KE IN INDIA concept will bring new trend in supply chain function. Instead of conventionally plant level production planning it is better to focus on demand DRIVEN model, which is more customer centric. This will also have a telling effect on Inventory holding of the company. In the PRESENT, global business environment, most impacted area is supply chain. Sourcing of material, manufacturing, distribution, invoicing, have all been significantly impacted by the increased integration of global customer and suppliers.
