 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We would like to express our deepest appreciation to IBS Hyderabad for giving us an
Opportunity to work on this project. We had put our efforts in the project. However, it would
not have been possible without the kind support and help of individuals. We would like to
extend our sincere thanks to all of them.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank and express our deep sense of gratitude to our
BIA faculty Prof. Dr Anusha Sreeram for giving us the opportunity to work on this project.
We are greatly indebted to her for providing valuable guidance at all stages of the study,
constructive suggestions, positive and supportive attitude and continuous encouragement,
without which it would have not been possible to complete the report. Her continuous
cooperation and valuable guidance have been certainly indispensable for our project work.

INTRODUCTION
Supply Chain
The process of managing the movement of raw materials and pieces from the start of
production to delivery to the consumer is known as supply chain management. In many
organizations, supply chain decisions are made numerous of times every day affecting how
the products are being developed, manufactured, moved from place to another, and also sold.
The complexity of the supply chain varies depending on the size and scope of the business as
well as the complexity and quantity of the commodities being made, but most supply chains
share some or all of the following elements.
 Customers: When a customer decides to buy a product that has been offered for sale
by a corporation, the chain of events begins. If the product must be made, the sales
order will include a criteria that the manufacturing facility must meet.
 Planning: The planning department will devise a production strategy for producing
the products required to fulfil the demands of the customers. The corporation will then
have to obtain the raw materials required to make the products.
 Purchasing: The purchasing department receives a list of raw materials and services
that the production department needs to fulfil the requests of the customers.
 Inventory: The raw supplies are delivered to the warehouse, where they are
examined for quality and correctness.
 Production: The raw materials are moved to the production area according to a
production plan. These raw ingredients are utilised to make the final products that the
customer has bought, and then they are sent to the warehouse to be shipped.
 Transportation: When the finished product arrives in the warehouse, the shipping
department finds the most efficient shipping option to ensure that the products reach
on or before the customer's stated delivery date.

Logistics:
Logistics refers to the control of the movement of goods from point of origin to point of
consumption in order to suit the needs of customers or businesses. Physical commodities like
food, materials, animals, equipment, and liquids, as well as abstract items like time and
information, are all managed in logistics. Information flow, material handling, production,
packing, inventory, transportation, and warehousing are all common components of physical
item logistics.

The distinction between logistics and supply chains is frequently misunderstood. Supply
chain includes production and procurement, and so has a much broader focus, as it involves
several organisations, including suppliers, manufacturers, and retailers, working together to
meet a customer's need for a product or service. Inventory management, purchasing,
shipping, warehousing, and the planning and organisation of these activities are all topics
that a logistics operations manager will be involved with.

Importance of Data Analytics in Supply Chain and logistics:

The breadth of Supply Chain is now global, the volume of data collected from its many
activities, as well as the speed with which it is generated, can be classified as Big Data.
Furthermore, organisations such as marketing and sales are now depending on the analysis of
unstructured data in addition to structured data to acquire a better understanding of client
needs and reduce the cost of Supply Chain procedures.

PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT

The ultimate aim of our study and data analysis on the base of different parameters is to find
the most economical route for our logistics operation. And we consider some important
parameters like maximum and minimum weight quantity, transportation time in days, Unit
price, rates etc.

OBJECTIVE
 The goal of logistics and supply chain management in an organization is to ensure the
timely delivery, competitive pricing, mobility, and flexibility, together with
innovative transportation and services.
 The basic objective of supply chain management is to ensure minimum cost and
maximum efficiency in every aspect of handling of raw material, component parts
and finished goods as they move from production centre to the final consumer.
 By analysing the supply chain logistic problems and the real time data we will be able
to determine the delivery time and pricing and also by using the historic data and can
calculate the costs of historical network and also optimize for the new constraints.

SELECTION OF VARIABLES

The dataset which we have chosen is the data that contains the variables for Supply chain
Logistic. The dataset is divided into 7 tables. One table for all orders that needs to be
assigned a route i.e. Order List table, and there are also 6 additional files that specify the
problems and the restriction. For instance, the 
 Order List - It contains historical records of how the orders are routed and demand
satisfied.
 Freight Rates - This table describes all available couriers, the rates they charge, max
weight quantity, time gaps for each individual lane and rates associated.
 Plant Ports – This table describes the plants associated or have links between the
warehouses and shipping ports in real world.
 Products Per Plant - This table lists all supported warehouse-product combinations.
 Spe Customers - The lists all special cases, where warehouse is only allotted to
support specific customer, while any other non-listed warehouse can supply any
customer.
 Wh.Capacities – This lists warehouse capacities measured in number of orders per
day. Wh.Capacities correspond to the number of orders. Wh.Capacities table is the
maximum number of orders that can be processed per each plant and it is not
dependant on specific products.
 Wh.Costs - This specifies the cost associated in storing the products in given
warehouse which is measured in dollars per unit.
 Order ID - It is the ID of the order made by the customer, product ID is the specific
product ID customer ordered.

The sheets that will be used for the analysing the data are as follows -
 Order list
 Freight Rates
 WH cost
 WH Capacities

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

1. DATA SOURCE
 The dataset which will be used for the purpose analysing is collected from a
secondary source. The source from which the data is collected is from Kaggle.
 The dataset which they have chosen is the data that contains the variables for Supply
Chain Logistic. The dataset is divided into 7 tables. One table for all orders that needs
to be assigned a route i.e. Order List table, and there are also 6 additional files that
specify the problems and the restriction. For instance, the Order list, Freight rates,
Plant Ports, Products per plant, Spe customers, Weight capacities, The height per cost,
Order Id and transportation day count. The data also contains Unit Quantity, The
height and TPT i.e. estimated shipping time.
 The Project deals with the analysis of logistical data sets of supply chain management.
The datasets associated with it are also from the same source.
 The dataset contains the variables for Supply Chain Logistic.
 In this project they calculate the costs of historical network and also optimize for the
new constraints.
 In our data they try visualizing as they’ll as analysing a similar logistics and supply
chain movement across several plants namely Plant16, Plant03, Plant08 and Plant12.

2. TECHNIQUES:
Analysing the data in excel:
Data cleaning: Analysing the dataset
 In the beginning they collected the data which is in a raw data.
 Analysing the data using efficient sorting and filtering.
 Data Cleaning, one of the extremely essential excel function, becomes less difficult
with a couple of tips which is prominent before analysing the data into a useful
insights or too draw any visualization for better understanding the data and to take
better decision. You might figure out how to utilize a local Excel element and how to
achieve a similar objective with Power Query.
 The next step is to check any column has a value that are in text format and change
the format to numeric.
 Then they checked any missing value is available data set using R.
