    Introduction- Maruti Suzuki India Limited

    Maruti Suzuki India Limited was established in February 1981 with the name Maruti Udyog
    Limited. The company later joined hands with Suzuki Motor Corporation, Japan in 1982 to start
    a joint venture agreement. Upon starting the production and other operations in 1983, the
    company rolled out its first Maruti 800. Ever since then, MSIL has grown in leaps and bounds to
    cater to a large pool of customers in India and abroad. It has been one of the most successful
    companies in supply chain and logistics management in the Indian automobile market. Currently,
    the company is engaged in the businesses of manufacturing, purchase and sale of motor vehicles
    and automobile spare parts. MSIL has six production facilities in India three located in
    Gurgaon, Haryana while rest are situated at Manesar, Haryana. The company manufactures more
    than 1.1 million cars per year and has more than 15 brands to offer across 150 variants. The sales
    network is spread across 1471 cities in the country [1]. The company has more than 250 suppliers
    which function in a unified fashion. Therefore, it becomes crucial to efficiently manage supply
    chain and logistics management at MSIL.

    Supply Chain at MSIL


    The company has been focusing to maximize throughput and lower cost by revamping supply
    chain strategies. With respect to the suppliers, the company has been following milk run system
    [2]
    wherein containers collect raw materials from suppliers and deliver the same to MSIL plants
    after performing certain check-calls. The empty containers are finally returned to the suppliers
    and the process goes on. MSIL also focuses on just-in-time (JIT) delivery and to achieve this in
    material supplies, company prefers locally based suppliers. Moreover, the company has also
    lowered its material requirement from one month to 15 days so as to reduce inventory levels
    [3]
    thereby benefiting in cost savings. As per data, the plant inventory fell by 70 per cent. This
    process was first initiated with tier one suppliers in view to make the supply chain operations
    leans at all levels. The raw materials are bought in bulk to further help the company in reducing
    procurement costs. The company manages Maruti Centre for Excellence (MACE) to give
    vendors advice on vendor efficiency.

    As far as outbound transportation is concerned, MSIL has been increasing its infrastructure and
    moving towards hub-and-spoke distribution models for vehicle and spare parts. This is
    achieved through regional vehicle and parts distribution centers. The integrated supply chain
    model at MSIL has helped the company to meet its customer requirements and fulfill the
    demand.
