CM Logistics is an expert in providing inbound logistics to, for example, the automotive industry, and electronic industry. Service extends beyond transportation and warehousing and includes: Kitting We manage the selection, packaging and delivery of unassembled parts prior to the assembly line, with the goal of minimizing production and installation time. We integrate the kitting process into our warehouse operations so that the process becomes a seamless part of the inbound supply chain. Milk runs We optimize transportation flows, called milk runs, by performing multiple collection or delivery routes for customers in the same industry. Instead of arranging for transport from location A to location B and back, we plan fixed routes with various loading/unloading points, combining the required orders from different customers at the same time. This ensures optimal use of vehicle capacity and lower transportation costs. Customers benefit from more frequent deliveries at a lower cost. Sequencing Through our sequencing services, we arrange for items destined for a production line to be picked (and packed) in a specific sequence. By doing this, time is saved and production-line efficiency is improved.

EXIM FTP, Annual supplement

Mr.KAMAL NATH MINISTER OF COMMERCE & INDUSTRY GOVERNMENT OF INDIA had issue this Annual supplement 2008.

Original ANNUAL SUPPLEMENT 2008 TO FOREIGN TRADE POLICY 2004-09 FOREWORD Four years ago we had announced Indias first ever integrated Foreign Trade Policy for the period 2004-09. At that time we had indicated two major objectives s, namely (a) to double our percentage of global merchandise trade within 5 years, and (b) to use trade expansion as an effective instrument of economic growth and employment generation. I am pleased to say that our achievements have exceeded our expectations. Not only have we fulfilled our promises in substantial measure, but we have achieved these remarkable results in just four years, instead of five. In 2004 our exports stood at a little over US $ 63 billion. In 2007-08, they have exceeded US $ 155 billion; our exports are not just double what they were 4 years ago, but 2 times that. We have managed an average cumulative annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23%, year on year, way ahead of the average growth rate of international trade. Our total merchandise trade exports and imports together will be almost US $ 400 billion this past year, accounting for nearly 1.5% of world trade. If the trade in services is added to this, our commercial engagement with the world would be in the region of US $ 525 billion.

We have delivered on our second objective as well: that of fashioning trade into an instrument of economic growth and employment generation. Our total trade in goods and services is now equivalent to almost 50% of our GDP. This is unprecedented in Indias modern economic history. On the issue of employment, it is our estimate that during the last 4 years increased trade activity has created 136 lakh new jobs. I have always maintained that exports are not just about earning foreign exchange but about boosting our manufacturing sector, creating large scale economic activity and generating fresh employment opportunities. What is more remarkable about all these achievements is that they have been accomplished in the face of appreciation of the rupee (by more than 12% in the last year alone), high interest rates, spiraling oil prices, withdrawal of some GSP benefits to India by other countries and general international economic slowdown in some of our major trade markets. In spite of all this our exporters have shown great resilience. For this, they deserve our congratulations. It is in this context that I am happy to present the final Annual Supplement to the Foreign Trade Policy for 2004-2009. In this Supplement, we have proposed several innovative steps, which include the following: i) To promote modernization of our manufacturing and services exports, the import duty under the EPCG scheme is being reduced from 5% to 3%. ii) Refund of tax on a large number of services relating to exports has already been announced by the Government. A few remaining issues regarding refund of service tax on exports would also be resolved soon. iii) Income tax benefit to 100% EOUs available under Section 10B of Income Tax Act is being extended for one more year, beyond 2009. iv) Sports and toys are mainly produced by our unorganized labour intensive sector. To promote export of these items and also to compensate disadvantages suffered by them, an additional duty credit of 5% over and above the credit under Focus Product Scheme is being provided.

v)

Our export of fresh fruits and vegetables and floriculture suffers from high incidence of freight cost. To neutralize this disadvantage, an additional credit of 2.5% over and above the credit available under VKGUY is proposed.

vi)

Interest relief already granted for sectors affected adversely by the appreciation of the rupee is being extended for one more year.

vii)

The DEPB scheme is being continued till May 2009.

We still face many structural problems, which need to be addressed. We have to plan an integrated strategy to tackle these issues. We need to develop world class infrastructure. We need to encourage e-commerce, and to facilitate trade through EDI such that turn-around time at ports, airports, Inland Container Depots and Land Custom Stations match world standards. We cannot rest our laurels in terms of trained manpower. We need to establish a chain of sector-specific skill development institutes. Early implementation of a single Goods and Services Tax (GST) would enable simultaneous reimbursement of duties and taxes in line with governments policy that these should not be exported.

