Apt inventory holding and it distinguished management impart economy and efficiency in businesses with effective stablisation and utilisation of the inventories. Inventory conveys the stock held in by the business for sale in the normal course of the business. The paper focuses an exploratory framework of the role of handling inventory with its proper management. 152 wholesalers in district Udhampur of J&K State were contacted through snowball referral sampling. The research framework was examined by empirical analysis of primary data collected. Validity and reliability of the scales in the construct were assessed through BTS and Cronbach-alpha. The data after purification and validation through factor analysis were subjected to multivariate tools. The results of hierarchal regression model and ANOVA revealed reduction in costs, economy and efficiency, and inventory stablisation being the predictors of proper inventory management. Further, it was noticed that wholesalers with different qualification significantly differ with regard to handling inventory and their management; with different previous work experience do not significantly differ in handling inventory and their proper management; and wholesalers in different locations do not differ significantly with regard to inventory management and handling.Keywords

The present research highlights some of the important benefits that proper inventory management assures, through the assistance of primary data collected from eight small scale cement firms operating in SIDCO&SICOP, under DIC (District Industries Centre) in District Udhampur of Jammu&Kashmir State. The main recompenses apprehended were "Assists in cost reduction", "Satisfied customers", "Liaison with market", and "Builds goodwill". The results of the ranking table revealed that the variable "Assists in cost reduction" scores highest mean rank as it accrued to be the main benefit derived by the cements industry. The variable "Satisfied customers" received second rank followed by "Liaison with market" with rank three due to larger market distances and erratic production schedule. The variable "Builds goodwill" received the fourth rank.Keywords

Supply chain performance deals with the efficiency in handling supply chain relations between manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, agents, customers etc. The present study highlights the prominent variables that enhance the supply chain performance in 44 small scale units operating in district Udhampur of J&K State divided into ten lines of operations. The primary data reflecting the research portray was ascertained by its empirical analysis. BTS and Cronbach-alpha stood as the main evaluators for assessing the validity and reliability of the scales in the construct. The results of ranking tables revealed that the variables that enhance supply chain performance are "Duration of relationships", "Firm size", "Individual experience", and "Commitment". Duration of relationships is assigned rank one by almost all managers of manufacturing firms. Firm size is accorded second rank, and third rank was accredited to commitment followed by individual experiences with rank four. Commitment received moderate response. The overall mean scores is divulged and discussed in the present research.Keywords

The paper flashes on the eminent role that commitment portrays in business enthusiasm. The research divulges empirical results on the foundation of data collected from 44 small scale industries functioning in District Udhampur of J&K State. The primary data so collected were subjected to factor analysis in order to reduce the unwanted statements. The KMO and Cronbach Alpha values revealed significance of the construct. The results of CFA confirmed all the statements so obtained from EFA. The results of hierarchical linear regression revealed that commitment among business partners ensures timely performance of business activities, commitment paves way for business success and commitment leads to development of trust&cooperation among business parties. The upcoming monsoon season might bring a whole new set of problems as the particular problem could again play a critical role in damaging profits.Keywords

The modern world is largely encompassed with transportation management system as the world aspires newer and wider products and the business fulfils their aspirations with the assistance of effective transportation management system. The present research explicates some of the important functions performed by transportation management system. The research is carried out on small scale firms operating in District Udhampur of J & K State. The empirical analysis of the research is done on the basis of primary data gathered from small scale firms' managers. The variables/functions taken into consideration for the research purpose are: "Transportation cost and service quality", "Routing and mapping", "Carrier selection and management", and "Real time Tracking". The results of the ranking table exposed that the variable "Routing and mapping" secured first rank, "Transportation cost and service quality" achieved rank second. Third rank is secured by the variable "Carrier selection and management" and "Real time Tracking" gained fourth rank. Further, the results of the linear hierarchal regression revealed that transportation management system ensures proper routing and mapping of the stock in small scale firms.Keywords

Inventory is of paramount importance when we talk of any businesses as the business laurels depends upon the apt inventory holdings. The proper supply of inventory keeps the business and the economy working as inventory only decides the business success or failure. Inventory no doubt is imperative in business, but it’s not free from numerous risks. The present research paper exaggerates some of the Risk-Mitigation Strategies adopted by cement industry with the collection of primary data obtained from eight small-scale cement firms functioning in SIDCO & SICOP, registered under DIC (District Industries Center) in District Udhampur of Jammu & Kashmir State. The key Risk-Mitigation Strategies adopted by these small-scale cements firms are “Safety Stock”, “Accurate Forecasting”, “Collaboration with Customers”, and “Transportation Advantages”. The results of the ranking table revealed that the variable “Safety Stock” scored the highest mean rank, as it seems to be the basic strategy adopted in order to cure inventories and derive profits out of apt inventory holdings. The factor “Accurate Forecasting” received second rank. Subsequently, the variable “Collaboration with Customers” emerged with rank three as it can mitigate the risk successfully and finally the variable “Transportation Advantages” contoured with forth rank.Keywords

Order processing is generally the process that is associated with the picking, packing and delivery of the products to the shipping carrier. If an order is received by an organization, it should be immediately and accurately processed by the organization. If processing is done efficiently and effectively, both the organization as well as the customer are benefitted. The present research paper focuses on the steps adopted by the small scale cements manufacturing units or by the cements industry with the collection of primary data obtained from eight small scale cement firms functioning in SIDCO & SICOP, registered under DIC (District Industries Center) in District Udhampur of Jammu & Kashmir State. The various steps that are adopted by the eight small scale cements manufacturing units are “Receiving of order”, “Recording of order”, “Filling of order” and “Assembling orders for transportation”. The results of the ranking table revealed that the variable “Receiving of order” scored the highest mean rank as it perceived to the first and foremost step of order processing. The factor “Recording of order” scored second rank. Consequently the variable “Filling of order” materialized with rank three and finally the variable “Assembling orders for transportation” emerged with fourth rank. Further, the results of regression analysis revealed that proper order processing leads to effective fulfillment of orders as represented by its significant value. The study however is restricted to the small scale manufacturing units operating in the one District only.Keywords
