Q.5 HUL has 100 plants (geographically spread throughout India) where a
number of different product lines are manufactured and supplied to 50 odd
depots that are geographically spread throughout India. To improve
responsiveness and simultaneously to reduce costs, HUL has come up with
the concept of regional depots. The company has four regional depots (one
in each zone of the country) and all slow-moving items are first brought to
regional depots from which the entire basket of slow-moving goods is
shipped to 50 odd depots. One of the management trainees has suggested
that HUL should redesign its supply chain (for slow-moving items). He has
come with the following two options:
? Have only one central depot at Nagpur (centre of India) and serve
the entire 50 depots from one central depot for all slow-moving
items.
? Have four regional depots but each depot should specialize and
stock only selected items that gets produced from all the plants that
are located in that zone. So all depots will get served from four
regional depots for slow-moving items (instead of the current
arrangement where each depot is served from the closest regional
depot for all slow-moving items). Each of the slow-moving items
will get stocked at only one of the four regional depots.
Critically analyze the above two options.
