by D.K. Agrawal
International Journal of Manufacturing Research (IJMR), Vol. 7, No. 2, 2012

Abstract: Demand Chain Management (DCM) is a new demand-driven based business model based on sense-and-respond philosophy that offers maximum customer value in the dynamic market condition through integration of processes and activities of marketing and Supply Chain Management (SCM). This paper examines DCM practices of two leading FMCG firms in India, namely, Hindustan Unilever Limited and Procter & Gamble Home Products Limited in relative terms on various critical success factors of DCM and found that HUL has a make-and-sell philosophy whereas P&G India has a sense-and-respond philosophy as the cores of their respective business models.
