1 TCS Supply Chain Center of Excellence Delivering Supply Chain Performance in Complex Dynamic Markets Supply Chain Management

2 Supply Chain Management (SCM) has evolved and the focus has now shifted from the internal alignment and optimization of systems and processes, to the management of dynamic ecosystems that require multi-tier synchronization and collaboration across suppliers, technology partners and customers. Effective SCM not only requires alignment with business strategy, but also needs to sense market trends, enable technology shifts early, and ensure the timely orchestration of connected execution across all elements of the value chain. Companies that excel in integrating business strategies with effective supply chain execution enjoy far greater profits than their industry peers independent industry analysis has found that companies with the best performing supply chains realize up to 50% higher net margins, double the return on assets (ROA) and over 80% higher inventory turns. At Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), we devise and implement scientific, methods-based, innovative SCM strategies and solutions. These correctly and holistically address impediments to business processes, information technology and the organization in a dynamic and complex business world. For companies in the Consumer Products, Retail, Life Sciences, High Tech, Telecom, Manufacturing and Transportation industries, we facilitate a quantum improvement in business performance while adhering to our commitment of delivering certainty.

3 Overview Today s supply chains operate in an era of a new normal, characterized by unprecedented volatility, uncertainty and complexity. These are caused by uncertainty in macroeconomic, geo-political, and climatic conditions, as well as growth in product and service personalization levels. Consequently, to manage change constantly, effective orchestration of supply chains requires responsive, fact-based, multi-variate analytical capability. For instance, low-cost country sourcing strategies have led to extended multi-link global supply chains that are more susceptible to disruptions, thereby requiring contingency plans which add to the supply chain costs. On the other hand, shortened product lifecycles in the face of declining prices and increased demand volatility amplifies costs associated with these contingency plans and suggests a regional supply chain design as the optimal approach. Clearly, decisions that seem most advantageous today may cease to be so in a few years due to industry consolidation, changing market conditions, factor costs and evolving distribution channels. Factoring in the increasing consumer demand for customization as well as intense competition, the task of managing supply chain complexity with its accompanying tradeoffs assumes critical importance. At TCS, we help you build adaptive, cost optimal supply chains that deliver superior financial and operational performance despite the pressures imposed by globalization and changing market needs. We accomplish this by designing responsive supply chain platforms to provide tailored services appropriate to your business conditions. These supply chain platforms can be implemented at your premises or in TCS, with the TCS-based platform providing you the added benefit of delivering SCM services on a variable cost model. The principles used to achieve this design objective include: Segmented thinking: The supply chain of an enterprise is a collection of multiple supply chains with varying degrees of interaction operating under the umbrella of a single organization, and in most cases, a single infrastructure. This necessitates a thought process that structures and operates them with different rules. Flexible design: The supply chains cost optimality needs to be coupled with flexibility to make them adaptable to a changing environment. Visible and predictable operations: Timely use of internal and external information to dynamically analyze, visualize and predict the way forward is essential to enable cost optimal agile operations. To achieve flexible and cost optimal design of supply chains with due consideration for environmental influences Intrinsic Challenge Flexibility Predictability Visibility Customizability Extrinsic Challenge To achieve better visibility and predictability into impact of external world to improve forecasts and operational predictability To realize these design objectives, our innovation effort is centered on two major themes Supply chain design that adopts dynamic simulation-based approaches to analyze and design flexible and cost optimal supply chains. Supply chain operation that uses predictive analytics and information fusion to ensure better understanding of the environment and the operational risks in supply chains. TM Our Global Network Delivery Model, a collaborative, best-in-class framework of people, processes, and infrastructure, makes it possible for us to consistently ensure the success of SCM initiatives anytime, anywhere.

7 How we help our customers One of the largest chemical manufacturers in the world chose us to design a next-generation supply chain that would cater to the company and its joint venture needs till Working in close collaboration with the company, we leveraged innovative measures and mathematical models to design a supply chain. Our solution demonstrated the potential to achieve high standards of security and sustainability, reduce the company s carbon footprint, and contribute millions of dollars worth to savings. We partnered with a Fortune 500 engineering company to revolutionize its supply chain. Recommended improvements included reengineering the supply chain process, training staff, and enabling advanced planning and process management through cutting-edge technology solutions. With our help, the engineering company was able to more accurately forecast the demand for its products and services, promote effective sales and operations planning (S&OP), improve on-time deliveries, and reduce inventory. We worked with a leading electrical appliance manufacturer to develop a JDA (Manugistics) application to allow the company to deliver on its promise of products configured to customer requirements. We designed, customized, and implemented a solution that enables daily planning and scheduling to support the make-to-order process, with accurate available-topromise (ATP) and improved component capacity planning. This solution has improved customer satisfaction through accurate delivery of products configured to customer needs. For a global high-tech manufacturer, we implemented and supported a JDA (i2) solution that improved customer loyalty through better parts inventory management. It also significantly reduced costs and strengthened supplier relationships. We designed and implemented an SAP APO solution for a multi-national consumer electronics manufacturer. Our solution helped the organization reduce order lead times, improve available-to-promise performance, and provide a single interface for customers. The solution also helped the manufacturer track the accuracy of order forecasts.
