This large operation is fueled by advanced automation, digital analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) to ensure minimal disruptions.
Yogesh Mishra, executive director, supply chain, at HUL, talks to Viveat Susan Pinto about the focus on digital fulfillment centers, utilization of nano factories to produce in small batches, and how Project Nakshatra is aiding agility. Excerpts:
HUL has often said that what is good for India is good for the company. How does this play out in your supply chain operations?
We have a collaborative and customer-centric approach to supply chain management. We have a multi-category multi-format distributed network comprising 28 own factories and over 50 collaborative manufacturing units producing more than 75 billion units annually. We also strive to be gender-inclusive—for instance, one of our factories in Bundelkhand has over 40% women in the workforce. We are looking to take our female workforce numbers up in our other factories too. At the same time, we constantly strive to be innovative and optimize our operations.
What is Project Nakshatra and how is it helping your supply chain stay nimble?
