Metro Tyres Limited specializes in the manufacturing of
bicycle and auto tyres, tubes and chains. MTL caters
the 36 % share of the replacement and O.E.M market
in India. The company is associated with a German giant, Continental. Metro has four manufacturing facilities
in Ludhiana, India and one facility in Haryana, India.
The branch offices spread over 60 cities in the Indian
sub continent.
The non integrated stand alone system at all the units
and the minimum connectivity of the operating branches produced the challenge of visibility of supply chain,
customer management and reverse logistics. The
unclear processes and lack of integration added costs
and faded clarity in the business.
“The silos of information were one of our major challenges” says Mr. Rajesh Head MIS MTL Ludhiana.
