Industry Overview





Chemical industry is one of Indias oldest industries, contributing significantly towards the
industrial and economic growth of the nation. The Indian Chemical Industry forms the backbone
of the industrial and agricultural development of India and provides building blocks for several
downstream industries. According to the Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals, the
Indian chemical industry is estimated to be worth approximately US$ 35 bn, which is about 3%
of Indias total GDP. The total investment in the Indian chemical industry is approximately US$
60 bn and total employment generated was about 1 mn. In terms of volume, it is 12th largest in
the world and 3rd largest in Asia.

Exports of chemicals from India have increased significantly and account for about 14% of total
exports and 9% of total imports of the country. The Indian chemical industry comprises both
small and large-scale units. Fiscal concessions granted to the small sector in the mid-eighties led
to the establishment of a large number of units in the Small Scale Industries (SSI) sector.

The major sub segments of this industry include alkali, organic chemicals, inorganic chemicals,
pesticides, dyes & dyestuffs and specialty chemicals. The Indian chemical industry deals in
products like fertilizers, bromine compounds, catalyst, sodium and sodium compounds, dye
intermediates, inks and resins, phosphorous, paint chemicals, coatings, isobutyl, zinc sulphate,
zinc chloride, water treatment chemicals, organic surfactants, pigment dispersions, industrial
aerosols and many more.

The commodity chemicals are the largest segment in the chemical market. Some of the major
markets for chemicals are North America, Western Europe, Japan and emerging economies in
Asia and Latin America. The Indian chemical industry is matured and is in the midst of a major
restructuring and consolidation phase. Globalization has opened the doors for this sector to
capture a major part of the global market pie.

The sector has experienced many reforms in India and is expected to grow at 15% p.a. in the near
future. The investment in R&D will also play a vital role in this sector. In a nutshell, the Indian
chemical industry has a large potential to grow in domestic as well as in export markets. In the
current market conditions, with an appreciating rupee, pricing will be a crucial factor while
competing with other exporting countries.

LITERATURE REVIEW


INTRODUCTION
FLOYD D. HEDRICK, library of congress, Washington D.C "Inventory" to many small business
owners is one of the more visible and tangible aspects of doing business. Raw materials, goods in
process and finished goods all represent various forms of inventory. Each type represents money
tied up until the inventory leaves the company as purchased products. Likewise, merchandise
stocks in a retail store contribute to profits only when their sale puts money into the cash register.
In a literal sense, inventory refers to stocks of anything necessary to do business. These stocks
represent a large portion of the business investment and must be well managed in order to
maximize profits. In fact, many small businesses cannot absorb the types of losses arising from
poor inventory management. Unless inventories are controlled, they are unreliable, inefficient
and costly.
SUCCESSFUL INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
Successful inventory management involves balancing the costs of inventory with the benefits of
inventory. Many small business owners fail to appreciate fully the true costs of carrying
inventory, which include not only direct costs of storage, insurance and taxes, but also the cost of
money tied up in inventory. This fine line between keeping too much inventory and not enough
is not the manager's only concern. Others include:
- Maintaining a wide assortment of stock -- but not spreading the rapidly moving ones too thin;
- Increasing inventory turnover -- but not sacrificing the service level;
- Keeping stock low -- but not sacrificing service or performance.
- Obtaining lower prices by making volume purchases -- but not ending up with slow-moving
inventory; and
- Having an adequate inventory on hand -- but not getting caught with obsolete items.
The degree of success in addressing these concerns is easier to gauge for some than for others.
For example, computing the inventory turnover ratio is a simple measure of managerial
performance. This value gives a rough guideline by which managers can set goals and evaluate
performance, but it must be realized that the turnover rate varies with the function of inventory,
the type of business and how the ratio is calculated (whether on sales or cost of goods sold).
Average inventory turnover ratios for individual industries can be obtained from trade
associations.

.
DEVELOPMENTS IN INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
In recent years, two approaches have had a major impact on inventory
management: Material Requirements Planning (MRP) and Just-In-Time (JIT and Kanban). Their
application is primarily within manufacturing but suppliers might find new requirements placed
on them and sometimes buyers of manufactured items will experience a difference in delivery.
Material requirements planning is basically an information system in which sales are converted
directly into loads on the facility by sub-unit and time period. Materials are scheduled more
closely, thereby reducing inventories, and delivery times become shorter and more practical
predictable. Its primary use is with products composed of many components. MRP systems are
for smaller firms. The computer system is only one part of the total project which is usually long-
term, taking one to three years to develop.
Just-in-time inventory management is an approach which works to eliminate inventories rather
than optimize them. The inventory of raw materials and work-in-process falls to that needed in a
single day. This is accomplished by reducing set-up times and lead times so that small lots may
be ordered. Suppliers may have to make several deliveries a day or move close to the user plants
to support this plan.
TIPS FOR BETTER INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
At time of delivery
- Verify count -- Make sure you are receiving as many cartons as are listed on the delivery
receipt.
- Carefully examine each carton for visible damage -- If damage is visible, note it on the delivery
receipt and have the driver sign your copy.
- After delivery, immediately open all cartons and inspect for merchandise damage.
When damage is discovered
- Retain damaged items -- All damaged materials must be held at the point received.
- Call carrier to report damage and request inspection.
- Confirm call in writing--This is not mandatory but it is one way to protect yourself.
Carrier inspection of damaged items
- Have all damaged items in the receiving area -- Make certain the damaged items have not
moved from the receiving area prior to inspection by carrier.
47

