Abstract

This internship report presents an in-depth analysis of the core supply chain processes, such as Data visibility and Accuracy, Compliance Documentation, Vendor database, COGS Analysis and Inventory Tracking of “Chicking Bangladesh” which is a Dubai-based international fast-food chain specializing in fried chicken. This report is based on a three-month internship in the Supply Chain Department which is primarily focusing on Cost Minimization and the objective of the report is to connect academic knowledge with in-life Global business operations. This report provides detailed insights into data driven Software framework, Vendor evaluation and negotiation, BSTI Certified products, Inventory stock, Price change procedure and Promotional Planning. Working closely under the supervision of S. Mahmud Sagir, Director Supply Chain & Strategy. I actively participated in the real-time use of 3s software and Microsoft Excel that enabled effective inventory tracking, everyday sale, pick hour, purchasing details, outlet comparison, reporting and promotional executions. This report also presents a comparative description of Chicking Bangladesh offering valuable insights into data validation practices, technological integration and supply chain agility. A SWOT analysis has been shown about Chicking’s daily operation system, highlighting strengths such as high brand-value, diverse menu, and customer-centric sourcing worldwide. However, challenges like limited franchising outlets, forecasting errors and 3rd party dependency are noted. The report concludes Chicking’s growth strategy is robust and aligns with its broader business objectives, but it also has opportunities to enhance its operational agility and competitiveness through strategic technological upgrades and process refinement. Overall, this internship at Chicking provided me a practical exposure to real-world supply chain practices in a dynamic restaurant setting. The experience deepened the intern’s understanding of supply chain management, ERP systems, vendor relations and data driven decision making skills that are essential for a successful career in business operations and inventory management.
