Supply Chain Management as a subject has gained huge prominence today which is undeniable. The benefit Supply Chain extends to the organization is huge and almost all organizations are adopting the practices in their functioning. But the most positive difference felt by the utilization of Supply Chain is felt in the manufacturing and production sector. Cement is one such sector where integration of Supply Chain Management in the manufacturing has shown huge positive effect. As we have almost reached the end of second decade in the 21st century, one thing that has helped the supply of ever increasing demand of the population is the systematic approach towards production. Any production activity requires careful and well planned approach to bring out the end product which is produced by using the resources optimally without any wastage. The advent and spread of technology has been a crucial factor in this approach. Companies are thriving on thin margins to stay afloat in this competitive market. And the biggest factor for this is the deep study and research being carried out to find the best possible approach to be carried out by firms to achieve this level of competence. The markets have come a long way from being production oriented, then to being sales oriented, then customer oriented and now finally the customer is giving preference to other aspects such as green production.It was inferred that Supply Chain coupled with upgrade of technology had increased productivity. The study carried at the manufacturing plant and offices of a cement factory helps to understand these effects.