- After carrier/inspector prepares damage report, carefully read before signing.
After inspection
- Keep damaged materials -- Damaged materials should not be used or disposed of without
permission by the carrier.
- Do not return damaged items without written authorization from shipper/supplier.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide a review of inventory management
articles published in major logistics outlets, identify themes from the literature and
provide future direction for inventory management research to be published in logistics
journals.
Design/methodology/approach Articles published in major logistics articles,
beginning in 1976, which contribute to the inventory management literature are
reviewed and cataloged. The articles are segmented based on major themes extracted
from the literature as well as key assumptions made by the particular inventory
management model.
Findings Two major themes are found to emerge from logistics research focused on
inventory management. First, logistics researchers have focused considerable attention
on integrating traditional logistics decisions, such as transportation and warehousing,
with inventory management decisions, using traditional inventory control models.
Second, logistics researchers have more recently focused on examining inventory
management through collaborative models.
Originality/value This paper catalogs the inventory management articles published in
the major logistics journals, facilitates the awareness and appreciation of such work,
and stands to guide future inventory management research by highlighting gaps and
unexplored topics in the extant literature.

Abstract
Purpose This paper sets out to discuss practical inventory control systems.
Orthodox theory revolves around the purchaser and balances ordering costs against
charges for carrying goods in stock. However, for any company holding thousands of
different items the directives for constructing the best system(s) are confusing and the
logic seems inconsistent. The research objective is to clarify this hitherto unsatisfactory
situation and to provide robust guidelines for managing such inventories.
Design/methodology/approach A small number of published examples are described in
sufficient detail to reveal what these firms actually do. Each case is dissected to uncover
management's motives, since the original reports were not embellished with useful
analytical comments. The aim is to reconstruct the overall design process.
Findings The myopic standpoint of established models neglects the impact of various
ordering policies at the supplier's end, where the promotion of cost-effective and
responsive warehouse and transport operations is paramount. As a rule, both areas benefit
from stable resources planning, based on cyclic orders and delivery schedules along fixed
vehicle routes.
Practical implications An alternative top down approach is proposed. The main
thrust is the efficient deployment of a designated transport fleet. Also, some salient points
are made concerning the relative merits of P- and Q-type stock replenishment modes.
Originality/value The paper provides a new perspective on stock control that brings
theory into line with modern supply chain management concepts.

INVENTORIES
The theoretical background is a ground for the various analyses done in the company. It is the
base on which the statistics and analysis is done. The ground on which the various analyses done are
given below, which is stated as the Theoretical Background.

Let me step inside the theoretical background for The Role of Finance in the Inventory
Management by first conveying a small incident which took place in a company.

A journalist once asked a director of a very big company,
Sir how your company is able to increase its profit year after year when other companies find going very
tough?
The director laughed and said, Because we plug our cost-leaks before they become cost-holes.

The reply given by the director is both interesting and true. Small leaks if plugged in time, can contribute
a lot towards profit and hence to the productivity of the company. There are number of areas in which
cost-leaks exist and one of the major ones is in the area of inventory management. That is why inventory
control is considered a gold minefor saving.

INTRODUCTION
Every one, be it a firm, or an institute or an establishment, or an individual, is familiar with the word
stock because each of these carry some items to meet their requirements. In trade and industry, the word
stock, is called Inventories. Inventories constitute the most significant part of current assets of a large
majority of companies in India. On an average, inventories are approximately 60% of current assets in
public limited companies in India. Because of the large size of inventories maintained by firms, a
considerable amount of feuds is required to be committed to them. It is therefore, absolutely imperative to
mnage inventories efficiently and efficiently in order to avoid unnecessary investment. A firm neglecting
the management of inventories will be jeopardizing its long run profitability and may fail ultimately. It is
possible for fore a company to reduce its levels of inventories to a considerable degree e.g. 10 to 20
percent, without any adverse effect on production and sales, by using simple inventory planning and
control techniques. The reduction in excessive inventory carries a favourable impact on a companys
profitability.

MEANING OF INVENTORY
Inventory is the physical stoke of goods maintained in an organization for its smooth sunning. In
accounting language it may mean stock of finished goods only. In a manufacturing concern, it may
includes raw materials, work-in-progress and stores etc. In the form of materials or supplies to be
consumed in the production process or in the rendering of services. In brief, Inventory is unconsumed or
unsold goods purchased or manufactured.

