CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION
An organization in order to attain the objective has to satisfy itself before satisfying
the customers. The organization generally comes into existence with the idea of attaining
their objectives through manufacturing products or rending service, to produce a very high
quality products or service it require factors of production viz, land, labour, capital and
enterprise or organization. Of the four factors enterprise is the most important because it is
due to the enterprise or on organization the most appropriate blending of factors of
production take place, without it the other three have no significance as they complete
depend upon organization.

The successful organization has to take care of everything in the organization to


survive, exist, grew and develops by leaps and bounds.

Moreover the organization is foundation of management, the organization plane is


ill defined, management is rendered difficulty and ineffective. If on the other hand, it is
logically clear cut and streamlined to meet present day requirement, then the first requisite
of sound management has been achieved.

INTRODUCTION ABOUT THE INTERNSHIP


As a part of curriculum, every student studying MBA has to undertake a project on
a particular subject assigned to him/her. Accordingly I have chosen the project topic as A
study of working capital management on Shilpa Medicare Ltd., Raichur.

I am thankful to have got the opportunity to do my project. Shilpa Medicare ltd,


Raichur. This was like a dream come true as it is a leading company in a place like Raichur,
which is an industrially challenged area.

The organization culture is very good and it does create a homely atmosphere and
it motivates to learn. I learned how to apply theory into practical application. In corporate
world it is necessary to be patient and polite, this company has made me to incorporate this
important qualities in my life.

During the first week, it was totally a new experience entering into the organization.
On the first day of the training, factory manager detailed us very clearly about the company
& guidelines to be followed with respect to maintaining the discipline of the organization
and also informed the safety measures.

During the twelve weeks of the project in Shilpa Medicare Ltd I learnt about the
various departments of the company and the way they function, way to deal and interact
with the clients and amongst the employees, gained practical knowledge about financial
transactions, learnt the importance of team spirit and unity at work to be successful.

Finally I would like to mention the name of Mr. N C Bhandari, who guided me
through everything I did during the project. Totally it was a highly useful training for me
in the company. This has added value in my academic learning.

TOPIC CHOSEN FOR THE STUDY


The title of the project A study on working capital management of Shilpa
Medicare Ltd, Raichur. This study does not cause all the financial components of the firm
but includes analysis of working capital of the company

NEED FOR THE STUDY


The study has been conducted for gaining practical knowledge about Working
Capital Management & activities of Shilpa Medicare Ltd., The study is undertaken as a part
of the MBA curriculum in the form of in plant training for the fulfillment of the requirement
of MBA degree.
The study of working capital is needed as a supportive base for the business
operations. It is one of the areas of financial decision-making. The study is needed because,
the management must see that excessive investment in current assets should be minimized
and at the same time it should protect the company from the problem of stock outs. As the
working capital is necessary for meeting the day-to-day expenditure of the company like
wages, salaries, fuel charges and other expenditures, it is very necessary to manage the
working capital. The liquidity of firm depends on the current assets of the company.

As from the above discussion it is clear that the working capital is very important
part of a business. In other words we can say that the working capital is the heartbeat of the
company. As the fastness and slowness of the heartbeat, are not the indicators of the good
health. Same in case of working capital, the excess and shortage of working capital also
not good for a companys liquidity.

Hence, because of all of the above reasons one should know how to manage the
working capital of the company, so the present study is conducted in Shilpa Medicare Ltd,
for the purpose of knowing the management of working capital.

LITERATURE REVIEW
AN OVER VIEW

A literature review is an essay or is part of the introduction to an essay, research report,


or thesis. It provides an overview and critical analysis of relevant published scholarly
articles, research reports, books, theses etc on the topic or issue to be investigated. A
detailed guide to the literature review is available on the Language and Learning services
website. Literature search: A systematic and exhaustive search for published material on a
specific topic.

It discusses published information in a particular subject area, and


sometimes information in a particular subject area within a certain time period.
It is a summary of research that has been published about a particular subject. It
provides the reader with an idea about the current situation in terms of what has
been done, and what we know. Sometimes it includes suggestions about what
needs to be done to increase the knowledge and understanding of a particular
problem.

It gives an overview of what has been said, who the key writers are, what
are the prevailing theories and hypotheses, what questions are being asked, and
what methods and methodologies are appropriate and useful. As such, it is not
in itself primary research, but rather it reports on other findings. Literature
reviews can give you an overview or act as a stepping stone. It also provide a
solid background for a research paper's investigation.

