Diabetes is a major health challenge in South East Asia. The disease management require wide spectrum of medicine including oral medicine, insulin and antibiotics; which makes the supply chain complex. The medicine supply chain faces diverse risk in geographically diverse country like India. The disruption due to these risks can be costly; and hospitals aim to minimise these risks. For effective management of these risks, hospitals need a comprehensive method to quantify all of their significant supply chain risks. We worked with a speciality hospital in diabetes-care to map their supply chain for a few representative medicines. The disruption risks accounted in the study are due to supplier bankruptcy, natural disasters and geopolitical events. The study develops, a fuzzy model for risk assessment for the diabetes clinic. The quantification of value- at- risk of a hospital in its supply chain gave them a clearer picture of where hospital needs to focus risk management efforts.

The purpose of the paper is to comprehensively review the extant literature on the level of satisfaction of passengers in India from in–flight quality of services provided – for passengers travelling with different purpose – Business or Leisure in the low cost carriers and the passengers’ re-flying intention with the same airlines. A total of 180 research papers related to the study were accessed and only 84 papers were found to be relevant. Most of the studies conducted on airlines services quality are focused on the North American, European and South-east Asian countries, but there are limited studies on the emerging markets of the Asian region like India. SERVQUAL, SERVPERF and AIRQUAL have been used extensively as relevant tools for service quality measurement. The review of existing literature also suggests that statistical techniques mostly used for analysis included Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and Regression Analysis.

The study highlights the opportunities and threats of Indian handicraft industry with special focus on art metal-ware industry. Among others, an important art metal-ware cluster is Moradabad in Uttar Pradesh India. This cluster has over 5000 industries out of which 600 are export units have an annual export of Rs. 5,400 crore. The cluster has an annual turnover of Rs. 9,700 cr. It provides employment to 10,50,000 people. The sector is an integral part of the handicraft sector of the country and has the potential to generate employment. Despite this, the cluster faces the challenges like dearth of technological development, and poor usage of information & communication technology. (The Economic Times, June 17, 2018). Besides, there are a number of problems at the grass-root level like improvements required in processes, infrastructure and also development measures for developing the skills of the artisans (Sachan et al. 2013). If the predictable threats can be taken care of timely, art metal-ware sector can give a boost to the economy. The study uses External Factor Evaluation (EFE) Matrix which is a tool used in strategic management for analysing the opportunities and threats of an industry. Based on our personal interaction with several manufacturers and exporters of art metal-ware of Moradabad, the study concludes that it is an important sector for the economy and concrete measures are required to further strengthen it.
