AGGREGATE PLANNING IN BPCL:-

Supply Chain Management in BPCL:BPCL is involved in a global supply-chain that includes domestic and international transportation, ordering and inventory visibility and control, materials handling, import/export facilitation and information technology. Thus, the industry offers a classic model for implementing supply-chain management techniques. In a supply-chain, a company is linked to its upstream suppliers and downstream distributors as materials, information, and capital flow through the supply-chain. Supply Chain Management in BPCL is a part of Project ARYABHATTA which is a component of Project DESTINY to align initiatives; moving towards customers with new technologies and enhancing skills of people. The Supply Chain department was developed in November 2006 with the strategic intent of maximizing benefit for the overall corporation, improving dynamic capability and becoming more competitive in the total business process chain. A transparent platform with total visibility, it is an integrated package of SAP R3 and BIW. Given its objectives, the SCM has to work through four fundamental sets of complexities which are as follows:It operates in a global context both at the supply side, and at the marketing end. The crude selection and supply is the international arm of the business, and the supply chain needs to drive decisions on exports imports versus domestic sales of different products. The SCM inherently operates as a matrix organization, working across different business units that could have conflicting goals or are used to more vertical ways of working. The SCM needs to drive value creation for the entire corporation, by creating a sense of passion for the company goal. Short-term versus long term implications of decisions need to be balanced, from a strategic perspective.
