Charles Darwin said: It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but

the one most responsive to change.

The same is true for organizations in the new, globalized economy. Companies have to build

flexibility into their supply networks to enable more rapid responses to ever-changing business

conditions. Add to that todays changing trade compliance and sustainability issues, and the need for

a responsive network becomes even more pressing.

To help organizations the information age, with the introduction of sophisticated technologies, has

made apparent vast Supply chain and logistics efficiencies. As a result, supply chain technology has

been one of the fastest growing segments in the information field. The pace of change has been

accelerating for transport and logistics organizations after global freight capacities eased over 2008-

09. Their customers now want everything faster and more predictable.

We came up with our concept of the project which was instantly accepted

The project is done after a year of study and possible implementation stage

The total initiative for the project is taken by Inspace technology thru myself and is provided a

technology solution for SUPERMARKET PONNU BAZAAR AVADI CHENNAI

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is business management software that allows an organization to

use a system of integrated applications to manage the business. ERP software integrates all facets of

an operation, including development, manufacturing, sales and marketing.

We are going to use RFID Tags for all the products. RFID promises to revolutionise supply chains and

usher in a new era of cost savings, efficiency and business intelligence.

It has the potential to improve efficiency and visibility, cut costs, delivers better asset utilisation,

produce higher quality goods, reduce shrinkage and counterfeiting, and increase sales by reducing

out-of-stocks.

Scope and Focus of the Supermarket

A supermarket business enterprise is a large, very complex structure, involving manycomponent entities:

An array of repeat customers grouped in various local areas.

A chain of retail stores.

Various transportation systems.

A set of warehouse distribution centers.

An array of product suppliers under contract.

A supermarket exists in a competitive environment, where it acts as a value-added

intermediary between geographically dispersed supplier companies and the scattered

individual customers who eventually buy their products.In carrying out its function, a supermarket business acquires and assembles a wide

assortment of goods from individual suppliers, then organizes and distributes them as-

needed to a chain of retail stores for sale to local customers.

The supermarket model focuses on the work that is involved in physically handling

stock as it makes the journey from supplier to customer. Although it references the

business entities that are involved, the model does not include the life cycle

development of the physical housing structures of warehouses, stores and trucks, or

the equipment they employ. The model identifies key parameters that are involved,

but this generic version does not include specifics, such as the actual number ofproduct types that a store carries number of stores and warehouses, their sizes, etc.

These are determined when the model is applied to a specific supermarket business.

What is a Business Enterprise?

As shown in Figure 1, a typical business enterprise exists in a competitive marketplace,

where it acquires resources from its supplier market, adds value by transforming them

into products or services, and sells the results to its customer market


12/45


13/45

A supermarkets CUSTOMERS are primarily local residents and small businesses that

periodically need to replenish their stock of household products. A supermarkets

SUPPLIERS are primarily producers of household products that are established far

from the locations of their final customers. In effect, the supermarket provides a

virtual marketplace that brings remote suppliers together with local customers. Giventhis arrangement, the supermarket product is its SUPPLY CHAIN.

BUSINESS PROCESSES

The Supermarket Structure

The model portrays a supermarket as a functional system for doing business. As a

system, the sequence of work performed in bringing products from remote suppliers

to local customers involves certain discrete business entities. Each of these entities

provides a critical link in the supermarket supply chain. Figure 3 identifies these

business entities as subsystem layers of the model, and defines the functional

activities they perform.

Figure 3: Functional Activities

This sequence of business entities provides an initial breakdown to define the

structure of supermarket subsystem layers. To complete the overall structure of the

supermarket model, the structure of subsystem layers is overlaid with a sequence of

four core processes, which represent the life-cycle of a supermarket business. Figure 4

shows the four core processes in a time sequence, overlaid on the previously-

described subsystem layers.

CORE PROCESSES

This sequence of business entities provides an initial breakdown to define the

structure of supermarket subsystem layers. To complete the overall structure of the

supermarket model, the structure of subsystem layers is overlaid with a sequence of

four core processes, which represent the life-cycle of a supermarket business. Figure 4


15/45

shows the four core processes in a time sequence, overlaid on the previously-

described subsystem layers.

Figure 4: Core Processes

The core process sequence begins by defining the business concept in terms of a

detailed set of system requirements. This definition of requirements is then

transformed into a tangible design, followed by constructing of the structures,

procedures and contractual agreements that make up the business. The final core

process shows how the resulting structures are employed to provision the actual

supermarket service. To fulfill the original business concept, the four core

processes are implemented over time. This four-stage development sequence

comprises the lifecycle of the supermarkets business enterprise product.

SUPPLY CHAIN

A more detailed subsystem structure is required as a basis for defining the core

process structures. The first task is to translate the Functional Activities to be

Performed (from Figure 3) into the sequence of Basic Functional Steps that bring

product stock from remote suppliers to local customers. As shown in Figure 5, these

steps describe the essential SUPPLY CHAINof the supermarket business.


