Executive Summary
In this era of globalization and immense competition, the only organizations with lean and fittest operations can survive. Organizations must integrate their strategies among every function to achieve a common goal. Efficient supply chains, good capacity management, quality control and immediate responsiveness to the changes is necessary to win the race. Corona is an old and established name in the industry of home appliances. Although, it has a significant market share, the problem lies with conventional practices and inflexibility of organization towards the changing environment of market. We analyzed and found out the problems in supply chain management, product design and capacity planning. The company must own the distribution network of its products in market and manage it more efficiently. Corona must have its own retail store in the market. There must be a technical team for designing the products as they subject to home safety.

    Supply chain management is the coordination of the processes and functions within a business, adopted by most companies in the UK in the late 1990’s. It deals with the internal and external factors that, when dealt with correctly and systematically, can determine a businesses success or failure. A supply chain is the network of activities that delivers a finished product service to the customer. By definition, supply chain management (SCM) is “the management of the flows of materials from suppliers to customers in order to reduce overall cost and increase responsiveness to the customers” (Reid & Sanders). SCM entails the co-ordination of the movement of good through the supply chain from suppliers to manufacturers to distributors to the final customer. The main aim of SCM is to maximise the efficiency of any given process being carried out by a company; by doing this it is allowing them to try to cut their costs and hopefully keep satisfying their customers’ needs, while at the same time maintaining their competitive position within their market. Supply chain management is seen as more of an “open system” in contrast to the traditional system used by the majority of companies just 20 years ago. The new “open system” allows room for change which is greatly needed with the current financial instability of the economy.…

    A conventional “bricks and mortar” grocery does not have an online presence, only a physical one. It is built on a face-to-face customer service, and usually always has a building for their operations.