OBJECTIVES OF INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
The basic managerial objectives of inventory control are two-fold; first, the avoidance over-investment or
under-investment in inventories; and second, to provide the right quantity of standard raw material to the
production department at the right time. In brief, the objectives of inventory control may be summarized
as follows:


52

A. Operating Objectives:
(1) Ensuring Availability of Materials:
There should be a continuous availability of all types of raw materials in the factory so that the production
may not be help up wants of any material. A minimum quantity of each material should be held in store to
permit production to move on schedule.
(2) Avoidance of Abnormal Wastage:
There should be minimum possible wastage of materials while these are being stored in the go downs or
used in the factory by the workers. Wastage should be allowed up to a certain level known as normal
wastage. To avoid any abnormal wastage, strict control over the inventory should be exercised. Leakage,
theft, embezzlements of raw material and spoilage of material due to rust, bust should be avoided.
(3) Promotion of Manufacturing Efficiency:
If the right type of raw material is available to the manufacturing departments at the right time, their
manufacturing efficiency is also increased. Their motivation level rises and morale is improved.
(4) Avoidance of Out of Stock Danger:
Information about availability of materials should be made continuously available to the management so
that they can do planning for procurement of raw material. It maintains the inventories at the optimum
level keeping in view the operational requirements. It also avoids the out of stock danger.
(5) Better Service to Customers:
Sufficient stock of finished goods must be maintained to match reasonable demand of the customers for
prompt execution of their orders.
(6)Highlighting slow moving and obsolete items of materials.
(7) Designing poorer organization for inventory management:
Clear cut accountability should be fixed at various levels of organization.



53


B. Financial Objectives:
(1) Economy in purchasing:
A proper inventory control brings certain advantages and economies in purchasing also. Every attempt
has to make to effect economy in purchasing through quantity and taking advantage to favourable
markets.
(2) Reasonable Price:
While purchasing materials, it is to be seen that right quality of material is purchased at reasonably low
price. Quality is not to be sacrificed at the cost of lower price. The material purchased should be of the
quality alone which is needed.
(3) Optimum Investing and Efficient Use of capital:
The basic aim of inventory control from the financial point of view is the optimum level of investment in
inventories. There
Should be no excessive investment in stock, etc. Investment in inventories must not tie up funds that
could be used in other activities. The determination of maximum and minimum level of stock attempt in
this direction.








54

TYPES OF INVENTORIES
A manufacturing firm generally carries following major kinds of inventories:-
1. Raw materials
2. Work-in-progress
3. Finished goods
4. Tools
5. Supplies (E.g. Materials used in running the plant or in making companys product like broom,
cotton waste, cloth waste)
6. Machinery spares (Ball bearings, v-belt, oil seals, springs)

Inventories are stock of the product a company is manufacturing for sale and components
that make up the product. The various forms in which inventory exist in a manufacturing company are
raw materials, work in progress and finished goods.
RAW MATERIALS:-
Raw materials are those inputs that are converted into finished product though the
manufacturing process. Raw materials inventories are those units which have been purchased and stored
for future productions.
WORK IN PROGRESS:-
These inventories are semi manufactured products. They represent products that need
more work before they become finished products for sales.
FINISHED GOODS:-
Finished goods inventories are those completely manufactured products which are ready
for sale. Stock of raw materials and work in progress facilitate production. While stock of finished goods
is required for smooth marketing operation. Thus, inventories serve as a link between the production and
consumption of goods. The level of three kinds of inventories for a firm depend on the nature of its
business. A manufacturing firm will have substantially high levels of all three kinds of inventories, while
are tail or wholesale firm will have a very high and no raw material and work in progress inventories.
Within manufacturing firms, there will be differences. Large heavy engineering
55

Companies produce long production cycle products, therefore they carry large
inventories. On the other hand, inventories of a consumer product company will not be large, because of
short production cycle and fast turn over. Firms also maintain a fourth kind of inventory, supplies or
stores and spares.
SUPPLIES:
It includes office and plant cleaning materials like soap, brooms, oil, fuel, light, bulbs etc. These materials
do not directly enter production, but are necessary for production process. Usually, these supplies are
small part of the total inventory and do not involve significant investment. Therefore, a sophisticated
system of inventory control may not be maintained for them.

MANAGEMENT OF INVENTORY
Inventories constitute the principal item in the working capital of the majority of trading and industrial
companies. In inventory, we include raw materials, finished goods, work-in-progress, supplies and other
accessories. To maintain the continuity in the operations of business enterprise, a minimum stock of
inventory required. However, the physical control of inventory is the operating responsibility of stores
superintendent and financial personnel have nothing to do about it but the financial control of these
inventories in all lines of activity in which they comprise a substantial part of the current assets is a
frequent problem in the management of working capital. Management of inventory is designed to regulate
the volume of investment in goods on hand, the types of goods carried in stock to meet the needs of
production, and sales while at the same time, the investment in them is to be kept at reasonable level.






56

CONCEPT OF INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

The term inventory management is used in two ways- unit control and value control. Production and
purchase officials use this word in term unit control whereas in accounting this word is used in term of
value control. As investment in inventory represents in many cases, one of the largest asset items of
business enterprises particularly those engaged in manufacturing, wholesale trade and retail trade.
Sometimes the cost of material used in production surpasses the wages and production overheads. Hence,
the proper management and control of capital invested in the inventory should be the prime responsibility
of accounting department because resources invested in inventory are not earning a return for the
company. Rather, on the other hand, they are costing the firm money both in terns of capital costs being
incurred and loss of opportunity income that is being foregone.