A LITERATURE REVIEW MUST DO THESE THINGS:


be organized around and related directly to the thesis or research question you
are developing
synthesize results into a summary of what is and is not known
identify areas of controversy in the literature
formulate questions that need further research

Structuring a literature review


It is often difficult to decide how to organize the huge amount of information
you have collected.
The structure of each dissertation will be different but there are some general
principles and these are really the guidelines you should use for any piece of
academic writing.
Structuring a literature review

Introduction to the literature review

Main part

Conclusions
A literature review is a piece of discursive prose, not a list describing or
summarizing one piece of literature after another.
It's usually a bad sign to see every paragraph beginning with the name of a
researcher. Instead, organize the literature review into sections that present
themes or identify trends, including relevant theory.

ABSTRACT OF LITERATURE REVIEW

The current study contributes to the literature by examining impact of working


capital management on the operating performance and growth of new public companies.
The study also sheds light on the relationship of working capital with debt level, firm risk,
and industry. Using a sample of a manufacturing, the study finds a significant positive
association between higher levels of accounts receivable and operating performance. The
study further finds that maintaining control (i.e. lower amounts) over levels of cash and
securities, inventory, fixed assets, and accounts payables appears to be associated with
higher operating performance, as well. We find that the firms which are experiencing
unusually high growth tend not to perform as well as those with low to moderate growth.
Further firms which are experiencing high growth tend to hold higher levels of cash and
securities, inventory, fixed assets, and accounts payables. These findings tend to suggest
that firms are willing to sacrifice performance (accept low or negative operating returns) to
increase their growth levels. The higher level of growth is also associated with higher
operating and financial risk. The findings of this study suggest that perhaps the firms should
stay more focused on their operating performance than on maintaining high growth levels.

INTERNSHIP REPORT ON STUDY ON WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

INTRODUCTION AND LITERATURE REVIEW


Working capital policy refers to the firm's policies regarding 1) target levels for
each category of current operating assets and liabilities, and 2) how current assets will be
financed. Generally good working capital policy (i.e. under conditions of certainty) is
considered to be one in which holdings of cash, securities, inventories, fixed assets, and
accounts payables are minimized.

The level of accounts receivables should be used as a means of stimulating sales


and other income. Previous literature on working capital management has found a negative
association, overall, between level of working capital and operating performance as
measured by operating returns and operating margins (Peterson and Rajan, 1997). Under
conditions of certainty (i.e. sales, costs, lead times, payment periods, and so on, are known),
firms have little reason to hold more working capital than a minimum level.
AN ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT RESULTS ACROSS INDUSTRIES :INTRODUCTION
The importance of efficient working capital management (WCM) is indisputable. Working
capital is the difference between resources in cash or readily convertible into cash (Current
Assets) and organizational commitments for which cash will soon be required (Current
Liabilities). The objective of working capital management is to maintain the optimum
balance of each of the working capital components.
Business viability relies on the ability to effectively manage receivables, inventory, and
payables. Firms are able to reduce financing costs and/or increase the funds available for
expansion by minimizing the amount of funds tied up in current assets. Much managerial
effort is expended in bringing non-optimal levels of current assets and liabilities back
toward optimal levels. An optimal level would be one in which a balance is achieved
between risk and efficiency.
A recent example of business attempting to maximize working capital management
is the recurrent attention being given to the application of Six Sigma methodology. When
used to identify and rectify discrepancies, inefficiencies and erroneous transactions in the
financial supply chain, Six Sigma reduces Days Sales Outstanding (DSO), accelerates the
payment cycle, improves customer satisfaction and reduces the necessary amount and cost
of working capital needs. There appear to be many success stories, including Jennifer
Townes (2002) report of a 15 percent decrease in days that sales are outstanding, resulting

INTERNSHIP REPORT ON STUDY ON WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

in an increased cash flow of approximately 2 million dollars at Thibodaux Regional


Medical Center. Furthermore, bad debts declined from 3.4 million dollar to o 600,000
dollar.
Even in a business using Six Sigma methodology, an optimal level of working
capital management needs to be identified. Industry factors may impact firm credit policy,
inventory management, and bill-paying activities. Some firms may be better suited to
minimize receivables and inventory, while others maximize payables. Another aspect of
optimal is the extent to which poor financial results can be tied to sub-optimal
performance. Fortunately, these issues are testable with data published by CFO magazine
(Mintz and Lazere 1997; Corman 1998; Mintz 1999; Myers 2000; Fink 2001), which claims
to be the source of tools and information for the financial executive, and are the subject
of this research.
The following section presents a brief literature review. Next, the research method is
described, including some information about the annual Working Capital Management
Survey published by CFO magazine. Findings are then presented and conclusions are
drawn.

The importance of working capital management is not new to the finance literature.
Over twenty years ago, Largay and Stickney (1980) reported that the then-recent
bankruptcy of W.T. Grant, a nationwide chain of department stores, should have been
anticipated because the corporation had been running a deficit cash flow from operations
for eight of the last ten years of its corporate life. As part of a study of the Fortune 500s
financial management practices. Following are the important views of scholars about
working capital management.

