With GST, Organizations have an opportunity to re-jig their supply chains, to make them more Efficient and Effective Supply chain costs consist of Fiscal costs (central and state taxes) and physical supply chain costs (transportation, warehousing costs, inventory, etc.). However, traditionally the fiscal costs have predominantly determined the supply chain configuration of companies in India Hence, organizations in India tend to have a supply chain structure that is more distributed and fragmented - warehouse in each state, local suppliers in each state, multiple but smaller facilities However, this is expected to change under GST as locations will become tax neutral. Hence, under GST, only supply chain costs will determine companies supply chain configuration. Existing supply chains may no longer be optimal 12
As Organizations are gearing for GST, Supply Chain needs to find answers to multiple questions Is my supply chain still relevant from the perspectives of landed costs & service levels? Are there any cost savings that I can derive by re-configuring my supply chains, renegotiating with suppliers? Is my Manufacturing Architecture still relevant number of plants, product plant allocation, job work, etc.? What are those areas of opportunities? Which of these are quick wins vs big gains but long term? 13