MAJOR REASONS TO HAVE INVENTORIES
1. To gain economy in purchasing.
2. To keep pace with the changing market conditions.
3. To satisfy demand during period of replenishment.
4. To carry reserve stock to avoid stock-out.
5. To prevent loss of sale.
6. To stabilize production.
7. To satisfy other business constraints
E.g. Suppliers condition of minimum quantity.
Government regulation.
Seasonal availability.

CONTROL OF MATERIALS
Rigid control over materials are necessary not only to guard against theft, but also to minimize waste and
misuse from causes such as excessive inventories, over issue, deterioration, spoilage, and obsolescence.
There are certain prerequisites to an effective control system for materials: 1.Materials of the desired
quantity will be available when needed; 2.Materials will be purchased only when a need exists and in
57

economical qualities; 3.Purchases of materials will be made at most favourable prices; 4.Vouchers for the
payments of materials purchased will be approved only if the materials have been received in good
condition;
5. Materials will be protected against loss by proper physical control; 6.Issue of materials will be properly
authorized and accounted for; and 7.All materials, at all times, will be charged, as the responsibility of
some individual. The control of materials, as an element of cost of production, is illustrated with reference
to the purchase and issues procedures, inventory systems, and inventory control techniques.

IMPORTANCE OF INVENTORY CONTROL:
The importance or necessity of inventory control is well explained in the terms of the objects of inventory
control, which are obtained through it. A proper inventory control lowers down the cost of production and
improves profitability of enterprise.
ADVANTAGES OF INVENTORY CONTROL:
(1)Reduction in investment in inventory.(2)Proper and efficient use of raw materials. (3)No bottleneck in
production. (4)Improvement in production and sales.(5)Efficient and optimum use of physical as well as
financial resources.
(6)Ordering cost can be reduced if a firm places a few large orders in place of numerous small orders.
(7)Maintenance of adequate inventories reduces the set-up cost associated with each production run.
Risk and cost Associated with Inventories:
Holding of Inventories expose the firm to a number of risks and costs.
Major risks are:-
(a) Price decline
: They may be due to increase in market supply of the product, introduction of a new competitive product,
price-cut by the competitors etc.
(b) Product deterioration:
This may due to holding a product for too long a period or improper storage conditions.
58

(c) Obsolescence:
This may due to change in customers taste, new production technique, improvements in product design,
specifications etc.
The Costs of holding inventories are as follows:
(a) Material Cost:
This includes the cost of purchasing the goods, transportation and handling charges less any discount
allowed by the supplier of goods.
(b) Ordering Cost:
This includes the variables cost associated with placing an order for the goods. The fewer the orders, the
lower will be the ordering costs for the firm.
(c) Carrying Cost:
This includes the expenses for storing and handling the goods. It comprises storage costs, insurance costs,
spoilage costs, cost of funds tied up in inventories etc.
ESSENTIALS OF INVENTORY CONTROL SYSTEM
For an efficient and successful inventory control there are certain important conditions that are a follows:
(1) Classification and Identification of inventories:
The usual inventory of manufacturing firm includes raw-material, stores, work-in-progress and
component etc. To facilitate prompt recording the dealing, each item of the inventory must be assigned a
particular code number and it must be classified in suitable group or sub-divisions. ABC analysis of
material is very helpful in this context.
(2) Standardization and simplification of inventories:
In order to facilitate inventory control, the inventory line should be simplified. It refers to the elimination
of excess types and sizes of items. Simplification leads to reduction in classification of inventories and its
carrying costs. Standardization, on the other hand, refers to the fixation of
Standards of raw material to be purchased and specification of the components and tools to be used.
59


(3) Setting the Maximum and Minimum limits for each part of inventory:
The third step in this process is to set the maximum and minimum limits of each item of the inventory. It
avoids the chances of over-investment as well as running a short of any item during the cost of producing.
Reordering point should also be fixed beforehand.
(4) Economic Order Quantity:
It is also a basic inventory problem to determine the quantity as how much to order at a time. In
determining the EOQ, the problem is one to set a balance between two opposite costs, namely, ordering
costs and carrying costs. This quantity should be fixed beforehand.
(5)Adequate storage Facilities:
To make the system of inventory control successful and efficient one, it is also essential to provide the
adequate storage facilities. Sufficient storage area and proper handling facilities should be organized.
(6)Adequate Reports and Records:
Inventory control requires the maintenance of adequate inventory record and reports. Various inventory
records must contain information to meet the needs of purchasing, production, sales and financial staff.
The typical information required about any class of inventory may be relating to quantity on hand,
location, quantities in transit, unit cost, code for each item of inventory, reorder point, safety level etc.
Statements forms and inventory records should be so designed that the clerical cost of maintaining these
records must be kept a minimum.
(7)Intelligent and Experienced Personnel:
An important requirement of successful inventory control system is the appointment of qualified and
experienced staff in purchase and stores department. Mere establishment of procedures and the
maintenance of records would not give the desired results as there is no substitute for sincere and devoted
as well as
Experienced hands. Hence, the whole inventory control structure should be manned with trained,
qualified, experienced and devoted employees.