LOGISTICS Logistics defined Logistics is defined as the broad range of activities concerned with effective and efficient movement of semi-finished or finished goods from one business to another and from manufacturers/distributors/retailers to the end consumers. The activities within the sphere of logistics include freight transportation, warehousing, material handling, protective packaging, inventory control; order processing, marketing, forecasting, and customer service. The Council of Logistics Management (CLM) has also formulated the following definition of logistics with a flow and process orientation. The process of planning, implementing, and controlling the efficient, cost-effective flow and storage of raw materials, in-process inventory, finished goods, and related

information and financials from point of origin to point of consumption for the purpose of conforming to customer requirements
LOGISTIC MANAGEMENT A. Push Versus Pull Strategy: A promotion strategy that calls for using the sales force and trade promotion to push the product through the channel is called push strategy. The producer promotes the product to wholesalers, the wholesalers promote to retailers and the retailers promote to consumers. While the pull strategy is the promotional strategy that calls for spending a lot on advertising and consumer promotion to build up consumer demand; if successful, consumer will ask their retailers for the product, the retailer will ask the wholesalers and wholesalers will ask the producers. So these are two strategies through which availability of products can be created in the market for final consumers. B. Physical Distribution and Logistics Management Companies must decide on the best way to store, handle, and move their products and services so that they are available to customers in the right assortments, at the right time, and in the right place. Logistics effectiveness has a major impact on both customer satisfaction and company costs. Here we consider the nature and importance of marketing logistics, goals of the logistics system, major logistics functions, and the need for integrated logistics management. a. Nature and Importance of Physical Distribution and Marketing Logistics To some managers, physical distribution means only trucks and warehouses. But modern logisticsis much more than this. Physical distributionor marketing logisticsinvolves planning,implementing, and controlling the physical flow of materials, final goods, and related informationfrom points of origin to points of consumption to meet customer requirements at a profit. Inshort, it involves getting the right product to the right customer in the right place at the right time.Traditional physical distribution typically started with products at the plant and then tried to findlow-cost solutions to get them to customers. However, today's marketers prefer market logisticsthinking, which starts with the marketplace and works backward to the factory. Logistics addresses not only the problem of outbound distribution (moving products from the factory to customers)but also the problem of inbound distribution (moving products and materials from suppliers to the It involves the management of entire supply chains, value-added flows from suppliers to final users. b. Goals of the Logistics System.Some companies state their logistics objective as providing maximum customer service at the least cost.

KEY TERMS (Lesson # 28-29) Distribution channel

A set of interdependent organizations involved in the process of making a product or service available for use or consumption by the consumer or business user. Channel level A layer of intermediaries that performs some work in bringing the product and its ownership closer to the final buyer.

Corporate VMS A vertical marketing system that combines successive stages of production and distribution under single ownershipchannel leadership is established through common ownership. Contractual VMS A vertical marketing system in which independent firms at different levels of production and distribution join together through contracts to obtain more economies or sales impact than they could achieve alone.

Franchise organization A contractual vertical marketing system in which a channel member, called a franchiser, links several stages in the production-distribution process. Administered VMS vertical marketing system that coordinates successive stages of production and distribution, not through common ownership or contractual ties but through the size and power of one of the parties. Horizontal marketing system A channel arrangement in which two or more companies at one level join together to follow a new marketing opportunity. Hybrid marketing channel Multi channel distribution system in which a single firm sets up two or more marketing channels to reach one or more customer segments. Intensive distribution Stocking the product in as many outlets as possible.

Exclusive distribution Giving a limited number of dealers the exclusive right to distribute the company's products in their territories. Selective distribution The use of more than one, but fewer than all, of the intermediaries who are willing to carry the company's products. Physical distribution (or marketing logistics) The tasks involved in planning, implementing, and controlling the physical flow of materials, final goods, and related information from points of origin to points of consumption to meet customer requirements at a profit. Distribution center A large, highly automated warehouse designed to receive goods from various plants and suppliers, take orders, fill them efficiently, and deliver goods to customers as quickly as possible. Integrated logistics management The logistics concept that emphasizes teamwork, both inside the company and among all the marketing channel organizations, to maximize the performance of the entire distribution system. Third-party logistics provider An independent logistics provider that performs any or all of the functions required to get their clients' product to market.

