Introduction
The management of Yummy Noodles Company was contemplating on introducing 200 grams
pack of savory noodles into the indian market at Rs. 10 per pack. This was only for one month
which was construed to be as a test marketing period. During this period, the company wanted
to have a “blitz” strategy of flooding the market with their product.
In the subsequent month, the management of Yummy Noodles company had planned to raise
the price of the pack to Rs. 15, while the weight of the pack was to be fixed at 250 grams.A free
gift in the form of a plastic bowl with spoon was also planned.
Two months before the launch of the actual production, the marketing department of the
company brought out advertisements regarding the savory noodles.The advertisements were
displayed on bill-board, TV, radio, print media.School and colleges were also targeted to rope in
students and children to buy the product.
Production of noodles was planned to be started along with the marketing program.The forecast
of the number of expected packets could be sold for the first month was around 75,000 and
125,000 for second month.The production was required to be started earlier to meet the target
of projected demand as well as to account for the changeover in the pack-size in the second
month.

What Are Logistical Processes?
Logistical processes facilitate the relationships between production and the movement of
products. Specifically, logistical processes should address many of the aspects of production,
including time, costs and quality. When a company successfully coordinates these logistical
processes, the company can track the process through production, consumption, storage and
disposal. A functional logistical process also relies on the proper geographical location of all
assets within the organization.
Logistical Processes
A logistical process tries to find the best solution for manufacturing and distributing goods by
considering how the market uses these products. As part of this process, a company should
always consider the location of a product and analyze the various factors associated with these
locations. This includes production costs, personnel, the time and cost required for
deconsolidation, and warehousing possibilities, including cost and space. As part of this
process, a company also should consider the factors that affect production quality and efficient
transportation between hubs.