60

(8)Coordination:
There must be proper coordination of all departments involved in the process of inventory control, such as
purchase, finance, receiving, approving, storage and accounting departments. These all departments have
different outlook and objects in inventory management but financial manager has to coordinate them all.
(9)Budgeting:
An efficient budgeting system is also required. Preparation of budgets concerning materials, supplies and
equipment to ensure economy in purchasing and use of material is also necessary.
(10)Internal Check:
Operating of a system of internal check is also vital in inventorymanagement so that all transactions
involving material supplies and equipment purchase are properly approved and automatically checked.

TECHNIQUES OF INVENTORY CONTROL
In managing inventories, the firms objective should be in consonance with the wealth maximization
principle. To achieve this, the firm should determine the optimum level of investment in inventory. To
deal with the problems of inventory management effectively, it becomes necessary to be conversant with
the different techniques of inventory control. Although the concepts involved in inventory management
are production-oriented and are not strictly financial it is important that the financial manager understand
them since they have certain built-in financial costs. The different techniques of inventory control may be
summarized as follows:
(1) Inventory level Technique
The main objective of stock control is to determine and maintain the optimum level of stock so that there
is neither shortage of any material nor unnecessary investment in inventory. For this purpose,
determination of maximum and minimum limits of inventory and ordering level is necessary.
(2) Maximum stock Limit:
This represents the quantity of inventory above which it should not be allowed to be kept. The main
object of fixing this limit is to ensure that unnecessary working capital is not blocked in stores. The
quantity is fixed keeping in view the disadvantages of overstocking.
61

The disadvantages of overstocking are:
1. Capital is blocked up unnecessarily in stores so there will be loss of interest.2.More go down space is
needed so more rent will have to be paid.3.There are chances of deterioration in quality because large
stocks will require more time for use is the factory.4.There is the possibility of loss due to
obsolescence.5.There is danger of depreciation in market values.
The maximum stock level is fixed by taking into account the following factors:
(1) Amount of capital available for maintaining stores.(2) Go down space available.(3) Rate of
consumption of the material.(4) The time lag between indenting and receiving of the material.(5) Length
and technical nature of the production process.(6) Possibility of loss in stores by deterioration,
evaporation etc. There are certain stores, which deteriorate in quality if they are stored for longer
period.(7) Cost of maintaining stores.
(8) Likely fluctuation in prices. For instance, if there is a possibility of a substantial increase in prices in
the coming period, a comparatively large maximum stock level will be fixed. On the other hand, if there
is the possibility of decrease in price in the near future, stocks are kept at a much reduced level.(9) The
seasonal nature of supply of material. Certain materials are available only during specific periods of year.
So these have to be stocked heavily during these periods.(10)Restrictions imposed by the government or
local authority in regard to materials which there are inherent risks, e.g. fire and explosion.(11)Risk of
obsolescence, i.e., possibility of change in fashion and habit which will necessitate change in
requirements of materials.
The following formula may be applied to calculate the maximum stock:
(1)Maximum Stock = Minimum Inventory + Lot size (2)Maximum Stock = Reorder Level - Minimum
consumption during Minimum lead time +Lot size
Minimum Stock Limit (Safety or Buffer stock)
This represents the quantity below which stock should not be allowed to fall. It is maintained to save from
the situation of stock out in the event of abnormal increase in material usage rate and/or delivery period.
In fact determination of this quantity is significant because of uncertainty in respect to material usage rate
and delivery period. The main purpose of this level is to ensure that production is not held up due to
shortage of any material. This level is fixed for all items of stores and following factors are taken into
account for the fixation of this level:
62

(a) Lead time
i.e. time lag between intending and receiving the material.

(b) Rate of consumption
of the material during the lead time.
(c) Re-order Level
The following formula is applied to calculate Minimum Stock:
Minimum Stock = Re-order Level - Normal usage during Normal Lead time
But if normal usage and normal lead time is not known then average usage will be treated as normal
usage and average re-order will be treated as normal re-order period.
Re-ordering Level (Ordering Level)
It is the point at which if the stock of the material in stores reaches, the storekeeper should initiate the
purchase requisition for fresh supply of material. This level is fixed somewhere between maximum and
minimum level is such a way that the difference of quantity of the material between the reordering level
and the minimum level will be sufficient to meet requirements of production up to the time of fresh
supply of the material. It is fixed after taking into consideration the following factors:
(a) Rate of material usage
: Generally this rate is found out as usage rate per day, pre week or per month. The quantity of production
fluctuates according to demand of the product which results in variation in usage rate.
Hence, the following three factors:
(i) Maximum usage rate:
It implies quantity of material required at maximum capacity production.
(ii) Minimum usage rate:
It implies quantity of material required at capacity production in most unfavourable business conditions.
63

(iii) Normal or average Usage Rate:
It implies quantity of material required at capacity production under normal business conditions.

