Supply chain is the logistics network of suppliers, manufacturers, warehouses, distribution centres and retail outlets. Logistics, which is an aspect of military science, evolved as a business concept in the 1950s to deal with the complexity of supplying materials and shipping out products in a globalised supply chain management system.
Supply Chain Management encompasses the planning and management of all activities involved in sourcing and procurement, conversion, and all other logistics management activities. Importantly, it also includes coordination and collaboration with channel partners, which can be suppliers, intermediaries, third‐party service providers, and customers. In essence, Supply Chain Management integrates supply and demand management within and across companies

Containerisation of goods is a key technology in making multimode transport in supply chain more effective and efficient.
Multimodal transport, which is an integral part of supply chain management, refers to the transportation of goods using more than one mode of transport in an integrated and seamless manner from the origin to the destination.

Containerisstion–Future opportunities for supply chain management
1. Automobile Industry requirements
Automakers in India are the key to the supply chain and are responsible for the products and innovation in the industry. As the Indian automotive sector is booming like never before, the relevance of logistics and the supply chain have become all the more important. The automotive industry in India is one of the largest in the world and one of the fastest growing industries globally.

The supply chain of automotive industry in India is very similar to the supply chain of the automotive industry in Europe and America.
2. Retail Trade reforms
India’s growing domestic market is one of the major strengths for containerisation. The India Retail Industry is gradually inching its way towards becoming the next boom industry and there is great potential for the organized retail industry to prosper in india. In November 2011, India's central government announced retail reforms for both multi-brand stores and single-brand stores and these market reforms expect to pave the way for retail innovation and competition with global multi-brand retailers as well single brand majors.
India is becoming the most preferred destination for manufacturing outsourcing in the world, offering greater potential for containerisation. The growing industrialisation in India will boost containerisation in the country.Original equipment manufacturers (OEM) such as Samsung and LG Electronics and electronics manufacturing services (EMS)providers such as Solectron, Flextronics and Jabil already have well-established facilities in India
For the past couple of decades, Taiwan and China have been world leaders in the OEM sector, but gradually with the improvement in road infrastructure and better supply chain management, India also begun to gain a foothold in the sector.
