Pvt Ltd and to bench mark the organisation with respect to plastic industry.
 To have a thorough understanding of how logistics system works in Family Plastics.
 To know whether the customers are satisfied with the existing range of service pattern.
SCOPE OF THE STUDY

 The scope of logistics management study involves order processing, inventory control,
transportation, warehousing, materials handling, and packaging, all integrated throughout
a network of facilities. The goal is to support procurement, manufacturing, and customer

INDUSTRY PROFILE

 The first plastic was a modification of cellulose, created by Alexander Parkers In 1862 and
was known as Parke Sine. In 1868 Johan Wesley Hyatt invented cellulose, derived from
cellulose and alcoholised camphor that could be moulded with heat and pressure into
durable shapes.
 By 1900, a firm was exploding market for celluloid plastic, from the time of their origin has
become an indispensible part of our life. Synthetic plastics are extensively used for
packaging of products like food, medicines etc.
 Economic reforms happened in the year 1991 laid the foundation for attaining higher
economic growth. As a result of this, Indian Polymer Industry has emerged as one of the
fastest growing sectors in the past decade. Because of its functionality, cheaper and
economical aspects, products made from plastics are widely used for Packaging, making
household items, automobiles etc. Most of these products are affordable to common
people, as they are much more cheaply compared to other materials.

HISTORY OF PLASTICS

 It was in 1862 that Alexander Parkes introduced the world’s first-ever man-made
plastic, at the London International Exhibition. “Parkesine,” as it was called, was
marketed as an alternative to ivory and horn that Parks discovered while trying to
develop a synthetic substitute for shellac for waterproofing.

 Though the product was not a commercial success, Parkesine represented an

important first step in the development of man-made plastic. The material didn’t
start to truly show its potential value and diversity of applications until John
Wesley Hyatt in Albany, New York discovered a way to manufacture an improved
version of Parkesine, most commonly known as celluloid.
Safe Plastic Numbers

It seems almost impossible to escape plastic in the modern consumer world. Still, we can make a
better choice by choosing safer for our health and environment types of plastic. Therefore it is
crucial to understand the potential harm of the elements of different plastics.

To make a long story short: plastic recycling numbers 2, 4 and 5 are the safest. Whereas plastic
numbers 1, 3, 6 and 7 must be avoided. But it does not indicate that you can fearlessly use safer
plastic. All plastic products can leach toxic chemicals when heated or damaged. Thus, the best
choice is to move to other materials like metal and glass where possible.
STATEMENTS OF PROBLEM

 Logistics management helps to provide fast and quality service. A management

strategy can constantly try to improve transportation processes and eliminate any
disruptions since delayed deliveries can lead to a disappointed customer.
 Logistics management enables companies to gain clear visibility of their
operations, improve customer relations, and reduce the necessity of maintaining
excess inventory.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

 The study assists to implementing new technology into a company's current

operations.These technological advancements minimize cost as well as streamline
the processes.

 Good logistics management creates reliable strategies that help provide superior
services to meet customer demand.