(b) Ordering Period:
The time taken in preparing the order for purchase of material is called ordering period. In some concerns
this period may be significant but in large concerns this
Period is significant because before placing the order the purchase manager has to trace out to best
suppliers, after that only he places the order.
(c) Delivery, Lead or Procurement Time:
The time taken from the date of placing the order to the date of delivery by the suppliers is called
procurement time. The maximum, minimumand average procurement time should also be determined.
(D) Minimum Stock Level:
This is the level of stock below which stocks should normallynot be allowed to fall.

Danger Level
This means a level at which normal issues of the material are stopped and issues made only under specific
instructions. The purchase officer will make special arrangements to procure
The materials reaching at their danger levels so that the production may not stop due to shortage of
materials. It is determined as follows:
Danger level = Average Consumption x Maximum
Re-order period for Emergency Purchase



64

PERPETUAL INVENTORY CONTROL TECHNIQUE
Perpetual inventory system implies maintenance of up-to-date stock records and in its broad sense it
covers both continuous stock taking as well as up-to-date recording stores books. According to Weldon, It
may be defined as a method of recording stores balances after every receipt and issue to facilitate regular
checking and to obviate closing down for sock-taking. The basic object of this system is to make
available details about the quantity and value of stock of each item at all times. The system thus provides
a rigid control over stock of each item of store can regularly be verified with the stock records in the bin
cards kept in the stores and stores ledger maintained in cost office.
Advantages of Perpetual Inventory system:
1. Saving in time:
The long and costly work of stocktaking is avoided. Hence, interim and final financial accounts can be
prepared with greater convenience.
2. Arrangement of proper verification:
In this system a detailed and more reliable checking of the store is exercised because of the continuous
and random checking.
3. Verification of Errors:
Errors are easily located and rectified. This gives an opportunity for preventing a recurrence in many
cases.
4. Double control
: Due to separate records in Bin card and stores ledger, double control is maintained.
5. Optimum size of material:
Overstocking and under stocking can be avoided because perpetual inventory system covers verification
of stock with regards to maximum, minimum and other levels.
6. Lack of misuse of Material:
Under this system, effective control on issue of material is possible, thus misuse of material can be
avoided.
65

7. Moral Check on Stores staff:
Due to continuous checking, this system serves as a moral check on the stores staff. They are discouraged
from committing dishonesty.
8. Loss of stock due to obsolescence:
It is detected at an early stage and so timely action can be taken to prevent recurrence.

The details for the ABC criteria of analysis are given below:

ABC ANALYSIS

Usage Value (consumption per period/price per unit)
ABC ANALYSIS
ABC analysis underlines a very important principle Vital few: Trivial many. Statistics reveals that
just a handful of items account for bulk of the annual expenditure on materials. These few items, called
A items, therefore hold the key to the business.
The other item, known as B and C items, are numerous in number but their contribution is less
significant.ABC analysis thus tends to segregate all items into three categories: A, B, C on the basis of
their annual usage. The categorization so made enables one to pay the right amount of attention as merit
by the item.
A- Items: It is usually found that hardly 5-10% of the total items accounts for 70-75% of the total
money spent on the materials. These items require detailed and rigid control and need to be
stocked in smaller quantities. These items should be procured frequently. The quantity per
occasion being small.
A healthy approach, however would be to enter into contract with the manufacturers of
these items and have their supply in staggered lots according to the production programme of the
buyer. The inventory can be kept minimum by frequent ordering.

B- Items: These items are generally 10 15% of the total items, and represent 10 to 15 % of the
total expenditure on materials. These are intermediate items. The control on these items need not
be as detailed and as rigid as applied to A items.

C- Items: These are numerous (as many as 70 80 % of the total items, inexpensive (represents
hardly 5-10 % of the total annual expenditure on the materials and hence insignificant (do not
require lose control) items. C items should be procured infrequently and in sufficient quantities.
This avails the buyer to avail price discounts.

ECONOMIC ORDER QUANTITY (EOQ) MODEL

The economic order quantity (EOQ) is that level of inventory order that minimizes the
total costs associated with inventory management. It is the size of quantity to be purchase is one lot so
that the total cost of managing inventory is reduced. In determining this order quantity, it is assumed that
the cost managing and inventory is made up solely of two parts ordering cost and carrying cost. In the
word of EOQ is that order size at which the total of ordering cost and carrying cost is minimum.

Buying in bulk implies higher inventory level involving higher carrying cost but since the
number of order will be less to procure materials during a particular period, he ordering cost will b less.
On the other hand, if we place small orders, the number of orders will go up and so the ordering cost, but
carrying cost of holding inventory will be reduced to a great extent EOQ is the level of order quantity at
which total cost is minimum. The graph showing determination of EOQ is shown below:
ASSUMPTIONS OF EOQ MODEL

EOQ model, as the technique to determine the economic order quantity is based on three
major assumptions
The annual demand or usage for a particular item of inventory is known with certainty.
The rate of usage of inventory is firm.
The order to replenish the inventory of an item is filled instantaneously.
In other word lead time is assumed to be 0.
There is known or constant price per unit, i.e. there are no price discount.





