warehouse, where their manufactured goods are stored until shipped. It is a commercial building for storage of goods. Warehouses are used by manufacturers, importers, exporters, wholesalers, transport businesses, customs, etc. Logistics management is that part of the supply chain which plans, implements and controls the efficient, effective, forward and backward (reverse) flow and storage of goods, services and information between the point of origin and the point of consumption in order to meet customers'
  • 50. requirements rather to the customers‘ delight. A professional working in the field of logistics management is called a logistician. Logistics, as a business concept, evolved only in the 1950s. This was mainly due to the increasing complexity of supplying one's business with materials, and shipping out products in an increasingly globalized supply chain, calling for experts in the field who are called Supply Chain Logisticians. This can be defined as having the right item in the right quantity at the right time at the right place for the right price and to the right target customers (consumer); and it is the science of process having its presence in all sectors of the industry. The goal of logistics work is to manage the fruition of project life cycles, supply chains and resultant efficiencies. Logistics is concerned with getting (or transmitting) the products and services where they are needed or when they are desired. It is difficult to accomplish any marketing or manufacturing without logistical support. It involves the integration of information, transportation, inventory, warehousing, material handling, and packaging. The operating responsibility of logistics is the geographical repositioning of raw materials, work in process, and finished inventories where required at the lowest cost possible. Origin and Definition of Logistics: The term "logistics" originates from the ancient Greek "λόγος" ("logos"—"ratio, word, calculation, reason, speech, oration"). Logistics is considered to have originated in the military's need to supply themselves with arms, ammunition and rations as they moved from their base to a forward position. In ancient Greek, Roman and Byzantine empires, there were military officers with the title ‗Logistikas‘ who were responsible for financial management and distribution of supplies. The Oxford English dictionary defines logistics as: ―The branch of military science having to do with procuring, maintaining and transporting material, personnel and facilities.‖ The American Council of Logistics Management defines logistics as―the process of planning, implementing and controlling the efficient and effective flow, and storage of goods, services and
  • 51. related information from the point of origin to the point of consumption for the purpose of conforming to customer requirements.‖ Objective of Logistics Management: The primary objective of logistics management is to effectively and efficiently move the supply chain so as to extend the desired level of customer service at the least cost. Thus, logistics management starts with ascertaining customers‘ needs till their fulfilment through product supplies. However, there are some definite objectives to be achieved through a proper logistics system. These can be described as follows: 1. Improving customer service: An important objective of all marketing efforts, including the physical distribution activities, is to improve the customer service. An efficient management of physical distribution can help in improving the level of customer service by developing an effective system of warehousing, quick and economic transportation, and maintaining optimum level of inventory. 2. Rapid Response: Rapid response is concerned with a firm's ability to satisfy customer service requirements in a timely manner. Information technology has increased the capability to postpone logistical operations to the latest possible time and then accomplish rapid delivery of required inventory. 3. Reduce total distribution costs: The cost of physical distribution consists of various elements such as transportation, warehousing and inventory maintenance, and any reduction in the cost of one element may result in an increase in the cost of the other elements. Thus, the objective of the firm should be to reduce the total cost of distribution and not just the cost incurred on any one element.
  • 52. 4. Generating additional sales: A firm can attract additional customers by offering better services at lowest prices. For example, by decentralizing its warehousing operations or by using economic and efficient modes of transportation, a firm can achieve larger market share. Also by avoiding the out-of-stock situation, the loss of loyal customers can be arrested. 5. Creating time and place utilities: The products are physically moved from the place of their origin to the place where they are required for consumption; they do not serve any purpose to the users. Similarly, the products have to be made available at the time they are needed for consumption. 6. Price stabilization: It can be achieved by regulating the flow of the products to the market through a judicious use of available transport facilities and compatible warehouse operations. By stocking the raw material during the period of excess supply and made available during the periods of short supply, the prices can be stabilized. 7. Quality improvement: The long-term objective of the logistical system is to seek continuous quality improvement. Total quality management (TQM) has become a major commitment throughout all facets of industry. If a product becomes defective or if service promises are not kept, little, if any, value is added by the logistics. Logistical costs, once expended, cannot be reversed. 8. Movement consolidation: Consolidation one of the most significant logistical costs is transportation. Transportation cost is directly related to the type of product, size of shipment, and distance.