Logistics and its Importance in the Indian Context Logistics is about moving materials, information and funds from one business to another business or from a business to the consumer. Logistics is an important part of the business-economic system and is a major global economic activity. In fact, 10-

15% of product costs are logistics related. World wide logistics is about 2 Trillion US dollars. For any country, the logistics cost are estimated to be between 9 20% of GDP. Logistics is a necessary evil to move the material from the seller to the buyer and there is generally no value addition to the product. Hence efficiency and cost effectiveness provide competitive advantage. Over the last decade, the logistics costs have come down from 15% to 9% in the USA. In olden days logistics was local, involving storage and material movement from one city to another city by train or truck. The lowering of trade barriers by various countries, combined with rapid advances in global transportation and information technology, has led to the proliferation of global manufacturing networks. Now manufacturing and services are global to take advantage of low cost wage structures and also to reach the local markets. In global manufacturing of this kind, components may be sourced from several countries, assembled in yet another country, and distributed to the customers all over the world. Information transfer regarding the location and status of moving inventory, payments and also the customs paper work plays a big role in efficient logistics. These networks are not generally under single ownership but are group formations of independent companies in alliance for a specific and special purpose. They compete with similar cooperating networks. Such networks are common in all industrial sectors including the automobile, pharmaceutical, and aero-space, electronics, computer, food, and apparel industries. Thus, logistics and supply chain management are of fundamental importance to any economy. Since logistics involves global movement of materials, information and funds from country to country it requires excellent state of the art country infrastructure such as airports, sea ports, Internet and other IT and finance related facilities. Having good logistics infrastructure and culture is becoming a prerequisite for attracting global manufacturing and service companies in to the country. Logistics Growth Strategies

While logistics is generally given importance in manufacturing, it has a vital and important role to play in agriculture and service industries. In this paper, we make the following important points. 1. In India manufacturing accounts for 25% of GDP, about USD 125 Billion and provides employment for 16% of the population. In other developing economies it is generally 40% of GDP. Recently there is a debate, following the success of IT companies in the global markets, whether India should jettison manufacturing and concentrate on IT and other service sectors. We strongly believe, however, that CII Logistics 2003 Theme Paper this is based on wrong premises and that on the other hand a ten-fold growth in manufacturing will be very important for India. We cite the following reasons in support. a. 75% of Indias working population (600m) has education middle school or below. Only Labour intensive manufacturing and related services can generate employment in adequate numbers b. Experience of Europe, America, Japan, the Tiger economies, and now China shows that Wealth creation is possible only through International trade oriented manufacturing. More importantly, it is essential for India to increase its proportion of Global GDP through growth in all the three sectors of the economy. It has currently 1/6 of population and 1/60 of the global GDP. Planned or wild, growth is essential and important. This could be through attracting MNCs to India or through Indian companies becoming MNCs and raising funds through NASDAQ or large number of small companies raising capital from international venture sources. 2. With products being uniform, standardized and commoditized: same colas, same PCs, same hand phones sold throughout the world, the logistics has become a dominant part of the competitiveness equation. In future, all competitive supply chains will have aggressive and excellent logistics partners. A well articulated logistics strategy is a must for India. While it may take decades to develop state of- the-art air, rail, road and shipping

infrastructure, it is necessary immediately to develop appropriate supply chain clusters to support the three sector of the economy. A supply chain cluster is a geographically concentrated, self flourishing ecosystem comprising of production systems, shippers, logistics service providers, IT vendors, infrastructure providers, regulatory agencies, research institutions, consultants and other logistics-related organizations that leverages on the interdependencies between them to provide highly efficient and effective logistics solutions and create innovative new solutions. Simultaneous development of the supply chain cluster companies is possible with careful planning and aggressive marketing to attract MNCs in manufacturing and third party Logistics providers (3PLs). This is important since they bring with them global experiences and also provide the obvious economies of scale advantages. 3. As we said before, logistics in direct supply chains: raw material to product delivery to the customer is given importance throughout the world. Logistics is equally important in other two sectors of the economy i.e. Agriculture and Service sectors. The techniques of supply chain management developed for manufacturing are also directly applicable in case of agriculture. a. Improving distribution efficiency of the agri-supply chain from farmer to end consumer through intermediaries such as regional agents, wholesalers, fair price shops, retail stores and distributors. Mapping the supply chain and using IT for providing the visibility along the supply chain will improve the efficiencies by orders of magnitude. b. Manufacture and distribution of fertilizers and farm equipment c. Transformation of produce into processed and canned food and their subsequent distribution to consumers and storage along the way. Use of procurements kind of techniques in restaurants and in food courts CII Logistics 2003 Theme Paper

