Abstract

This research evaluated supply chains for high volume products in India. Case studies of PepsiCo India and Tata Motors, two multinational companies operating in India, were used to identify supply chain challenges such as obsolete manufacturing practices and inadequate transportation infrastructure of the Indian emerging market. The case study analyses, compared with multinationals operating in the U.S, then provided information on various successful strategies for supply, product design and manufacturing and distribution in India.