It is desirable to achieve movement consolidation. Logistics Management Function Logistics is the process of movement of goods across the supply chain of the company. This process is consist of various functions, which have to be properly managed to bring effectiveness efficiency in the supply chain of organization. The major logistical function are shown in figure 1. Order processing: The starting point of physical distribution activities is the processing of customers‘ orders. In order to provide quicker customer service, the orders received from customers should be processed within the least possible time. Order processing includes receiving the order, recording the order, filling the order, and assembling all such orders for transportation, etc. the company and the customers benefit when these steps are carried out quickly and accurately. The error committed at this stage at times can prove to be very costly. Order processing activity consist of the following  Order checking in any deviations in agreed or negotiation terms Logistics Functions Order Processing Inventory Manage - ment Ware - housing Transpor- tation Material Handling & Storage Packaging Information Flow

Warehousing: Warehousing refers to the storing and assorting products in order to create time utility. The basic purpose of the warehousing activity is to arrange placement of goods, provide storage facility to store them, consolidate them with other similar products, divide them into smaller quantities and build up assortment of products. Generally, larger the number of warehouses a firm has the lesser would be the time taken in serving customers at different locations, but greater would be the cost of warehousing. Thus, the firm has to strike a balance between the cost of warehousing and the level of customer service. Major decision in warehousing is as follow:  Location of warehousing facility  Number of warehousing  Size of warehouse  Design of the building  Ownership of the warehouse 3. Inventory Management: Linked to warehousing decisions are the inventory decisions which hold the key to success of physical distribution especially where the inventory costs may be as high 15 as 30-40 per cent (e.g., steel and automobiles). No wonder, therefore, that the new concept of Just-in-Time- Inventory decision is increasingly becoming popular with a number of companies. The decision regarding level of inventory involves estimate of demand for the product. A correct estimate of
  • 55. the demand helps to hold proper inventory level and control the inventory costs. This is not only helps the firm in terms of the cost of inventory and supply to customers in time but also to maintain production at a consistent level. The major factors determining the inventory levels are: The firm‘s policy regarding the customer service level, Degree of accuracy of the sales forecasts, Responsiveness of the distribution system i.e., ability of the system to transmit inventory needs to the factory and get the products in the market. The cost inventory consists of holding cost (such as cost of warehousing, tied up capital and obsolescence) and replenishment cost (including the manufacturing cost). 4. Transportation: Transportation seeks to move goods from points of production and sale to points of consumption in the quantities required at times needed and at a reasonable cost. The transportation system adds time and place utilities to the goods handled and thus, increases their economic value. To achieve these goals, transportation facilities must be adequate, regular, dependable and equitable in terms of costs and benefits of the facilities and service provided. 5. Information: The physical distribution managers continuously need up-to-date information about inventory, transportation and warehousing. For example, in respect on inventory, information about present stock position at each location, future commitment and replenishment capabilities are constantly required. Similarly, before choosing a 16 carrier, information about the availability of various modes of transport, their costs, services and suitability for a particular product is needed. About warehousing, information with respect to space utilization, work schedules, unit load performance, etc., is required. In order to receive all the information stated above, an efficient management information system would be of immense use in controlling costs, improving services and determining the overall effectiveness of distribution. Of course, it is difficult to correctly assess the cost of physical
