strategically placed
• Also, it was difficult to maintain stocks in 27 different locations

5. The Solution Offered
• L&T incorporated the problem solution on the lines of J-I-T
methodology
• Accenture advised L&T to reduce the shipment locations to 4
• Suggestions were to make Nagpur as a central hub for the warehouse
as it was located at the centre of India

time to the required buyer locations
