摘要：This paper explores ways of improving transportation and supply chain management within the foodprocessing industry (sugar industry). It involves the concept of lean tools, transportation model and supply chainmanagement in the food processing industry. Consistent supply of quality raw material (sugar cane) for processing industryis missing with improper handling and transportation systems with chances in loss of productivity. In today’s competitivemarket, it is extremely difficult to successfully produce high quality, low cost products without any other extra cost ofsuppliers. A supply chain management is an integrated network including people, organizations, information, activities andresources. Supply chains management must be able to accommodate uncertainty and variation of supply because these arevital factors that affect supply chain performance. In supply chain management information sharing system is mostimportant for batter performance. This paper represents the ways to reduce in lead time using lean tools and supply chainmanagement.
