A Study on Effectiveness of Warehousing and Distribution Strategies Adopted by Textile Industries in Tirupur
Abstract
Warehousing plays a pivotal role in strengthening supply chain efficiency in textile clusters. This study examines the effectiveness of warehousing and distribution strategies adopted by textile industries in Tirupur. Using a descriptive research design and percentage analysis, primary data were collected from 130 respondents involved in supply chain and distribution activities. The findings reveal that centralized warehouse systems (53.8%) and barcode-based inventory management (45.4%) are widely adopted. However, 84.6% of respondents experience delivery delays and 85.4% indicate the need for infrastructure improvements. The study concludes that technology adoption, automation, and infrastructure modernization are critical for enhancing distribution performance in Tirupur’s textile sector
