Case Summary:
The main focus of this case study is on how Poonam Shah, a senior Indian administrative
officer at the Madhya Pradesh State Civil Supplies Corporation Limited (MPSCSCL), dealt
with a problem regarding how to best distribute food grain in response to location demands
and provide the grains to various levels of areas and to the people at the right price and at the
right time as well. In order to satisfy the requests for food grain from fair-pricing retail
establishments, she had to determine which of the several delivery options was the best.
Poonam Shah is so attempting to determine the optimal result from several levels of
perceptions in regard to logistics, cost, and grain waste that continue to trouble or linger in
her thoughts. There are several solutions accessible in this case study that Poonam Shah
might consider or illuminate in order to resolve this issue.
Problem Statement:
Poonam Shah is struggling to decide on the best course of action as she tries to identify the
problems or difficulties related to food security in Madhya Pradesh. The main issue in this
case study is weighing heavily on her mind. It is vital to identify the many sorts of
approaches or strategies that may be used to handle this issue and guarantee that food grains
are easily available to fair shops and the general public at the correct type, at the right type,
and at a value price. This is accomplished by utilising a variety of simple modes of
transportation and rapid routes.
Solutions:
 In order to obtain a loan from the government at a cheaper interest rate, Poonam Shah
should bargain with the government; the interest should then be paid upfront before
the government is due a late payment. Additionally, this will increase the bank's
confidence in the company, which will let it accept additional commercial
transactions.
 Raise the barrier for an amount in the firm by taking out a loan or some cash from
external or outside businesses that offer loans at reduced interest rates.
 Due to an inefficient distribution of quality control resources, some perishable
commodities end up in the trash. Corrective action needs to be taken by Poonam
Shah. She ought to get in touch with some of the companies that make things for
storage facilities, such as refrigerators, dry food dispensers, food containers, food
labels, food storage boxes, and food storage trays. When food grains are stored for a
few days in a store, these goods can provide some of the facilities needed to prevent
substantial damage.