  • 56. distribution operations. But if correct information is available it can be analyzed systematically and a great deal of saving can be ensured. 6. Facilities: The Facilities logistics element is composed of a variety of planning activities, all of which are directed toward ensuring that all required permanent or semipermanent operating and support facilities (for instance, training, field and depot maintenance, storage, operational, and testing) are available concurrently with system fielding. Planning must be comprehensive and include the need for new construction as well as modifications to existing facilities. Facility construction can take from 5 to 7 years from concept formulation to user occupancy. It also includes studies to define and establish impacts on life cycle cost, funding requirements, facility locations and improvements, space requirements, environmental impacts, duration or frequency of use, safety and health standards requirements, and security restrictions. Also included are any utility requirements, for both fixed and mobile facilities, with emphasis on limiting requirements of scarce or unique resources. Warehouse Market Analysis In recent times, the Indian warehousing segment in India has evolved significantly, resulting in a gradual metamorphosis from the traditional concept of godowns to modern formats. Further, interest and traction in the potential advantages that free-trade warehousing zones (FTWZs) offer has increased. The demand for warehousing services in India was estimated at approximately INR245–270 billion in 2011–1246. The market consists of industrial and agricultural warehousing, with both segments expected to witness a significant evolution in their shares (by value) over the next five years. The share of the industrial segment, which includes both bulk and non-bulk commodities, is expected to increase from about 86 percent in 2010–11 to around 90 percent in 2015–16.47
  • 57. This is likely to be at the cost of a corresponding decrease in the share of agricultural warehousing. In contrast to the industrial warehousing segment, which is highly fragmented, the agricultural warehousing segment is dominated to the extent of two-thirds by government entities. These include the Food Corporation of India, the Central Warehousing Corporation and all State Warehousing Corporations. This trend is likely to vary relatively less in the next few years. Emergence of modern warehousing formats The demand for industrial warehousing space is estimated to have grown from around 391 million sq. ft. in 2010 to 476 million sq. ft. in 2013, at a CAGR of 6.8 percent.
  • 58. Among the analyzed sectors, the highest growth is expected from engineering goods, and IT, electronics and telecommunications sectors, estimated to grow at CAGRs of about 8.6 and 8.2 percent, respectively, during 2010–13. The other analyzed sectors are estimated to witness growth in the range of 5.7 to 7.1 percent48. The share of modern warehousing is anticipated to grow from 15 percent (62 million sq. ft.) in 2010 to 30 percent (178 million sq. ft.) by 201548. This sharp growth is expected to be driven by rising domestic and EXIM freight volumes, increased outsourcing to 3PL players, strengthened investment in infrastructure, organized retail and the impending implementation of Goods and Services Tax (GST).

CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATIONS CONCLUSION: Indian Logistics industry is continuously improving its performance in the global logistics industry by improvement of customs, trade-related infrastructure, inland transit, logistics services, information systems, and port efficiency help to provide trade goods and services on time and at low cost. The World Bank's 2007th Global Logistics Report ranks India 39 amongst 150 countries in terms of logistics performance during the year as well as its future potential. Indian Logistics industry has low performance than developed countries like USA, UK and Singapore in global logistics sectors due inefficiency in logistics services and highest among the low-income group countries. India spend in Logistics activities equivalent to 13 % of its GDP is higher than that of developed countries. The key reason is the relatively high level of inefficiency in the system with lower average trucking speeds, higher turnaround time at ports and high cost of administrative delays. This can be solves by a Warehouse Management System with an integrated RFID-based technology that will improve the entire inventory handling process by providing an automated, systematic and accurate warehouse management cycle that is error-free, efficient and updated real-time. SUGGESTIONS & RECOMMODATIONS: 1. Installation of Warehouse Management System in CWC-ICD (ppg). 2. Integrated RFID-based technology that will improve the entire inventory handling process. Warehouse Management System can: • Scan & verify deliveries as they are received-right on the dock • Execute real-time inventory transactions, with full bin/serial/lot support • Manage the picking process from a single screen - without the need to print pick tickets • Verify Goods as they are packed & shipped, automatically generating bills of lading • Automate the Billing Selection process
  • 66. • Support a wide range of wireless radio frequency data collection devices to enable accurate, efficient tracking of any product Warehouse Management System (WMS) helps distributors, retailers, exporters/importers, and 3PL companies run more productive, efficient, and profitable warehouse operations. It helps strengthening customer relationships, reduce operating expenses and increase warehouse and distribution efficiencies. WMS is an intelligent investment that will bring instant accuracy in warehouse operations and yield long-term financial benefits. Proposed Solution: The proposed solution is to create a Warehouse Management System with an integrated RFID-based technology that will improve the entire inventory handling process by providing an automated, systematic and accurate