4. In the service sector, the opportunities are innumerable. In health care, construction industry, Infrastructure building, and in retailing logistics can play an important and pivotal role to improve the service levels. a. In retail services, goods sold through stores are delivered through an elaborate network of distributors and logistics services. b. Trade finance services provided by banks complement transportation services provided by 3PLs. c. Healthcare services involve coordination between multiple parties of doctors, hospitals, pharmacists, medical equipment manufacturers, etc. These interactions and processes are logistics-based. In clinical trials, drugs and patient samples are exchanged between multiple patients and research institutes. d. Storage and timely distribution of spare parts for repair and maintenance of heavy machinery and equipment is an important element of after-sales service ensuring reliable performance. Opportunities specific to India A number of opportunities, specific to the Indian context, present themselves to enterprising companies. Some of these opportunities are related to addressing national concerns while others would enable the Indian economy to be internationally competitive. 1. Outsourcing, Research & Development of IT enabled Logistics: India is a globally acknowledged IT powerhouse. This strength must be exploited by Indian companies to develop specific capabilities in IT-enabled Logistics such as the development and management of logistics planning and coordination systems. Leading Indian IT companies can complement their IT expertise with logistics domain knowledge to develop 4PL capabilities for global manufacturing and service industries. 2. Logistics for Large Infrastructure and Engineering Projects: The recent focus on infrastructure has given birth to a wave of projects such as the construction of airports, seaports, industrial parks and national highways. Often such

projects run into costly time and budget overruns. These overruns can however be easily reined in through proper logistics management and coordination of various activities. 3. IT systems for International Trade Logistics: One of the key contributing factors for the inefficiencies of the Indian manufacturing and logistics sector is the complexity of the international trade documentation process.

Internationally, pioneering countries such as Singapore and Hong Kong have implemented automated trade systems such as Trade Net and Digital Trade Transportation Network for trade documentation and customs permit applications. The UN has estimated that such systems can save up to 3% of import value through efficiencies resulting from automated and standardized trade documentation. Such systems would make Indian goods more competitive globally. CII Logistics 2003 Theme Paper

Conclusions India should recognize the extraordinary role logistics plays in economic development and in enhancing the competitiveness of all the three sectors of the economy. Given the emerging business and technological trends there are possibilities for the adoption of innovative logistics solutions specifically designed for India? In addition there is a requirement for an integrated strategy towards developing logistics and IT infrastructure and also enhancing its industry base. The resources needed for wholesale development takes enormous amounts of time and resources. A planned phased approach for Integrated Logistics in needed. Our Theme paper is an attempt at presenting such an approach. The success of todays market leaders such as Wal-Mart, Dell, Cisco and Toyota is primarily based on their superior operational and logistics capabilities. 2. ECONOMIC RELEVANCE OF LOGISTICS Even though logistics thinking and practice has progressed rapidly over the last few years, driven primarily by radical business and technological innovations, the true value and relevance of logistics in the business ecosystem is rarely appreciated. The

importance of logistics in the economy of a nation is established both, by the size of the logistics industry, and by its ability to transform and impact all three sectors of the economy, agricultural, manufacturing and services. In fact investments in logistics infrastructure and services have a multiplier effect on the entire economy of a nation. A good logistics network can reduce inventory levels in the industry, increase the market reach of companies and allow them to procure supplies from a larger base of suppliers. The importance of logistics in the economy of a nation is established both, by the size of the logistics industry, and by its ability to transform and impact all three sectors of the economy: Agriculture, Manufacturing and Services.

