1. Introduction
Every organization looks forward in the direction of completing their project successfully and
increasing the turnover of the company. The development of the continuous improvement for
innovative policies and procedures helps in improving the operational capability of the
business. The flaws and gaps which exists in the current working environment of the
enterprise can be resolved by doing reviews and evaluation of feedback to analyse the
requirement of changes required in the logistics and operational plan of the enterprise (Mary,
Enyinna, and Franca, 2015). The logistics management system focuses on managing the
supply and demand of the members to meet their requirements and values. The visualization
of the inventory flow among the different sectors of the firm is the major concern to achieve
project success (Otieno, 2014). The logistic program focuses on managing and storing the
inventory, packing of the product, distribution of the product to the end users, and
transportation process. The development of the effective supply chain management system is
the key role for improving the better control on managing the flow of inventory. The long
term sustainability of the enterprise can be achived by developing effective model for the
supply chain management system. The efficiency of the operational plan can be effectively
enhanced by proper utilization of the resources. The productivity of the firm increases with
the development of provision plan to provide good quality services and facilities to the
customers.
The Globex Organization is facing problems in completing their undertaken project within
time and with efficiency. The quality of the end-products are decreasing due to the poor
management of operational plan, stakeholder association of the project, ineffective logistic
program, poor strategic plan, management of resources, and others. The owner of the
company is looking forward to design a new operational strategy which is helpful in
managing the resources to the construction site, operational working plan, logistic
management plan, better control of project activities, and others.

5. Description of the current situation
The Globex organization is facing problem in managing effective scheduling of the resources
and the inventory. The demand raised by the participating members was not fulfilled which
results in the delay of the project schedule which marks the project failure. The quality of
output is not produced by the working units due to the limitation of strategic plan and
operational plan of the enterprise. The profit and turnover of the company is getting
decreased at a faster rate due to the increasing market competition and excessive amount of
inventory wastage. The significant step and strategy is required to resolve the complexities of
the project (Monnappa, 2017). The failure of the project is majorly due to the inaccuracy in
information and data provided to the stakeholders, slower rate of operations, instability in the
completion of the project activities, increased growth of market competition, poor quality of
the product, and excessive amount of inventory wastage. The development of operational and
logistics management system for the improved and enhanced working capability of the
enterprise helps in improving the turnover of the company and providing better quality
products to the customers. The good provision of facilities, quality and services helps in
developing strong bonding with the customers. The traditional working of the enterprise is
facing complexities in designing the operational plan for the logistics system and
transportation of the resources at the time of need. The integrity in the forecasting the
requirement of supply and demand of resources is the failure in the current working scenario
of the enterprise. The changes required in the process schedule are not easy tasks to
incorporate in the operational plan of the enterprise. The complexities in managing the
resources induce chaos and conflicts in the working procedures laid down by the stakeholders
in completing their given tasks. The inefficiency of the business operational plan and project
schedule may affect the decision making capability of the project manager in enhancing the
work flow management system among the participating units.

6. Possible solution
The inefficiency of the Globex organization can be improved by developing innovative
strategies for the operational plan of supply chain and logistics management system. The
possible solutions for improving the working strategies of the enterprise are:
Processes analysis and facilities layout:
The evaluation and analysis of the processes undertaken have to be done for improving the
work flow management of the organization. The focus should be given on the quality of
services and facilities provided to the end users. The systematic synchronisation of the
processes helps in achieving the goals and objectives of the Globex enterprise with
efficiency. The limitation and gaps which exists in the existing policy framework should be
analysed for the effective development of inventory management system, logistic
management system, communication management plan, resources planning, and others. The
quality standards should e prepared by developing the checklist from the requirement
specification plan designed by the project owner. The activity schedule should be developed
according to the requirement specification plan so that the goal can be achieved within the
boundaries of project time and cost. The work breakdown structure should be prepared to
analyse the significant completion of the processes and procedures in the direction of project
objectives. The division of role and responsibilities among the stakeholders according to their
capabilities and efficiency helps in increasing the work performance. The development of the
stakeholder engagement plan helps in minimizing the chaos and conflicts which exists among
the employees due to the resource unavailability and required authority for completing the
tasks.
Logistics and distribution strategies
The strategic approach should be designed for managing the flow of resources among the
working units of the enterprise. The logistic process starts with the input required for the
project which can be summarised as natural and physical resources for the project, human
resources, financial funding resources, and information and data resources. The logistic
activities are comprised for various stages for managing the flow of raw material, in-process
inventory, and delivery of the final goods and products. The various activities which are
undertaken for managing the flow of information are analysis of the customer services and
facilities, forecasting of the demand raised by the stakeholders, deployment of the distribution
communication plan, estimating the inventory control procedures, managing flow of material
handling for the required project, managing process and procedures, incorporation of the

order processing units, selection of the warehouse, development of the procurement
management plan, systematic analysis of the packaging system, distribution of the goods and
services, development of the waste management system for the inventory, proposing the
design for traffic control and transportation system for the products, and effective
management of the inventory storage. The incorporation of effective logistic program helps
in increasing the level of customers satisfaction, increasing profitability of the organization,
and gaining competitive advantage. The logistics management system focuses on managing
the supply and demand of the members to meet their requirements and values. The
visualization of the inventory flow among the different sectors of the firm is the major
concern to achieve project success. The logistic program focuses on managing and storing the
inventory, packing of the product, distribution of the product to the end users, and
transportation process. The diagram below shows the systematic management of the logistic
program for improving the efficiency of the Globex organization.