INTERNSHIP REPORT ON STUDY ON WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

A. GILBERT AND REICHERT (1995) :


Find that accounts receivable management models are used in 59 percent of these
firms to improve working capital projects, while inventory management models were used
in 60 percent of the companies. More recently, Farragher, Kleiman and Sahu (1999) find
that 55 percent of firms in the S&P Industrial index complete some form of a cash flow
assessment, but did not present insights regarding accounts receivable and inventory
management, or the variations of any current asset accounts or liability accounts across
industries. Thus, mixed evidence exists concerning the use of working capital management
techniques. Theoretical determination of optimal trade credit limits are the subject of many
articles over the years (e.g., Schwartz 1974; Scherr 1996), with scant attention paid to actual
accounts receivable management. Across a limited sample,
B. WEINRAUB AND VISSCHER (1998) :
Observe a tendency of firms with low levels of current ratios to also have low levels
of current liabilities. Simultaneously investigating accounts receivable and payable issues,
Hill, Sartoris, and Ferguson (1984) find differences in the way payment dates are defined.
Payees define the date of payment as the date payment is received, while payers view
payment as the postmark date. Additional WCM insight across firms, industries, and time
can add to this body of research. Maness and Zietlow (2002, 51, 496) presents two models
of value creation that incorporate effective short-term financial management activities.
However, these models are generic models and do not consider unique firm or industry
influences. Maness and Zietlow discuss industry influences in a short paragraph that
includes the observation that, An industry a company is located in may have more
influence on that companys fortunes than overall GNP (2002, 507).
C. ELJELLY, 2004 :
Elucidated that efficient liquidity management involves planning and controlling
current assets and current liabilities in such a manner that eliminates the risk of inability to
meet due short-term obligations and avoids excessive investment in these assets. The
relation between profitability and liquidity was examined, as measured by current ratio and
cash gap (cash conversion cycle) on a sample of joint stock companies in Saudi Arabia
using correlation and regression analysis.

The study found that the cash conversion cycle was of more importance as a measure of
liquidity than the current ratio that affects profitability. The size variable was found to have
significant effect on profitability at the industry level. The results were stable and had
important implications for liquidity management in various Saudi companies. First, it was

clear that there was a negative relationship between profitability and liquidity indicators
such as current ratio and cash gap in the Saudi sample examined. Second, the study also
revealed that there was great variation among industries with respect to the significant
measure of liquidity.
D. BERGAMI ROBERT (2007) :
Analysis that that international trade transactions carry inherently more risk than
domestic trade transactions, because of differences in culture, business processes, laws and
regulations. It is therefore important for traders to ensure that payment is received for goods
dispatched and that the goods received and paid for comply with the contract of sale. One
effective way of managing these risks has been for traders to rely on the letter of credit as
a payment method. However for exporters in particular, the letter of credit has presented
difficulties in meeting the compliance requirements necessary for the payment to be
triggered.
The current rules that govern letter of credit transactions(UCP 500) have been under
review for the past three years and an updated set of rules (UCP 600) is expected to be
introduced on 1July 2007. This paper focuses on the changes mooted for 2007and compares
these main issues with the existing rules and other associated guidelines and regulations
governing this method of payment. This paper considers the implication to changes of letter
of credit transactions and the sharing of risk. Firstly the paper provides some background
to letters of credit, then comments on existing literature and models, and subsequently an
analysis of the most important changes to the existing rules, before reaching a conclusion.
The conclusion is that the UCP 600 have not paid enough consideration to traders and
service providers and are likely to engender an environment of uncertainty for exporters in
particular.

LIMITATIONS TO THE STUDY


The study was conducted only for 12 weeks, which was not sufficient to collect the
complete information regarding the departments of the company
Limited interaction with the concerned heads due to their busy schedule.
The analysis is limited to just five years of data study (from year 2010 to year 2014)
for financial analysis.
Analysis of this project report was again a big problem because some of the current
year information was not fully available.

compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13 per cent during the period FY 20092013. The
Indian pharmaceuticals market grew at a CAGR of more than 15 percent in 2013. According
to the survey reports the Indian pharmaceutical market is poised to grow to US$ 55
billion by 2020 from the current levels.
Indias pharma industry accounts for about 1.4 per cent of the global pharma
industry in value terms and 10 per cent in volume terms. Among the fastest growing pharma
industries in the world, Indias pharmaceutical sector is expected to expand at a compound
annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.1 per cent during 20122020 and reach US$ 45 billion.
By 2020, the country is expected to be within the top three pharmaceutical markets by
incremental growth and sixth largest market globally in absolute size.
A new cluster of countries is contributing to the growth of the pharma industry,
resulting in a robust jump in exports of drugs. Both domestic and export-led demand
contributed towards the robust performance of the sector. On improved utilisation of
manufacturing facilities, the domestic pharmaceutical market is likely to see high revenue
growth and profit margins.