70

DETERMINATION OF EOQ
The economic by order quantity n be ascertained using the following formula

Where,
A= Annual usage of inventory
O= Ordering cost per order
C= Annual carrying cost per unit

Objectives
To minimize the average annual variable cost

Problem
To determine when an order should be placed and how much quantity should be order
The annual variable cost for this problem is two type
Ordering or setup cost
Inventory holding cost
As Q is order quantity and D is annual demand the number of order per year will be D/Q. Therefore, the
annual ordering cost will be = A.D/Q









71

HML CLASSIFICATION

The high, medium and low (HML) classification follows the same procedure as his
adopted in ABC classification. Only difference is that in HML , The classification unit value is the
criterion and not the annual consumption value. The items of inventory should be listed in the descending
order of unit value and it is up to the management to fix limits for three categories. For example, the
management may decide that all units with unit value of Rs. 2000 and above will be H items, Rs.1000 to
2000 M items and less than Rs.1000 L items.
The HML analysis is useful for keeping control over consumption at
departmental level, for deciding the frequency of physical verification , and for controlling purchases.


SDE CLASSIFICATION

The SDE analysis is based upon the availability of items and is very useful in the
context of scarcity of supply. In this analysis , S refers to Scarce items , generally imported, and those,
which are in short supply. D refers to difficult items, which are available indigenously but are difficult
items to procure. Items, which have to come from distant place or for which reliable suppliers are difficult
to come by , fall into D category. E refers to items which are easy to acquire and which are
available in the local market.
The SDE classification, based on problems faced in procurement, is vital to the lead-
time analysis and in deciding on purchasing strategies.





72

FSN ANALYSIS

FSN stands for fast moving slow moving and non- moving. Here, classification is based
on the pattern of issues from stores and is useful in controlling obsolescence.
To carry out an FSN analysis the date of receipt or the last date of issue, whichever is
later, is taken to determine the number of months, which have lapsed since the last transaction. The item
usually grouped in periods of 12 months.
FSN analysis is helpful in identifying active items, which need to be reviewed regularly,
and surplus items, which have to be examined further. Non moving items may be examined further and
their disposal can be considered.

VED CLASSIFICATION

The VED analysis is done to determine the criticality of an item its effect on production d
other services. It is specially used for classification of spares parts. If a part s Vital it is given V
classification, if it is essential, then it is given E classification and if it is not so essential, the part is
given D classification. For V items, a large stock of inventory is generally maintained, while for D
items, minimum stock is enough.

JUST IN TIME
Just-in-time inventory system is designed to ensure that materials or supplies
arrive at a facility just when they are needed so that storage and holding cost are minimised. The just in
time system requires considerable cooperation between the suppliers and the customer. The customer
must specify what will be needed, when, and in what amounts. The supplier must be sure that the right
supplies arrive at the agreed on time and location.
Japanese firms popularized the just in time system in the world. In a JIT system material r
the manufactured components and parts arrive to the manufacturing sites or stores just few hours before
73

they are put to use. The delivery of material is synchronized with the manufacturing cycle and speed. JIT
system eliminates the necessity of carrying large system requires perfect understanding and coordination
between the manufacturer and suppliers in terms of the delivery and quality of the material. Poor quality
material or components could halt the production. The JIT inventory system complements the total quality
management (TQM). The success of the system depends on how well company manages its suppliers. The
system puts tremendous pressure on suppliers.

ADVANTAGES OF JUST IN TIME SYSTEM (JIT)

Lower investment in inventory.
Reduce inventory carrying and handling cost.
Reduce costs resulting from obsolete inventory.
Smaller investment in inventory storage space.



GOLF analysis

In this analysis, the classification of existing inventory is based sources of the items. They are classified
as Government supply, ordinarily available, local availability and foreign source of supply items.
SOS analysis

In this analysis, the classification of existing inventory is based nature of supply of items. They are
classified as seasonal and off-seasonal items.



74

CHANGES IN WORKING CAPITAL
The excess of current assets over current liabilities is referred to as the companys working
capital. The difference between the working capital for two given reporting periods is called the change in
working capital. Changes in working capital simply show the net effect on cash flows of this adding and
subtracting from current assets and current liabilities.
When changes in working capital are negative, the company is investing heavily in its current
assets, or else drastically reducing its current liabilities. When changes in working capital are positive, the
company is either selling off current assets or else raising its current liabilities.

