Production Facility
The raw material ingredients used for the production of chocolate chips are as follows:
Wheat flour, starch, sugar, hydrogenated vegetable fat, chocolate chips, coca powder, skimmed
milk powder, baking soda, ammonium bicarbonate, lecithin, salt, nature food color.
These ingredients are procured from different suppliers of both local and international repute.
Bisconni follows a FIFO method of production scheduling; namely, the first materials that
are supplied are the first to be used in the production processes. Bisconni does not like to
overstock finished goods, thus they aim to optimize the production process so as to minimize
the stocking of finished goods. Production is carried out on a daily basis, and the levels of
production are determined from past sales information that the sales and marketing
department supplies to the production floor managers.
Raw material delivery
The delivery period for raw materials falls between two and five days. During the onseason,
raw materials are delivered through local supply channels and thus take less time to be
delivered. Yet during the off-season, because raw materials are sourced from foreign suppliers,
the time for importing increases the delivery period.(in case of flour shortage).
Raw materials are converted daily during the production process, thus the work-inprocess
inventory does not extend to more than one day.
Before the production processes take place, all raw materials are assured by Bisconni ’s
quality assurance department.
Inventory
Bisconni has emplied a specific inventory management techniques in the stocking of its
raw materials or finished goods. A specified level of inventory is maintained,which may vary in
numbers depending on availability and seasonal factors. A synchronized inventory management
system is at work which stays in contact with suppliers of wheat flour,poultry items and other
major ingredients. A continuous inventory level updation takes place on daily bases thus
notifying the production team of bisconni as well as suppliers about respective inventory stock
levels. This system helps Bisconni in keeping a low level of raw material stock and thus makes it
possible for delivery of raw material just in time.
Bisconni follows a policy of maintaining one day of finished goods stock in their inventory.
This along with their raw materials inventory are the only inventories that contribute to the
total inventory pool, as the work-in-process inventory is converted on a daily basis.
Locations
Bisconni have independent distributors in every region of Pakistan. Beside the primary
warehouse in HUB Karachi,the company has its own warehouses in all 5 provincial capitals, and
thus supplies the product to its primary distributors/stockiest in major cities of Pakistan.
Bisconni employs regional sales managers who are responsible for the management and
efficient supervision of all its distributors. Market segmentation is carried out in-house and
then relayed on to distributors by the sales managers with specific instructions on distribution
and handling aspects.
Transportation
Logistic concerns are out sourced mostly,the delivery of raw material from suppliers to bisconni
production facility is the responsibility of the suppliers, while the finished goods inventory
which leaves the factory after production goes by company owed trucks to the 5 provincial
warehouses.
Information
The effective procurement and utilization of information is outsourced by Bisconni to
research firms in this case (Orientedge UM). There is one sales representative who is
responsible for garnering information on past performance, and the perceptions of wholesalers
and distributors. He does this by conducting surveys and studying historical data. This
information along with the data provided by research firms, allows Bisconni to take informed
strategic business decisions.
All the daily reports of inputs and outputs are fed into an inventory management software
that manages the efficiency and effectiveness of Bisconni’s inventory and stock keeping
processes. Meetings are conducted regularly to utilize information in an effective fashion, and
discussions on the raw material price hikes and foreign exchange rates,which the company is
curently facing allow the management to better gauge their performance and improve.

SUPPLY CHAIN STRUCTURE
There are four categories of supply chain operations; planning, sourcing, making and delivering.
These four categories organize the supply chain operations
PLANNING refers to all the operations that are necessary in order to actively facilitate the
sourcing, making and delivering of a company’s product. Planning is essentially the backbone of
the entire process, without accurate planning, the entire supply chain network will suffer. It
provides a base from which all other decisions can be made. By covering the several operations
that fall under this category, such as demand forecasting, product pricing and inventory
management, companies can take informed decisions in regards to successfully managing their
supply chains.
SOURCING essentially refers to the processes and activities required by a company to
facilitate the acquisition of materials and other inputs in order to further its business. This
includes all procurements from suppliers and other channel members.
MAKING basically covers all the operations needed to successfully create a product out of
all the given inputs. The three subsets of this category are; product design, production
scheduling, and facility management.
DELIVERING sees that all operations involved with the effective allocation of the finished
product to distributor channel members take place without hitch. Order management, and
delivery scheduling are crucial factors involved in delivering operations, and allow the company
to optimize its delivery channels so as to maximize profits.
Following sections is an analysis of Bisconni’s position relative to these supply chain
operations.