Currently, Indian drugs are exported to more than 200 countries in the world, with
the US as the key market. It is responsible for about 40 per cent of the generic and over-thecounter drugs consumed in the US. During the year 2013, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)
into the Indian pharmaceutical sector has more than doubled.
Substantial increase of expenditure by the Government of India and its states would
definitely create further demand to the pharmaceuticals. With 70 per cent of Indias
population residing in rural areas, pharma companies have immense opportunities to tap this
market. Demand for generic medicines in these regions has seen a sharp growth, and various
companies are investing in the distribution network in rural areas. The share of generic drugs
is expected to continue increasing. Oncology will be a key area of growth in Indias
healthcare sector. With increase in emphasis on health coverage both by central and state
governments, spending on coverage of medicines for oncology will see substantial rise
in next 3-5 years.

FUTURE GROWTH AND PROSPECTS


It is often said that the pharma sector has no cyclical factor attached to it.
Irrespective of whether the economy is in a downturn or in an upturn, the general belief is
that demand for drugs is likely to grow steadily over the long-term. Todays pharma
business indicates dynamic shift from the past decade owing to stringent IP driven needs
for the market.
As per 'Pharma Vision 2020', the Government of India aims to make India a global
leader in end-to-end drug manufacturing
Manufacturing costs in India are approximately 35-40 per cent of those in the US
due to low installation and manufacturing costs
The biologics market will grow to 3 billion USD by 2020. The projected human
resource requirement in the Indian pharma sector is estimated to be about 21,
50,000 by 2020
Industry Least affected by recession
Due to increasing population and income levels, demand for high-end drugs is
expected to reach US$ 8 billion by 2015
Expenditure on pharmaceuticals is likely to increase to over 40 per cent of the
total spending on healthcare by households by 2015 from 28 per cent in 2007
With 70 per cent of India's population residing in rural markets, various pharma
companies are investing in the distribution network in rural areas
Increased penetration of chemists, especially in the rural parts of the country
would make OTC drugs easily available.
Number of drugs going off-patent in the developed countries offers a big
opportunity for the Indian companies to capture this market. Since generic drugs
are commodities by nature, Indian producers have the competitive advantage, as
they are the lowest cost producers of drugs in the world.
Opening up of health insurance sector and the expected growth in per capita
income are key growth drivers from a long-term perspective. This leads to the
expansion of healthcare industry of which pharma industry is an integral part.
Being the lowest cost producer combined with FDA approved plants, Indian
companies can become a global outsourcing hub for pharmaceutical products.
Government of India is poised to increase its spending on health care which
would result more demand to pharmaceutical products.

INTERNSHIP REPORT ON STUDY ON WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

THEORETICAL BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY


WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
A study of working capital management is of major importance to internal and
external analysis because of its close relationship with the day to day operations of a
business. Working capital is that portion of the assets of a business which are used in or
related to current operations and represented at any one time by the operating cycle of such
items as against receivables, inventories of raw material, stores, work in process and
finished goods, merchandise, notes or bills receivables and cash.
In accounting working capital is the difference between inflow and outflow of
funds. In other words, it is the net cash inflow. It is defined as the excess of current assets
over current liabilities and provisions. Working capital is often referred to as circulating
capital. The use of the term circulating capital instead of working capital indicates that its
flow is circular in nature. At the beginning of a business venture, cash is provided by owners
and lenders. A part of this cash is invested in tools, machinery, furniture, equipment,
building and other forms of fixed assets, which are not to be sold during the normal course
of business. The remaining cash is used as working capital to meet the current requirements
of a business enterprise such as purchase of service, raw material or merchandise. When a
firms products or finished goods are sold, it has what is known as cash or receivables.
When receivables are collected, more cash is available for the purchase of raw material or
merchandise and service. This flow of cash into production and so on, illustrates the circular
flow of working capital. The term circulating capital is frequently used to denote those
assets which are changed with relative rapidly from one form to another.
Working capital funds are different from working funds in a business. Working
funds are the total resource of a business. Working funds are the total resource of a business
concern and include internal and external equities, which are sunk in current fixed assets.
Working capital funds however are sunk only in current assets of a concern.
Business firms are established by investment in the form of assets that can be
classified on the basis of liquidity. Firms finance the total investment in assets with debt
and owners equity, the supply of which is limited. The principles of financial management
form the basis of managing investments and related financing with current debt, long term
debt, capital contribution or related earnings. The investment in current assets is a working
capital and the related financial management approach is working capital management.

INTERNSHIP REPORT ON STUDY ON WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

Working capital management is defined here as a process of planning and


controlling he levels of investment and financing current assets as well as related operations
of purchasing and selling. It requires managers to decide on what levels of current assets
the firm will hold at any point in time and on how these current assets are to be financed.
Operations include activities related to purchase of material and the sales of finished
goods. Operating cycle determines a firms working capital investment and its financing
needs. The purchase and sales operations create cash inflow and outflows, which are both
unsynchronized and uncertain. They are unsynchronized because cash disbursements
usually take place before cash receipt.

Figure 1. The Working Capital Cycle


The cash conversion cycle:
The cash conversion cycle is used to measure working capital management and it measures
companies liquid situation and how effective the working capital is managed. The outcome
will show the number of days in average it will take for the capital that is tied up in working
capital to convert to cash in the cycle. A shorter conversion cycle with a low or even
negative number of days is preferable for profit as the need for external financing is
reduced.

Types of Working Capital
Permanent working capital
It means the minimum amount of investment in all current assets which is regarded at
all times to carry on minimum level of business activities. The operating cycle is a continuous
process and therefore, the need for current assets increases and decreases over time. There is
always a minimum level of current assets required at all time by the firm to carry on its business
operations. This minimum level of current assets is known as permanent working capital or
fixed working capital.
Temporary working capital
This is also called the fluctuation or variable working capital. The amount of temporary
working capital keeps on changing depending upon the changes in production and sales.
Gross working capital
It is the amount of funds invested in the various components of current assets.
Net working capital
It is the difference between current assets and current liabilities. The concept net
working capital enables a firm to determine the exact amount available at its disposal for
operational requirements.
Negative working capital
When current liabilities exceed current assets negative working capital emerges. Such
a situation occurs when a firm is nearing a crisis of some magnitude.

Managing the components of working capital


The components of working capital are:

Cash Management

Receivables Management

Inventory Management

A. CASH MANAGEMENT
Cash is the important current asset for the operation of the business. Cash is the
basic input needed to keep the business running on a continuous basis; it is also the ultimate
output expected to be realized by selling the service or product manufactured by the firm.
The firm should keep sufficient cash, neither more nor less.
Cash is the liquid form of an asset. It is the ready money available in the firm or
with the business, essential for its operations. A firm needs the cash for the following three
purposes:
a. The Transaction Motive:
The firm should keep cash to conduct its business in the ordinary course. The firm
needs cash primarily to make payment for purchases, sales, wages and salaries etc.
b. The Precautionary Motive:
The firm should keep cash to meet contingencies in future. It provides a cushion or
buffer to withstand some unexpected emergency.
c. The Speculative Motive:
To tap profits from opportunities arising from fluctuations in commodity prices,
security prices, interest rates etc. the company with surplus cash is in a better
position to exploit such situations.
B. RECEIVABLES MANAGEMENT
Receivable represents amounts owed to the firm as a result of sale of goods or
services on the ordinary course of business. These are claims of the firm against its
customers and form part of its current assets. These receivables are carried for the
customers. The period of credit and extent of receivables depends upon the credit policy
followed by the firm. The main purpose of maintaining or investing in receivables is to
meet competitors, to increase sales, and to maintain a cordial relationship with the clients.
Receivables management is the process of making decisions relating to investment
in trade debtors. However, at the same time, investment in this current asset involves cost
considerations also. Therefore there is always a risk of bad debts too.

C. INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
Background of the study of Inventory Management
Every enterprise needs inventory for smooth running of its activities. It serves as a
link between the production and the distribution processes. There is generally a time lag,
between the recognition of a need and its fulfillment. The greater the time lag, the higher
the requirements of inventory. It also provides a cushion for future price fluctuation.
The investment in inventories constitutes the most significant part of current
assets/working capital in most of the undertakings. Thus it is very essential to have a proper
control and management of inventories. The purpose of inventory is to ensure availability
of materials in sufficient quantity as and when required and also to minimize investment in
inventories.
Inventories represent the second largest asset category for manufacturing
companies. The proportion of inventories to total assets generally varies between 15 and
30%.Decisions relating to inventories are taken primarily by executives in production,
purchasing and marketing departments. Hence the importance of inventory management
cannot be overemphasized.
What are inventories?
Every one, be it a firm, 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.

Objectives of scientific inventory control system:

Service to the customers

Continuity of productive operations

Economy in purchasing

Reduction of risk of loss

Reduction of administrative workload

Administrative simplicity

A manufacturing firm generally carries following six major kinds of inventories:

Raw materials

Work-in-progress

Finished goods

Tools

Supplies

Machinery spares

INTERNSHIP REPORT ON STUDY ON WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

1. Raw materials:
Raw materials form a major input into the organization. They are required to carry
out production activities uninterruptedly. The quantity of raw materials required will be
determined by the rate of consumption and the time required for replenishing the supplies.
The factors like availability of raw materials and Government regulations etc., too affect
the stock of raw materials.
2. Work-in-progress:
The work-in-progress is the stage of stocks, which are in raw materials and finished
goods. The raw materials enter the process of manufacturing but they are yet to attain a
final shape of finished goods. The quantum of work-in-progress depends upon the time
taken in the manufacturing: the more will be the amount of work-in-progress.
3. Finished goods:
These are the goods which are ready for the consumers. The stock of finished goods
provides a buffer between production and market. The purpose of maintaining inventory is
to ensure proper supply of goods to customers. In some concerns the production is
undertaken on order basis, in these concerns there will be need for finished goods. The need
for finished goods inventory will be more when production is undertaken in general without
waiting for specific orders.
4. Consumables:
These are materials which are needed to smoothen the process of production These
materials do not directly enter production but they act as catalysts etc,. Consumables may
be classified according to their consumption and criticality, Generally, consumable stores
do not create any supply problem and form a small part of production. There can be
instances where these materials may account for much value than the raw materials. The
fuel oil may form a substantial part of cost.
5. Spares:
The consumption pattern of raw materials, consumables, finished goods are
different from that of spares. The stocking policy of spares is different from industry to
industry. Some industries like transport will require more spares than order concerns. The
costly spare parts like engines: maintenance parts, etc,. are not discarded after use but rather
they are kept in ready position for future use. All decisions about spares are based on
financial cost of inventory on such spares and the cost that may arise due to their nonavailability.

Why do we have inventories?

To gain economy in purchasing

To keep pace with changing market conditions

To satisfy demand during period of replenishment

To carry reserve stocks to avoid stock outs

To stabilize production

To prevent loss of sales

To satisfy other business constraints

Historical Perspective of Inventory Management:


The management and control of Inventory is a challenge to all organization in any
sector of the economy. The problem of Inventory does not confine them to profit making
big firms. The same type of problem is encounter by social and non-profit organization too.
Inventory problems have been encountered by every society, but it was not until the
th

20 century that the analytical techniques were developed to study them. The initial impetus
for analysis expectedly cones from manufacturing sector. It was until after World War II that a
concerted effort an risk and uncertainly aspects of inventory has made. In theory, inventory is
an area of organized operation that is well developed.
Material is a very important factor of production. It includes physical commodities used
to manufacture the final end product. It is the starting point from which the first operation starts.
It is inventories and does not get waste and exhaust (unless it is deteriorated) with the passage
of time as labor is wasted that it can be purchased on varying quantities according to the
requirements of firm where as often Clements of cost like labor and other services cannot be
easily varied once they are established. Materials account for nearly 60% of cost of production
as it is clear from an analysis of the financial statements of larger number of private and public
sector organization.
According to the Indian Association of material marketing 64 paisa in a rupee is spent
in materials by Indian Industries, 16 paisa on labor and the rest of one rupee on spent on
overheads, thus the importance of material control lies in the fact that any savings made in the
cost of materials will go a long way in reducing cost of the production and improving the
profitability of a concern.
Studies by experts in this field have highlighted the fact that if an organization can
affect 5% saving in material cost, it would be as good as the increasing the production or sales
by about 36%.
Proper control of materials is necessary from the time orders for purchase of materials
is placed with suppliers until they have been consumed. The object of material may be reduced
in other words, efforts are to be made to reduce the cost material when it is purchased, stored
and used.

Meaning and Definition:


Several authors have defined the term inventory. The more popular of them are, the
term inventory includes Raw-materials, work-in progress, finished products, spares and others
in order to meet an unexpected demand or distribution in the future.
It can be used to refer to the stock of raw materials unhand at particulars, goods in
process of manufacturing, finished products, merchandise, purchased for relate and others like
tangible assets measured and counted in connection with financial records and accounting
records, the reference may be the stock of goods owned by an enterprise at a particular time.
Yet another definition is that the term includes the following categories of times.
Production inventories, MRO inventories, in process inventories and finished goods
inventories.
Turnover/activity ratios of the company
Introduction:
The assessment of asset usage is important as it helps us to understand the overall level
of efficiency at which a business is performing. Turnover ratios are employed to evaluate the
efficiency with which the firm manages and utilizes its assets. These ratios are called as activity
ratios. It is called as turnover ratio because they indicate the speed with which assets are being
converted or turnover into sales. Thus it involves the relationship between sales and assets. A
proper balance between sales and assets reflects the assets are managed well. Higher the rate
of rotation the greater will be the profitability.
Our basic ratios for this section are Stock turnover, debtors turnover and creditors
turnover help us to assess the liquidity position as well as giving us detailed information about
stock control and credit control of the company.
Different turnover ratios:
i.

Inventory or stock turnover ratio

ii.

Debtors turnover ratio

iii.

Creditors turnover ratio

iv.

Current assets turnover ratio

v.

Working capital turnover ratio


These Activity Ratios are also called the Turnover ratios or Performance ratios. A

turnover ratio or an Activity ratio is a measure of movement and indicates as to how frequently
an account has moved/turned over during a period it shows as to how efficiently and effectively
the assets of the firm are being utilized. The activities ratios measure the effectiveness with
which the firm uses its resources. These ratios are usually calculated with reference to sales/cost
of goods sold and are expressed in terms of rates or times.

Liquidity ratios
Liquidity ratio may be defined as financial ratio which throws light on short term
solvency of the firm. It measures the ability of the firm to meet its current obligations i.e.
working capital requirements.
A firm should ensure that it doesnt suffer from lack of liquidity and also see that
it doesnt have excess liquidity. Failure of a company is to not meet its obligations due to
lack of sufficient liquidity will result in a poor credit worthiness and loss of creditors
confidence. Therefore it is necessary to maintain a proper balance between high liquidity
and lack of liquidity. So liquidity ratio measures the ability of a firm to meet its short terms
obligations and reflects short-term financial strength of the firm.
Credit analysts, those interpreting the financial ratios from the prospects of a lender,
focus on the downside risk since they gain none of the upside from an
improvement in operations. They pay great attention to liquidity and leverage ratios to
ascertain a companys financial risk.
Liquidity ratio needs establishing a relationship between cash and other current
assets to current obligations to provide quick measures of liquidity. These ratios are also
termed as working capital ratio or short-term solvency ratio. An enterprise must have
adequate working capital to run its day-to-day operations.
Inadequacy of working capital may bring the entire business operation to a grinding halt
because of inability of the enterprise to pay for wages, materials and other regular expenses.
The liquidity refers to the maintenance of cash, bank balance and those assets which
are easily convertible into cash in order to meet the liabilities as and when arising. the
liquidity ratios study the firms short term solvency and its ability to payoff the liabilities.
It should be intuitive to observe that a firm, no matter how profitable it is, cannot continue
to exist unless it is able to meet its obligations as they arise. The day-to-day problems of
financial management consist of highly important task of finding sufficient cash to meet
current obligations. The short term liquidity risk, arises primarily from the need to finance
current operations. To the extent that the firm has to make payments to its suppliers before
it is paid for the goods and services it provides, a cash short fall has to be met usually
through the short term borrowings. Although this financing of working capital needs is
routinely done in most firms, the liquidity ratios have been devised to keep a track on the
extent of the firms exposure to the risk that it will not be able to meet its short term
obligations. Liquidity ratios as a group are intended to provide information about a firms
liquidity and the primary concern is the firms ability to pay its current liabilities.
Consequently , these ratios focus on current assets and current liabilities.

The liquidity ratios provide a quick measure of liquidity of the firm by establishing a
relationship between its current assets and its current liabilities. If a firm does not have
sufficient liquidity it may not be in a position to meet its credit worthiness. The liquidity ratios
may be called the Balance sheet ratios because the information required for the calculation of
liquidity ratios is available in the balance sheet only. Some of the common liquidity ratios are
which give a picture of a companys short term financial situation or solvency.

DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETAION
1. Inventory turnover ratio
It signifies the liquidity of the inventory. A high inventory turnover indicates brisk
sales. The ratio is therefore a measure to discover the possible trouble in the form of
over stocking or over valuation.
Inventory turnover

Interpretation:
The lower the ratio indicates the more efficiency in converting inventory into
accounts receivables through sales. The ratios computed clearly demonstrated that there
is efficiency in inventory management. The ratio can be still increased by following
inventory control techniques like Just in time, buffer stocks etc. These techniques avoid
necessary idle cost of storage on inventory management system.

Interpretation:
If the average collection period extends beyond 60 days, debtors are holding cash that
should have flowed into the department. This means that the department is unable to satisfy
pressing liabilities or to invest that cash.
The inventory conversion period over the years have come down which indicates the
conversion of raw material into finished products is faster in the company. The analysis
shows us the days it was approx. 51 days in 2010 but later increased till 2013 to 68.58 and
again controlled significantly to 59.79 in 2014

of debts. The debtor ratio does not solve the collection problem, but it acts as an indicator
that an adverse trend is developing.

decreased to 8.74 in 2014

3. Current asset turnover ratio


This ratio indicates the efficiency with which current assets turn into sales. A lower
current asset to sales ratio implies by and large a more efficient use of funds. Thus, a
high turnover rate indicates reduced lock-up f unds in current assets.

4. Working capital turnover ratio


This ratio helps to measure the efficiency of the utilization of net working capital.
It signifies that for an amount of sales, a relative amount of working capital is needed.
If any increase in sales is contemplated, working capital should be adequate and thus,
this rati o helps management to maintain the adequate leve l of working capital.