16/45

Figure 5: Supply Chain

SUB SYSTEMS

As the blue Basic Functional Steps column shows, the physical properties of the

supplier Stock remain unchanged throughout the sequence of sub process steps. The

Stock goes through a sequence of actions that affect only its assignedproperties, such

as its location, accessibility, visibility, and purchase price.


17/45

The next task is to interpret the Basic Functional Steps as business subsystems, which

portray the supply chain in terms of business structural requirements. In Figure 6, the

terminology shifts from action steps to the state of supplier stockat each subsystem

level. For each step in the supply chain, this indicates which business entity owns or is

responsible for the stock, its physical location, and how it is being accessed

Figure 6: Subsystems

Application of the Supermarket Model

The supermarket model can be applied to all types and sizes of supermarket

businesses. The model is intended to be used as a standardized template from which

the unique characteristics of a specific supermarket business can be clearly identified.


18/45

The unique features of different types of supermarkets may vary, depending on size,

location and stock assortment. Further, differences in core process structure may vary

with a given supermarket, depending on product size, whether perishable, and

supplier location.

All of these differences can be viewed as variations on the common underlying themepresented in the supermarket model. This allows the standardized supermarket model

to be employed as a baseline template for understanding and defining all supermarket

situations.

Example 1: The supply chain of a supermarket that acquires much of its stock from

outside its own country might have additional steps in its supply chain for greater bulk

shipping, customs receiving, and bulk warehouse storage.

Example 2: The supply chain of a supermarket that acquires perishable stock to be

delivered directly to its stores by local suppliers might eliminate the warehouse

subsystem layers for that portion of its business.

Supermarket Business Functions

Each intersection of a subsystem with a core process forms an essential business

function. These business functions define the business capabilities and actions that are

required to satisfy the original business concept.

Each business function embodies characteristics of both a core process and a

subsystem. The core process dimension breaks down into a set of sub-processes that

defines the sequence of work steps to be conducted in this portion of the supplychain. The subsystem dimension defines how resources and schedules are applied to

accomplish that work.

Business Function Decomposition

The overall sequential flow of work performed by each core process determines the

flow of work as it encounters its sequence of business functions. In that context, the

work performed by a given business function is viewed as a sub-process of the overall

core process, and details of the work within the business function appear as lower-level activities within that sub-process.

The supermarket model provides a framework that clearly defines all business

functions that are essential to the companys product life cycle and operation. Each of

these well-defined business functions can then be decomposed into lower levels of

detail using well-established process modelling methods and techniques.

How Business Functions Relate to Organization Charts


19/45

The supermarket models subsystem/core process matrix can be applied to help

realign a companys organization structure with its inherent functional structure. This

framework provides a tool for reassigning management responsibilities toward the

more clearly defined business functions.

The business functions that are defined within the supermarket models structural

framework can be mapped to those found on the companys organization chart, as

indicated in Figure 13. A companys organization chart typically shows a hierarchy of

lower level organization units whose responsibilities have evolved over time. The

supermarket models matrix can bring to light any fragmentation of a function across

multiple organization units, as well as ambiguous paths of authority over essential

functional work.

Figure 7: Mapping Org Unit to Business Function

The supermarket models functional structure could be employed by ERP SOFTWARE

PROVIDERS, whose current views are often based on business functions derived from

an organization structure. Providing them with a more accurate view of the inherent

structure of a SUPERMARKET BUSINESS TO MAKE THEIR SOLUTIONS MUCH MORE

POWERFUL.


20/45

The supermarket model defines the inherent system structure that is common to

every supermarket business.

It provides an architectural framework of function and workflow that can be applied

to better understand and improve a supermarkets business performance. By

identifying the supermarkets complete core process and function structure, thismodel provides a highly efficient tool for more accurate business process

identification, improvement and design.

ENTERPRISE INFORMATION SYSTEMS. While a departmental information system is

usually related to a functional area, other information systems serve several

departments or the entire enterprise. These information systems together with thedepartmental applications comprise the enterprisewide information system (EIS). One

of the most popular enterprise applications is enterprise resources planning (ERP),

which enables companies to plan and manage the

resources of an entire enterprise. ERP systems present a relatively new model

of enterprisewide computing (see Chapter 8).

A special enterprise system that crosses several departments is the transaction

processing system (TPS). The TPS automates routine and repetitive tasks that are

critical to the operation of the organization, such as preparing a payroll or billing

customers.

Reverse Supply Chain

Reverse supply chain refers to the movement of goods from customer to

vendor. This is the reverse of the traditional supply chain movement of goods

from vendor to customer. Reverse logistics is the process of planning,implementing and controlling the efficient and effective inbound flow and

storage of secondary goods and related information for the purpose of

recovering value or proper disposal.

Typical examples of reverse supply chain include:

Product returns and management of their deposition.

Remanufacturing and refurbishing activities.

Management and sale of surplus, as well as returned equipment and machines

from the hardware leasing business.

In these cases, the resource goes at least one step back in the supply chain. Forinstance, products move from customer to distributor or manufacturer