2.1 Size of the Logistics Industry Logistics is a major economic activity across the world. The global logistics industry is estimated at roughly over $2 trillion, with less than 5% outsourced worldwide. Logistics costs on average account for 10-15% of the final cost of the finished product in the developed world. These logistics costs, based on studies conducted in the United States include transportation costs which amount to 7-9% of the cost of the final product, warehousing costs in the range of 1-2% and inventory holding costs which are 3-5% of the final product cost. In the developing world, it is expected that logistics costs will be higher due to greater inefficiencies in logistics system and it is estimated that these costs are in the range of 15%-25% of the final cost of the product. In India the logistics costs are 13% of GDP (CII). Logistics in India differs from the developed nations in three important aspects. 1. Relatively small manufacturing base. 2. High logistics cost relative to the GDP. 3. The very low penetration of specialist 3PL providers in the country. 2.1.1 State of the Indian Logistics Industry These effects can be attributed to the lack of proper logistics infrastructure (both physical and infocomm), disorganized paper-based and manual processes, fragmented

supply chains and other systemic flaws in the country that have resulted in huge process in efficiencies. The lack of a countrywide infocomm B2B network and the poor. Conditions of roads results in capital being tied up in huge stockpiles of obsolete goods both in terms of moving inventory as well as at the factory sites. In addition, the mindset and culture of outsourcing logistics activities to capable thirdparty logistics service providers is just emerging. The lack of proper infrastructure has also resulted in the absence of world-class logistics service providers. In fact, there is no general awareness of standard logistics practices and due to the protected environment for Indian industries there was no incentive for

Companies to improve their operational performance till recently. A part of the reason is the lack of professionally competent logisticians. Furthermore, there has been limited concerted effort by the government to articulate an Industry growth policy and also to prioritize the formation of industry clusters and identification of their logistics needs. We will elaborate on this later in this paper Potential savings for India if logistics costs decrease by 1% are approximately $4.8 Billion per year. Table no.2 Table 1: State of Indian Logistics

However, if these systemic obstacles are overcome significant benefits can be reaped through the multiplier effect of better logistics on all economic sectors.

2.2 Logistics in the Three Sectors of the Economy Logistics sustains all three sectors agricultural, manufacturing and service - of the economy by providing life-supporting arteries that transport essential goods and services 2.2.1 Agriculture The agriculture sector comprises of a number of inter-related value chains. 1. Agriculture Value Chain: The agriculture supply chain starts with the farmer who harvests food crops. The farmer sells its harvest to intermediaries such as regional agents, who comprises of millers and end consumers wholesalers, who in turn sell to distributors, retail shops and fair price shops who distribute the produce to the end consumer.

2.

Supporting Manufacturing Services: The supporting value chain for agriculture comprises fertilizer producers and distributors, grain distributors, tractor, and farm equipment manufacturers. Logistics services play an important role in getting these goods to the farmer and in supporting the production of food crops. Financial institutions, Insurance agents, government agencies and other organizations play important supporting roles as well.

3.

Processed Food Value Chain: The processed food value chain is responsible for converting food grains into processed/canned foods and getting it within reach of end consumers. Increasingly ready-to-eat food products are being targeted by a number of large manufacturing and the retail distribution companies. Also, linking the chain restaurants with the grain producers can induce efficiencies.

Figure 1: Supporting Value Chain for Fertilizers

Typically, the Indian agricultural value chain is long and slow. In fact, in many cases the end distribution of food grains, fertilizers and other agricultural products and services is undertaken through bullock carts, hand carts. Given that these products are perishable and also subject to attacks by pests, it is important that transport and storage of these items is undertaken with care. Currently the chain is full of inefficiencies introduced by various partners along the chain. There is also a lot of wastage at the interfaces in the chain, as can be seen from the huge stockpiles of rotting food grains at warehouses across the country. It is also not uncommon to see expired food products reaching the retail shelf. Agricultural trading and financing activities are also closely tied up with the logistics of agricultural produce but are still not well understood in the Indian context. 2.2.2 Manufacturing Manufacturing today is driven by global demands and forces. Global manufacturing is characterized by the staged production of goods by multiple companies across multiple countries and regions. In a national context, components may be sourced from several different regions, assembled in another region, and distributed to customers across the country and even across the world. Logistics plays a critical role in coordinating procurement, manufacturing and distribution in such a distributed manufacturing environment. A well managed manufacturing logistics operation can help companies reduce the cost of transportation and minimize inventory, reducing the cost of inventory holding and freeing up capital. In fact leading companies have successfully employed logistics and integrated supply chain networks to minimize their costs and simultaneously improve and differentiate their product and service offerings to their customers. India has currently 1/6 of global population and 1/60 of the global GDP. Planned or wild, growth is essential and important. This could be through attracting MNCs to India or through Indian companies becoming MNCs and raising funds through NASDAQ or large number of small companies raising capital from international venture sources. Integrated Supply Chain Networks