Estimation and Demand Forecasting
Demand estimation and forecasting is the procedure for defining the linkage between the
demand variables and strategic planning of the enterprise. The value estimation of the
demands helps in increasing the profitability and turnover of the enterprise by completing the
undertaken process within the given time frame (Oy, 2011). The focus should be given on
analysing the variation in the market price and estimated cost of the required resources so that
the balance can be made in the inflow of resources and cash out flow. The demand of the
required labour, human resource, material, machinery, and cash inflow should be forecasted
for managing the balance between the supply and demand of resources according to the
requirement of the stakeholders. The forecasting of the demand can be done in sequence of
steps which are categorised as analysing and evaluating the objective specification for
managing demand, identifying the required quality of resources, determining the time
boundary for the delivery of resources, identifying the innovation in the new products,
initialization of effective technology according to the change in market requirement, and
defining the change in the requirement plan of the stakeholders (Patanakul, 2010). The
demand forecasting can be effectively done by deploying the interviews and survey methods
for analysing the need and requirement of the stakeholders in advance.
Inventory management
The inventory management system focuses on tracking the requirement of the goods, raw
material, machinery, and others for completing the given tasks and operation. The decision
making capability of the inventory manager plays vital role in improving the management of
inventory to manage the supply and demand of the required resources. The efficiency of the
organization can be improved by establishing the centralized control over the resources, and
products to overcome the problem of wastage. The stock operations can be effectively
handled for resolving the issues related to the overrunning and under-running of the stocks.
The productivity of the organization can be effectively improved by providing the resources
on time and reducing the wastage of inventory. The hidden cost associated with the wastage
of inventory can be effectively minimized to keep the balance with the cost estimation plan
(Merrit, and Ricketts, 2012). The following diagram shows the clear portrait of the inventory
management system for improving the efficiency of Globex Organization.

Distribution and warehousing
The supply chain management system depends on effective schedule for distribution of goods
and services and management of inventory at the warehouse. The warehousing can be
effectively done by managing flow of inventory for manufacturing operations. The services
provided by the warehousing system for improving the operational plan of the enterprise are
 Better control and improved efficiency of the inventory management system
 Development of the effective model for the order processing units
 Development of the better quality control system
 Analysis and evaluation of the Contractor performance in managing the resources
 Development of value added services
The development of distribution services helps in managing the right product, resources, and
raw material to the right authorised person at right time with the right price. The distribution
of the products helps in increasing the satisfaction level of customers by providing ordered
product at scheduled time. The focus should be given on acknowledge received by the
receiver should be documented for future reference.
Performance measurement
The performance measurement helps in analysing the meeting of the project output with the
requirement specification plan and checklist prepared for analysing the quality of the end
products. The success criteria should be prepared by deploying the key performance
indicators so that the success and failure of the project can be effectively measured. The long

term sustainability of the project can be measured by evaluating the customer satisfaction
level with the product quality. The value for money can be created by improving the
performance of good and services provided to the end users. The monitoring of the
operational plan and deployment of the communication plan helps in measuring the success
and failure of the project.
Application of new technologies
The implementation of the new technologies helps in overcoming the gaps and obscure which
occurred with the existing technologies. The analysis of the Globex enterprise helps in
evaluating that the organization is facing problem in managing its big data. The
implementation of the big data management system within the working curriculum of the
enterprise helps in increasing the performance and efficiency of the undertaken project. The
development of the Enterprise resource planning system helps in improving the rising data
and information management system. The big data can be effectively handled by the ERP
system of the organization (Upadhyay, Gupta, and Pandey, 2016). The ERP system helps in
managing the effective resource planning, stakeholder engagement plan, financial
management system, inventory management system, logistic management system, and others.
The new technologies which can be used by the organization to improve its existing
operational plan are deployment of the big data management system, IOT (Internet of things)
implementation, 3D printing architecture, Drone system, artificial intelligence, and
augmented reality system.
Quality Management:
The quality standards should e prepared by developing the checklist from the requirement
specification plan designed by the project owner. The emphasis should be given on analysing
the project requirement for developing the quality checklist and standards. The end results of
the operational plan should meet the requirement placed by the stakeholders. The project
execution helps in analysing quality standards of the end products. The quality control
policies and quality assessment plan should be developed so that the customer requirement
can be effectively fulfilled. The monitoring of the project execution phase helps in managing
the required quality of the product.
Project Management
The project management is the core part of developing the effective operational plan because
it helps in developing the systematic flow of project activities to meet the customer

requirement within the projected time and cost. The completion of the project within the
given time limits and cost results in the project success (Kothari, Jain, Venketeshwar, 2018).
The quality of the work flow can be optimised by preparing the project schedule and
stakeholder engagement plan according to the requirement of the project. The project
management is divided into five processes which are categorised as project planning,
requirement gathering phase, designing and development phase, project evaluation phase,
project implementation phase, and project closure phase.
7. Proposal of a new procedures or change
The logistic and supply chain management plan can be improved by indulging the new model
of Internet of things which in turn helps in improving the operational plan of the Globex
organization. The tracking of the delivery system can be effectively improved by utilizing the
concept of IOT because the IOT is based on the principle of real time analytics procedures.
The location of the vendors can be tracked to analyse and forecast the delivery of the
resources to the demanding units. Wastage in the inventory and warehouse can be sensed
proactively for minimizing the damage and wastage (Mansfield community, 2013). The real
time monitoring of the system with the use of IOT infrastructure helps in minimizing the
risks associated with the project. The accuracy in the delivery of resources can be effectively
achieved by proactive sensing the performance of the vendor company by analysing and
tracking its location (Kotsifaki, Dimitriadis, Ketikidis, and Missopoulos, 2007). The
connectivity should be maintained between the logistics members so that flow of resources
can be managed properly according to the requirement of the project. The following diagram
shows the efficiency of IOT deployed in the logistics system:
