CNT Ltd is into manufacture of Citrus based fruit drinks. The main raw material product is procured locally for the four factories situated in Agra, Pune, Vishakhapatnam and Cochin to support distribution across India. the sales are controlled from Head office in New Delhi and branches all over India. The distribution network is based on centralized orders issued from Delhi and this created a lot of time being wasted in providing storage and distribution orders.
The company has a order system based on the reports submitted by Sales Officers for their location. The Sales officers have to check with Finance to ensure when their orders have been dispatched and when it will reach the distribution centers. The Factory Managers have reported that they have to wait for orders to dispatch which is very large, whereas they have to sit with the huge inventory. They have expressed space shortage for FG (Finished Goods) Inventory. Whereas the Sales officers are complaining that they are not getting the orders executed. Small orders are not taken on priority. This has affected the Receivables also since there is no clear policy on order closure.

You have studied the system and want to bring in the changes by way of implementing Scientific Inventory and Distribution Management system and handling order handling process. You found that there are duplication of the products and no proper routes are planned. This could have been avoided if the dispatch had information on availability of products.