warehouse management cycle that is error-free, efficient and updated real-time. The warehouse performs four basic functions: 1. receiving of goods and other materials from a source, 2. inspection, storage, cross-docking and protection of goods, 3. retrieval of goods according to customer requirements, 4. preparation of goods for shipping and transportation. To illustrate, pallets, cases, cartons and all other storage items in the warehouse will be RFID tagged, plotting them in the system back-end. These tags are recognized by readers installed in all the shelves, transporting equipments, and ingress and egress points in the warehouse. As a result, all movements of goods within the warehouse are tracked and accounted, use of space, equipment and labor is maximized, and retrieval of goods as needed becomes systematic- all these contributing to increased customer service, productivity level, and warehouse utilization. • RFID is 15-20 times faster than manual and barcode processes for inventorying IT assets • Some companies experience a 95% reduction in time using RFID • The #1 RFID application being deployed is IT asset tracking
  • 67. Tangible Benefits This project can provide the company with tangible benefits that can quickly and dramatically improve warehouse operations and increase material management efficiencies without adding headcount. By implementing an RFID-based WMS, the company will achieve a number of significant benefits. That includes the following: • Reduced warehouse labor costs • Reduced clerical labor costs • Reduced overtime costs • Reduced of physical inventories • Lower shipping/freight costs • Lower costs to rectify errors • Reduced equipment costs Intangible Benefits: • Increase in organizational transparency and responsibility. • Accurate and faster access to data for timely decisions. • A wider reach in terms of vendors, thus producing more competitive bids. • Improvement in customer response time. • Significant decrease in time and effort needed in data entry. • More controls thereby lowering the risk of inappropriate utilization of resources Major Obstacles: The following are the challenges that are highly likely to be experienced related to creating and implementing this system:
  • 68. • The transition from a manual to an automated system will require extensive preparation specifically on the operations-side. Flows and processes should be thoroughly examined to ensure that the implementation of this wireless technology does not hamper operations, supply-chain and warehouse management in place. • Alignment of the RFID WMS with the primary business software must be rolled-out. • Procurement of equipment such as RF/barcodes scanners, portable as well as heavy duty printers, and the appropriate type of labels must be done after careful selection from various options, taking into consideration the adaptability of existing systems and software. RISK FOR IMPLEMENTATION: Although the implementation of an RFID WMS will greatly benefit key areas, there are still risks associated with the system. Primarily, if the RFID tags fail, the system will not be able to track the movements of goods inside the warehouse. Moreover, the following issues are considered risks: DEAD AREAS AND ORIENTATION PROBLEMS: RFID works similar to the way a cell phone or wireless network does. Like these technologies, there may be certain areas that have weaker signals or interference. PROXIMITY ISSUES: RFID tags cannot be read well when placed on metal or liquid objects or when these objects are between the reader and the tag HIGH COST: Because this technology is still new, the components and tags are expensive compared to barcodes. UNREAD TAGS: When reading multiple tags at the same time, it is possible that some tags will not be read and there is no sure method of determining this when the objects are not in sight. VULNERABLE TO DAMAGE: Water, static discharge or high-powered magnetic surges (such as lightning strike) may damage the tags.

Functions of logistics especially in warehouse management in an organization. 2. Significance of warehouse in import and export operations. 3. Activities and tasks performed by logistics sector organisation. FINDINGS: 1. The logistics performance index shows the performance of country in the global logistics industry, customs, trade-related infrastructure, inland transit, logistics services, information systems, and port efficiency are all critical to whether countries can trade goods and services on time and at low cost. Here India LPI score is 3.07 and secure 39th position in the global logistics industry. As the share of Indian Logistics Industry is more than the Mexico and less than the USA, UK and Singapore witness that Indian Logistics industry is one of the growth drivers for Indian economy. 2. In the global logistics sector India at the top position among the all the low income group countries, that show that Indian Logistics sectors perform better among all the low income countries or developing countries. 3. Logistics cost contribution of India in GDP is 13 % which shows the high logistics cost of the Indian Logistics industry and also higher than the developed countries. Due to the poor infrastructure and other logistics service is not better than the developed countries like USA and Japan.