An Integrated Supply Chain Network (ISCN) is a collection of independent companies, possessing complementary skills and integrated with streamlined material, information and financial flows, that work together to meet the market demand. The formation of an ISCN is typically driven by the most dominant company in the supply chain that is seeking to focus on its core competencies and leverage on the manufacturing and logistics expertise of other companies in the chain. We refer to these dominant companies as network owners. Network owners dictate the structure of the ISCN through their choice of companies constituting the ISCN and ensure proper coordination between them. In the automotive and hi-tech value chain the OEMs typically play the role of the network owner. In case of the retail value chain the distributor is the normally the network owner. 2.2.3 Services Sector Logistics-enabled service chains arise in a number of different contexts. The service sector amongst others comprises of the financial, healthcare, retail and the telecommunications industry. A number of processes in these industries are closely related to logistics. For example, the goods sold through retail stores are delivered through an elaborate network of manufacturers, distributors and logistics service providers. Trade finance services provided by financial institutions are

complementary to transportation services provided by logistics service providers. Healthcare services involve a tremendous amount of coordination between multiple parties of doctors, hospitals, pharmacists, medical equipment manufacturers, medical consumables manufacturers, etc., all managed through systematic management of patient records. Even though it might not be very obvious, on closer inspection it may be noticed that all these processes are logistics-based. Another manner in which logistics manifests itself in service industries is in the form of supporting after-sales repair and maintenance of goods and products. The after the sale service sector for aircrafts, automobiles, and other capital goods is a highly lucrative emerging business. Some of the after-sales services involving logistics include returns handling of defective goods, spare parts distribution for repair of spoilt items based on service level agreements, servicing of products over their entire life cycle and reverse logistics for disassembly and green disposal. The distribution and maintenance of adequate spare parts to ensure timely repair of spoilt goods for the customer, within promised service level agreements, is a very important logistical function. Such

services are often provided by manufacturers of automobiles, medical equipments, defense systems and airplanes. Manufacturing related service industries support after-sales repair and maintenance of products such as aircrafts and airplanes.

Evolution of Logistical Integration, 1960-2000

Fig no.3: evolution of logistics integration The evolution of logistics has been characterized by an increasing degree of integration, a trend that was underlined in the 1960s as a key area for future productivity improvements. However, only with the implementation of modern information and communication technologies did this assumption become possible. They allow for the integrated management and control of information, finance and goods flows and made possible a new range of production and distribution systems.

Step by step, and according to improvements in information and communication technologies, the two ends of the assembly line became integrated into the logistics of the supply chain: the timely supply of raw materials and components from outside, and the effective organization of distribution and marketing. High rack storages, which later became automatically driven, or the internal movement of packages by flat robots were early expressions of logistical engineering. Initially, logistics was an activity divided around the supplying, warehousing, production and distribution functions, most of them being fairly independent from the other. With the new organization and management principles, firms were following a more integrated approach, thus responding to the upcoming demand for flexibility without raising costs. At the same time, many firms took advantage of new manufacturing opportunities in developing countries. As production became increasingly fragmented, activities related to its management were consolidated. Spatial fragmentation became a by-product of economies of scale in distribution. From Push to Pull Logistics Freight distribution is within a paradigm shift between "manufacture-to-supply" or inventory-based logistics ("push" logistics) to "manufacture-to-order" or

replenishment-based logistics ("pull" logistics). The reliance is shifting from maintaining inventories aimed at approximately satisfy the demand to a comprehensive data collection system insuring, mainly through on-demand transport, that supply matches with demand. This trend is accelerated by logistics, namely a better integration between transport modes and inventory control. Of particular relevance to the logistics industry has been the emergence of major coordinators and integrators (third and fourth-party logistics providers) that will improve a part of the supply chain. While a push logistics system involves a limited level of integration between suppliers, manufacturers and distributors, a pull logistics system tries to achieve a higher level of efficiency through integration. Freight flows between components of the supply chain tend to be more frequent and in smaller batches. In addition, the sharing of demand dependant data (such as sales) helps better synchronize supply with demand. Reverse logistics also tends to be better integrated in the system to achieve a higher level of customer service as well as to promote environmental strategies such as recycling.

