YNOPSIS
The main objectives of our research were to study supply chain management practices in an organization of our choice. The organization we selected to study
For the purpose of our research we interviewed Mr. Tanveer ul hassan: Logistic Executive Tapal and were able to clearly see the important aspects of how this particular organization behaves, we came to know what kind of a hierarchical structure is followed in this organization, how fluid are the lines of communication among the management the decision makers, suppliers, distributor and customers and how different decisions take place because all of these play a key role in the success of the supply chain process of Tapal. We tried to be as through with our study as possible but there is always chances for ambiguity and error, hence I request the reader to forgive any mistakes herein as none were intended and all work done was from research that we personally carried out by visiting Tapal and interviewed Tanveer ul Hassan, there may be also places where we might not have been able to shed appropriate light on certain aspects of our study so let me say that any omission is also totally unintended

WHY TAPAL?
For the final project of supply chain management course we have to analyze an organizations supply chain, its process, entities and strategies to conclude the teachings we obtained in this course. After a combine decision of Rash group members we decided that FMCG has more complex supply chain. If the effectiveness and efficiency of real supply chain need to be study then FMCG supply chain is the best opportunity for it. Now the question arise which company among FMCG companies should we consider for the final project. A suggestion from one of our group member arose about Tapal the reason was, 1. Tapal is the only leading brand in Pakistan which serves Tea Market from the last 64 years and still 100% own by Pakistanis. 2. Tapal reduce the Market size of its competitor Lipton and Broke Bond from 60 million Kg to 45 million Kg and took over the remaining market in tea. 3. In December 1997, Tapal Tea became the first Pakistani Tea Company to earn the ISO-9001 certification: a symbol of the highest international quality standards. 4. In December 2000, Tapal acquired the ISO-9001: 2000 certification, making it one of the first few companies in the world to achieve this milestone. 5. Tapal also export its product in other countries of the world which broad down the scope of its supply chain because Tapal is the only Pakistani leading brand which import its raw material completely from different countries of the world and exports its finished goods in other countries of the world. All success Tapal achieved since Mr. Aftab Tapal joined the companys C.E.O in late 1988-1989 is because of its effective supply chain management and customer and supplier oriented management that is CRM and SRM.
