About this Presentation
Godrej Consumer Products is the first Viable Vision company in the world. Implementation started in October 2004 without any adequate software support, and experience of holistic implementations. Being the first execution in India, there was no experience of managing supply chain replenishment of such large geography. With such limitations, company implemented replenishment solutions with its distributors within 2 years of implementation. Significant improvement was achieved in terms of exposure of capacity of plants, availability, improvement in inventory turns of supply chain etc. Eleven years after starting the implementation, the company (India business) has grown from around 80 million USD size to 800 million USD. Today the company is aggressively expanding through acquisitions across the globe and spreading TOC into the DNA of newly acquired businesses as well as continuing to improve in its existing operations. The case study is about the success of its VV with several limitations, and to present what happened to TOC initiatives after the consulting company left Godrej, how the company took TOC to next levels through POOGI in the same supply chain as well as newly acquired businesses. How the company is a real ever-flourishing company for employees, vendors, customers and investors.