INTERNATIONAL MARKETING

International Marketing is simply the application of marketing principles to more than one country. However, there is a crossover between what is commonly expressed as international marketing and global marketing, which is a similar term. For the purposes of this lesson on international marketing and those that follow it, international marketing and global marketing are interchangeable.

Urgent requirement for "Marketing" in Freight Forwarding Company (International Client)

-Interact with international client. -Responsible for generating Sales from corporate clients to Traders across nation. -Building relationship with existing clients and developing their accounts by increasing the services provided to them. -Developing new client of Importers/Exporters for their courier and cargo needs and retaining them. -Handling sales and updating clients for Import/Export shipments. -Gathering market & customer information to provide the customers the best services.

Marketing research Market research is crucial to a corporations marketing process. I dont think anybody ought to be making marketing decisions without some form of research, because you can waste a lot of time and money. Marketing planning Your company needs a vision, the vision demands a strategy, the strategy requires a plan, and the plan requires action. A Japanese proverb says: Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare. You need to prepare a detailed marketing plan. But it makes more sense to call it a battle plan. Your plan should give you confidence that you will win the war before you engage in the first battle. If you arent introducing something better, newer, faster, or cheaper, you shouldnt enter the market. A marketing plan consists of six steps: situational analysis, objectives, strategy, tactics, budget, and controls. 1. Situational analysis. Here the company examines the macro forces (economic, political-legal, social-cultural, technological) and the actors (company, competitors, distributors, and suppliers) in its environment. The company carries out a SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats). But it should really be called a TOWS analysis (threats, opportunities, weaknesses, and strengths) because the ordering should be from the outside in rather than the inside out. SWOT may place an undue emphasis on internal factors and limit the identification of threats and opportunities to only those that fit the companys strengths. 2. Objectives. Based on identifying its best opportunities from its situational analysis, the company ranks them and sets goals and a timetable for achieving them. The company also sets objectives with respect to stakeholders, company reputation, technology, and other matters of concern. 3. Strategy. Any goal can be pursued in a variety of ways. It is the job of strategy to choose the most effective course of action for attaining objectives.

4.

Tactics. The strategy must be spelled out in great detail regarding the 4Ps and the actions that will be taken in calendar time by specific individuals who are to carry out the plan.

5.

Budget. The companys planned actions and activities involve costs that add up to the budget that it needs to achieve the objectives.

6.

Controls. The company must set review periods and measures that will reveal whether it is making progress toward the goal. When performance lags, the company must revise its objectives, strategies, or actions to correct the situation. To facilitate the planning process, your company should work out a standard plan format to be used by all the divisions and product groups. This will make it possible for the plans to be reviewed, compared, and evaluated by the planning or strategy office. One large multinational corporation has a planning office that scores the various plans before they are approved. The office applies such criteria as: Is the situational analysis fairly complete? Are the goals reasonable and reachable in the light of the situational analysis? Does the strategy seem adequate to deliver the stated goals? Are the tactics well aligned with the stated strategy? Is the expected return on investment sufficient and credible?

Deficient plans are returned to division or product groups for revision along suggested lines. The use of a standard software planning program enables the planners to quickly revise their plans in response to criticism or unforeseen circumstances. In an advanced case, a company builds a model to estimate how hypothetical revisions in its advertising budget, sales force size, or prices will affect sales and profits. The Hudson River Group, for example, has developed marketing strategy simulators for different companies to help guide the allocation of marketing resources to their best uses. The benefit of planning may lie less in the plan than in the process of planning. Dwight Eisenhower observed:

In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless but planning is indispensable. No battle plan survives the first battle. It will need constant revision as the battle proceeds. You may have to redesign your airplane while you are in the air. Make sure that you are not spending more time preparing plans than achieving results. Professor James Brian Quinn noted: A good deal of corporate planning . . . is like a ritual rain dance. It has no effect on the weather that follows. The battle plan is nothing unless it progresses into work. Plan your work and work your plan. Marketing plans will not produce a dollar of profit if you dont implement them. But dont confuse motion with action. Winning companies are those that do more of the right things (effectiveness) and do them better (efficiency).

