Day-35
SKU — the 3 letters that run retail.
SKU = Stock Keeping Unit
Every unique product has one. It's the DNA of inventory management.
Example:
→ Red Nike shoe, Size 8 = SKU #001
→ Red Nike shoe, Size 9 = SKU #002
→ Blue Nike shoe, Size 8 = SKU #003
Why it matters:
→ Tracks what's selling and what's not
→ Triggers reorder when stock falls below threshold
→ Enables accurate demand forecasting
→ Prevents selling something you don't have
The bigger the company, the more SKUs.
Amazon manages 350 MILLION+ SKUs.
That's supply chain data at insane scale.
Day-34
How Zara delivers new fashion in 2 weeks when others take 6 months.
The secret? Supply chain mastery.
→ Zara designs in Spain → small batches produced nearby (not China)
→ If a design sells well → reorder immediately
→ If it flops → killed before overstock builds
Most brands forecast 6 months ahead. They guess.
Zara responds to REAL demand in real time.
This is called "fast fashion supply chain" and it's a masterclass in agile logistics.
The clothes change every 2 weeks. The supply chain never sleeps.

Day-33
Hot take:
India doesn't have a manufacturing problem.
India has a WAREHOUSING problem.
→ Only 10% of Indian warehouses are Grade A (modern, organized)
→ 90% are unorganised, manual, untracked
→ We lose crores daily in pilferage, damage, and inefficiency
Fix the warehouse → Fix Indian logistics → Fix Make in India.
It all starts on the warehouse floor.
Day-32
Most people think a warehouse is just a big room full of boxes.
It's not.
A modern warehouse has:
→ Zone-based layouts (fast/slow moving goods separated)
→ Pick-Pack-Ship conveyor systems
→ WMS (Warehouse Management System) tracking every SKU
→ Barcode & RFID for real-time inventory visibility
→ Temperature-controlled zones for pharma/food
→ Reverse logistics bays for returns
A well-run warehouse is a precision machine.
Bad warehouse = delayed orders, wrong items, angry customers.
Warehousing isn't boring. It's the heartbeat of supply chain.

What a statement from the champions! 🇦🇷 Lionel Messi delivers a masterclass with his first World Cup hat-trick as Argentina dominate Algeria 3-0 in their 2026 opener. The GOAT is still cooking on the biggest stage. Pure class. 🐐🔥

Day-29
The Bullwhip Effect — one of the most dangerous phenomena in supply chain.
What happens:
Small demand change at retail level → gets AMPLIFIED as you go up the chain.
Example:
→ Customers buy 10% more biscuits in January
→ Retailer panics → orders 20% more
→ Distributor panics → orders 40% more
→ Factory panics → produces 80% more
Then demand normalizes → MASSIVE overstock at every level.
This causes billions in losses globally every year.
Information sharing between supply chain partners is the only cure.
Day-28
One month of tweeting about supply chain.
Here's what I've learned about sharing knowledge:
→ Simple > complex. Always.
→ Real examples beat textbook theory every time
→ People don't know what supply chain is — and that's OUR failure to communicate
→ The more specific, the more engagement
→ Consistency > virality
Supply chain runs silently in the background of every life.
My job now is to make it loud.
See you in month 2. 📦
Day-27
Green Supply Chain — the next big frontier.
Did you know?
→ Freight transport = 8% of global CO2 emissions
→ Packaging waste from ecommerce is massive
→ Inefficient routing wastes millions of litres of fuel daily
What companies are doing:
→ EV fleets for last mile (Zomato, Swiggy, Amazon India)
→ Reusable packaging
→ AI route optimization to cut empty miles
→ Supplier carbon audits
The future supply chain won't just be fast and cheap.
It'll be clean.

Day-26
During COVID, India faced a critical oxygen shortage.
The medical oxygen was THERE. The problem? Supply chain.
→ Not enough cryogenic tankers to transport liquid oxygen
→ Oxygen plants were in industrial zones, not near hospitals
→ No tracking system for cylinder inventory
→ Last-mile delivery to ICUs broke down
1000s of lives were at risk — not because of oxygen shortage but because of logistics failure.
Supply chain is literally a matter of life and death.
Never underestimate it.

Day-25
If you're an MBA student or fresher wanting to enter Supply Chain — read this 🧵
5 skills that will make you stand out immediately:
1/ Excel & Power BI — data is everything in SCM. Know pivot tables, dashboards, basic forecasting models.
2/ SAP basics — 70% of large companies run on SAP. Even knowing navigation gives you an edge.
3/ Inventory management concepts — EOQ, safety stock, reorder point. Know them cold.
4/ Vendor management — how to evaluate, negotiate, and rate suppliers.
5/ Communication — SCM is cross-functional. You talk to factory, warehouse, finance, and C-suite. Be clear.
Master these 5. You'll never be unemployed.
@eduardecom That 40% peak is almost entirely in Fashion & Apparel. It’s driven by customers using the doorstep as a trial room ('bracketing' multiple sizes) and high Cash on Delivery (COD) rejection rates in Tier 2/3 cities. It completely guts net margins.
Day-24
Reverse Logistics — the supply chain nobody talks about.
When you return a product online, what happens?
Day 1: Pickup from your door
Day 2: Reaches local hub
Day 3: Quality check
Day 4: Decision tree:
→ Resellable? → Back to inventory
→ Repairable? → Goes to repair center
→ Damaged? → Goes to recycler/scrap
In India, ecommerce returns are 20-40%.
Managing returns is its own massive supply chain operation.