2010 to 2.56 in the year 2011 and then there is a sudden gain to 4.35 in the year 2012,
this is because of good financial forecast in respect of probable revenue from sales and
the amount needed for working capital. And it has increased to 7.10 in 2014

Interpretation:
Average collection period measures the quality of debtors. As shorter
collection period implies prompt payment by debtors. It reduces the chances of bad
debts. A longer collection period implies too liberal and inefficient credit collection
performance. From the above statement we can make out that the company has
inefficient credit collection performance in the year 2013 was good but it become slight
liberal in 2014

It is difficult to provide a standard collection period of debtors because it depends


upon the nature of the industry, seasonable character of the business and credit policies
of the firm. In general, the amount of receivables should not exceed 3-4 months of credit
sale.

situations. But the ratios computed indicates lack of funds in current assets, because it
is lower in all the above 5 years compared to normal ratio of 2:1. In the year 2014 it has
fallen to a low of 1.51. There is a constant management of current ratio in the abovementioned 5 years, by which company has overcome the decline in the year 2014.

8. Quick Ratio:
Quick ratio, also called acid-test ratio, establishes a relationship between quick or
liquid assets and current liabilities. An asset is liquid if it can be converted into cash
immediately or reasonably soon without a loss of value. Cash is the most liquid asset. Other
assets that are considered to be relatively liquid and included in quick assets are debtors
and bill receivable and marketable securities (temporary quoted investments). Inventories
are considered to be less liquid. Because they require some time in realising into cash; their
value also has a tendency to fluctuate. Quick ratio can be calculated by dividing uqick assets
by current liabilities.

Generally, a quick ratio of 1 to 1 i s considered to represent a satis factory current


financial condition.

Interpretation:
The quick ratio is also called as the acid test ratio and is the one of the best measures of
liquidity. The quick ratio is much more conservative measure than the current ratio
The ideal standard of quick ratio should be 1:1 since the organisation has the higher ratio it
is doing extremely well and their ability is very fast to meet the current liabilities.

Summary of Findings, Conclusion and Suggestions /recommendations

Findings
Total Current asset is maximum in the year 2014 and minimum in the year 2010,
where in current liabilities there is also an increase in the year in 2014 and decrease
in the year 2010. The current asset and current liabilities have reached its maximum
point in the year 2014 in the case of changes in current assets and current liabilities.
Current liabilities constitute a major portion of the total liabilities, which shows that
the firm is dependent more on the short-term borrowings to finance its activities.
The net profit of the organization has seen a rapid growth from 460.13 million
rupees in 2010 to 808.57 million rupees crores in 2014
It is inferred that the cash and bank balance is decreasing from 2010 17.98 million
rupees to 8.05 million rupees in 2014 as the funds are utilized for growth
requirements.
But we see that huge surplus of cash and bank was there in 2011 up to 837.48
million rupees
It is inferred that the inventory is max at 2014 and min at 2011 because of better
techniques in inventory management.

The debtors turnover is increasing because of liberal trade credits allowed.

The working capital turnover ratio is inconsistent because of poor forecasts.

It can be inferred that the companys ability to meet short term liabilities is
improving.

It can be inferred that the liquid asset of the company is maximum during the year
2011 because of increase in fixed deposits and decreased in 2014

SUGGESTIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS


The company should introduce advanced technology in production so that the
cost of production goes down.
Even though the current asset level seems to be good by seeking current ratio
but the amount is lacked up in the current asset is more than the requirement. It
should be checked.
1. The liquidity position of the company is good. But very much liquidity lowers the
profitability. It should be checked.
2. Good incentive should be given for the workers who take minimum number of
holidays.
3. Loans and advances must be locked up if, it affect the profitability of the company.
4. Company should recruit skilled labors to maintain productivity.
5. It should provide training facilities to the workers in their work field.
6. Offers, discount, add should be given to the sales of the drugs.
7. Lot of fund is kept idle in the form of fixed deposits, which generates least revenues;
instead it should be invested in short-term interest bearing securities, which would
yield returns for the company.
8. As there are lots of opportunities available internationally, the company should
concentrate on expanding their business more in different countries.

If the following suggestions are adopted by Shilpa Medicare Limited, it would definitely
result in the better financial performance and help the company in the long run.

CONCLUSION
Shilpa Medicare Limited has carved a niche for itself in the exceedingly competitive and
quality-conscious sphere of pharmaceuticals manufacturing.
After analyzing the data and coming through the data and graphs of various years the
company has earned a good profit from the initial years itself. The working capital, cash,
liquidity position of the company is very good.
It is necessary to say that, the study, helped to gain a good exposure on organization and its
operational areas at Shilpa Medicare Limited.