Collection of new data base for feature prospect:A business cannot be run only on five or ten clients it needs no. of clients to run the business for that a company needs large no. of feature prospect to convert them in over clients before going farter we must know what is marketing by prospecting. Marketing by Prospecting: A system of using marketing tools with prospecting skills. It is a strategy designed primarily for the small to medium sized business that doesnt have a large marketing budget. Also, for divisions within large companies that simply dont get the big marketing dollars. Marketing by Prospecting first involves preparing the variety of marketing tools we use to grow our business. Then, the means we use to get these marketing tools in front of our potential customers is prospecting skills. Because the lines between Marketing and Prospecting tend to blur quickly, why not just face facts - our Marketing work requires Prospecting skills -hence, marketing by Prospecting.

By the way, the reverse also has implications here, prospecting by Marketing, but we will address that somewhat differently, more on that later. As I have been writing for the last few weeks, our efforts for Prospecting in the Global Marketplace involve all the tools used in both our marketing and prospecting programs. If you have a budget for running TV or mass media campaigns, this material is not for you. By Marketing we are trying to get the world to know about the products and services we offer. By Prospecting we are trying to reach the individuals in the world who can buy our products and services. With small budgets, Marketing by Prospecting can be a very effective use of our marketing dollars. The marketing materials tools that we create and use are usually Flyers, Brochures, Pamphlets, Newsletters, Websites, and even PowerPoint presentations. Two additional Marketing by prospecting tools that you should consider are Article writing and Public Speaking. Writing articles and having them published is really easy these days with the internet. Write about the various ways your products and services are being utilized to the benefit of your customers. There are dozens of web article submission services that will publish your articles and provide them to e-zines along with your contact information including your website. This may be the perfect way to get published, but realize there are 1,000s of others doing this, so we arent alone in this market. But it does get your name and information out there. I have had 15 articles published on 6 different submission sites in the last week and they are popping up all over the place.

I entered my name in Google, and found a lot of my articles listed. I dont have a feel yet for what this will generate business wise, but it is another marketing tool and it is absolutely FREE. If you are able to get published in the old style standard media, newspapers and magazines I suggest you take advantage of them. I know these take time and effort, but pursue this route if you like. The web submission can be done right now, so give both a shot. Speaking to association meetings, trade show conferences, corporate meetings, and other events may not be for everybody, but it is a tool I personally really like. You will need to prepare a speech, of course. Then your marketing materials will consist of a brief overview of the speech and short bio telling why you are the expert on this subject they should hear. Then you will need to use your Prospecting skills to get that one page document into the hands (or onto the computer screen) of the meeting planner, program chairman, or who ever books the speakers. Start off with small local groups, maybe ones in which you may be a member. So there you have it, the idea of Marketing by Prospecting. Hopefully it is something we can all use to grow our businesses using the tools of both skills.

To know the major destination from over to export and import do trading SECONDARY DATA: Secondary data was collected through magazines, research papers, internet etc.

RESEARCH INTRUMENTS QUESTIONNAIRE DESIGN: As the questionnaire is self administrated one, the survey is kept simple and user friendly. Words used in questionnaire are readily understandable to all respondent. Also technical jargons are use to ensure that there is no confusion for respondents. TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES OF ANALYSIS OF DATA STATISTICAL TOOLS:It is very difficult to have detailed knowledge of employees working in PNB. So the surveyor has taken 20 samples due to limited resources and time factor. The management ranks are working in different categories of different department. Thus it becomes equally justified to plan in such a way that it covers all departments. TOOLS:-

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS

After reviewing the logistic market in I reach to the conclusion that India should recognize the extraordinary role logistics plays in economic development and in enhancing the competitiveness of all the three sectors of the economy. Given the emerging business and technological trends there are possibilities for the adoption of innovative logistics solutions specifically designed for India?

Our Theme paper is an attempt at presenting such an approach. The success of todays market leaders such as Wal-Mart, Dell, Cisco and Toyota is primarily based on their superior operational and logistics capabilities. Indian logistic in export & import should develop for feature business that is bright and challenging.

LIMITATIONS
The Indian logistics industry suffers from inadequate infrastructure, complex tax laws and insufficient technological aids, which acted as a limitation while conducting the study. The Indian logistics market is not sophisticated from an infrastructural and procedural point of view. The logistics industry in India is still at a developing stage. Because of huge potential & less service providers the commitment level plays an important role in this industry. The work force in this industry is less educated & not well trained. Companys dose not gives time for questionnaire & tries to avoid the answer many times. I am having time limitations, money and lack of resources I am not able to collect information from large number company. This survey is held in some specific sector company only.