PROPORTION OF INVENTORY TO TOTAL ASSETS
For the calculation of inventory to total assets, you can get the values of the inventory and total
assets from the balance sheet of the company. The inventory will be available in the current assets of the
company. Take this value and divide it by the total assets given on the balance sheet. Total assets are
equal to the sum of current and non-current assets.
The percentage of inventory to total assets is known as Inventory to assets ratio. It shows the
percentage of the assets tied up in the inventory of the company. Generally, the lower percentage value of
this ratio is considered better for the company

INVENTORY TURNOVER RATIO
Inventory turnover ratio measures the velocity of conversion of stock into sales. Usually a high
inventory turnover/stock velocity indicates efficient management of inventory because more frequently
the stocks are sold, the lesser amount of money is required to finance the inventory.
A low inventory turnover implies over-investment in inventories, dull business, poor quality of
goods, stock accumulation, accumulation of obsolete and slow moving goods and low profits as
compared to total investment. The inventory turnover ratio is also an index of profitability, where a high
ratio signifies more profit, a low ratio signifies low profit.
Sometimes, a high inventory turnover ratio may not be accompanied by relatively high profits. Similarly
a high turnover ratio may be due to under-investment in inventories

FINANCIAL MANAGERS ROLE IN INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
Inventory represents a large investment by manufacturing concern: therefore, great emphasis must be
placed on its efficient management. Though, the operative responsibility for Inventory management lies
with the inventory manager, the financial manager must also be concerned with all types of inventories-
raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods. He must monitor Inventory levels and see that only
an optimum amount is invested in Inventory. He should be familiar with the Inventory control techniques
and ensure that Inventory is managed well.
He should try to resolve the conflicting view points of all the departments in order to have efficient
inventory management. He has to act as a careful inspector levels. He should introduce the policies which
reduce the lead time, regulate usage and thus, minimize safety stock. All these techniques of Inventory
management lead to the goal of wealth maximization.
LIMITATION OF INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
From the above discussions, it will be seen that on the one hand inventories are idle and valuable
resource i.e. capital remain locked up in the inventories which can be used for other productive
purpose but on the other hand, they are desirable to satisfy manufacturing, maintenance operation
requirement of the organization. Hence basic problem of the inventory management is to optimize the
stock level of different material so that their stocks are maintained at optimum level without affecting
the production or day to day maintenance. There are three basic problems of stocks are:

When to initiate purchase of the materials.
How much quantities are to be purchase at a time and
What should be the levels of different items.

For getting answers to these questions, we have to investigate various types of costs related to inventories
management.

We can interpreted from the analysis of year 2009-10 & 2010-11 that the inventory in 2011-12 is less than
that of 2009-10 & 2010-11. So we can say that with the proper usage of the inventory in 2011-12 the
company sold their product. Which tell us that the companys inventory management with the raw
material is far better than that in 2009-10 & 2010-11.

Graphical Approach of EOQ Model
The economic order quantity can also be found graphically. The figure illustrates the EOQ
function . In the figure cost carrying cost and order cost and total cost are plotted on vertical axis
and horizontal axis is used to represent the order size. We note that the total carrying cost
increases as the order size increase, because on average a large inventory level will be
maintained and ordering cost decline with increase in order size because large order size means a
less number of order. The behavior of total cost line is noticeable since it is a sum of two type of
cost, which behave differently with order size. The total cost decline in first instance, but they
started rising when the decrease in average ordering cost is more than offset by the increase in
carrying cost.


GRAPHICAL PRESENTATION:

(Carrying cost) Q/2 H

DS/Q (Ordering Cost)




EOQ

Order quantity size (Q)

The EOQ occurs at the point Q where the total cost is minimum. Thus the firms operating
profit is maximized at point Q.
It should be noted that the total cost of the inventory are fairly intensive to moderate change in
order size. It may be appropriate to say, therefore, that there is an economic order range, not a
point. To determine this range the order size may be changed by some percentage and the impact
on the total cost may be studied. If the total cost do not change very significantly, the firm can
change EOQ within the range without any loss.

Analysis of the Collected Data

ABC ANALYSIS

To conduct ABC analysis the following steps are necessary.

1. Prepare the list of the item & estimate there consumption.
2.Determine price per unit of each item.
3.Multiply each annual consumption by its unit price to obtain its annual consumption in
rupees[Annual Usage]
4.Arrange the item in the descending order of there annual usage starting with the highest annual usage
down to the smallest.
5.cacculate cumulative annual usage and express the same as cumulative usage percentage. Also express
the number of the item in to cumulative item percentage.
6.plot cumulative usage percentage against cumulative items percentage and segregate the item into A B
& C categories.

Degree Of Control
A items which account for bulk annual usage value and hence attract at most attention. The inventory
should kept at minimum by placing open order or (order covering annual requirement) and arranging
supplies in staggered lots. Every attempt should be made to reduce both internal and external lead time by
closer follow up at the home plant better vender-vendee relation and market research for alternative
source of supply.
B item should be brought under normal control made possible by good record keeping and periodic
attention.
C little control is required for C item large inventory should be maintained to avoid stock outs.
Individual posting should be replaced by group postings.

Interpretation-
Here WIP means the average time taken to complete the semi-finished goods. The suggested
norm is that the working progress conversion period should be less than 1 days.As in year 2011-
12 highest days are there in WIP i.e. 40 days where as lower days of WIP is found in 2009-10 i.e.
30 days . As in year 2011-12 the company is having more inventory consumption & in 2009-10
they had very less raw material consumptions so low WIP is in that year.

the firm and in the year 2011-12 it also decrease at the level of 19.39%. This, ratio is decrease
which is good for the company to liquidate their current assets in to cash. Lower ratio is better
than a higher ratio. In India most of the firm inventory occupies on an average about 50% of total
current assets.
