CONCEPT OF FINANCE
Financial management is t at managerial activity w ich is concerned with the planning controlling of the firms financial resources. It was a branch of economics till 1890 and as a separate discipline it is of recent origin. Still, it has no unique body of knowledge of its own, and draws heavenly on economics for its theoretical concepts even today. The subject of financial management is of immense interest to both academicians because the subject is still developing and there are still certain areas where controversies exist for which now unanimous solution have been reached as yet. Practicing mangers are interested in this subject because among the most crucial decisions of the firm are those which relate to finance, and an understanding of the theory to make decision skilfully.

Meaning of Financial Management

I.M Pandey defines financial management as that managerial activity which is concerned with the planning and controlling of firms financial resources. According to him managing funds most wisely with a view to maximise the wealth of shareholder is the main objective. According to wheeler business activities concerned with the acquisition and conservation of capital funds in meeting the financial needs and overall objectives of business enterprise come under financial management. S.C Kuchhal defined financial management as the procurement of the funds and their effective utilization in business

Scope of finance
Firms create manufacturing capacities for production of goods: some provide services to customers. They sell their goods or services to earn profit. They raise funds to acquire manufacturing and other facilities. A firm secures whatever capital is needs and employees it in activities, which generate returns on invested capital

1.2 INTRODUCTION TO INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

Inventory is a usable resource which is physical and tangible such as goods and material or those goods and material themselves, held available in stock by a business. In this sense our stock is our inventory. It is also used for a list of the contents of a household and industries etc., but even then the term inventory is more comprehensive. Though inventory is a usable resource, it is also an idle resource, unless it is managed efficiently and effectively. In accounting inventory is considered as an asset.

Inventory management is primarily about specifying the size and placement of stocked goods. Inventory management is required at different location within a facility or within multiple location of a supply network to protect the regular and planned course of production against the random disturbance of running out of materials or goods. The scope of inventory management also concern the fine lines between replenishment lead time, carrying costs of inventory, asset management, inventory forecasting, inventory valuation, inventory visibility, future inventory price forecasting, physical inventory, available physical space for inventory, quality management, replenishment, returns and defective goods and demand forecasting. The inventory management process begins as soon as one has started production and ordered raw material, semi finished products or any other thing from a supplier. If you are a retailer, then this process begins as soon you have placed your first order with the wholesaler. Once orders have been placed, there is generally a short period of time available to a firm to put an inventory management plan in place before the suppliers are delivered. Inventory management helps a firm to decide in advance where these supplies should be stored. Inventory constitutes the most significant part of current assets to 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 the firms, a considerable amount of funds is required to be committed to them. It is possible for a company to reduce its levels of inventories to a considerable degree e.g., 10-20%, without any adverse effect on production and sales, by using simple inventory planning control techniques. And at the same time company should not invest excess money in inventory by managing large size of inventories. The company may lose the opportunity cost on the excess inventory and also the carrying cost will increase due to large size of inventories. Therefore it is advisable for the company to maintain inventory at an optimum level always. There are different techniques available for the company to maintain optimum level of inventory. As the inventories form a major part in CIL, a study is being carried over on how the inventories are controlled and manage

1.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY:

The study titled INVENTOR MANAGEMENT- A case study of COROMANDEL INTERNATIONAL ltd.,has been carried out with the following objectives
y y y y y

To find whether the CIL ensures a continuous supply of material to facilitates uninterrupted production. To study the inventory management policies, techniques and their effectiveness. To give suggestion to increase inventory turnover. To give suggestion when inventory is replenished. To make an appropriate investment in inventories and kept it in an optimum level.

1.4 PURPOSE OF THE STUDY:

To study about the inventory management at COROMANDEL INTERNATIONAL LIMITED and to have an idea about the utilization of the inventory and little more about the storage procedure that are practically implemented in organisation. Inventory plays a vital role in every manufacturing organization to have an un interrupted production process by maintaining an optimum level of raw material available at all time.

1.5 SCOPE OF THE STUDY:

The scope of my study is confined to one of the key areas of finance i.e. inventory management. The study concentrates on the methods and techniques followed by COROMANDEL INTERNATIONAL LIMITED for its inventory management and its relative merits and demerits. The study appraises the companys success in meeting the requirements of the company and the country by helping the farmers to raise agriculture output to meet the requirement of the countrys growing population for food.

1.6 METHODOLOGY:
Both primarily and secondary data were used in conducting the project which is as follows:
y

PRIMAR DATA: This is done by personal discussion with various official in warehouse department and financial department of CIL.

2.1 Introduction to Fertilizer Industry:

Fertilizer is generally defined as any material, organic or inorganic, natural or synthetic, which supplies one or more of the chemical elements required for the plant growth

Since the essential physiological attribute of seeds is their ability to convert a great duel of nutrients into grain. The spread of this variety lead for greater consumption of fertilizers simultaneously with increasing demographic pressure on the agricultural productivity has assumed more importance. This also contributed to the rising demand for fertilizers.

Agriculture the backbone of Indian Economy still holds its relative importance for more than a billion peoples. The Government Of India from time to time has taken considerable steps for the upliftment of Agriculture Sector. Here we have analyzed the performance of Fertilizer Industry being one of the vital parts in agricultural production and Governments policy initiative for the same

Fertilizer in the agriculture process is an important area of concern. Fertilizer industry in India has succeeded in meeting the demand of all chemical fertilizer in the recent years. The Fertilizer Industry in India started its first manufacturing unit of Single Super Phosphate(SSP) in Ranipet near Chennai with a capacity of 600 MT a year. Then established the first two lagged sized fertilizer plant, one was the Fertilizer & Chemicals Travancore of India Ltd. (FACT) in Cochin, Kerala, and another one was Fertilizer Corporation of India (FCI) ion Sindri, Bihar. These two were established as pedestal fertilizer units to have self sufficiency in the production of food grains. Afterwards, the industry gained impetus in its growth due to green revolution in late sixties, followed by seventies and eighties when fertilizer industry witnessed an incredible boom in the fertilizer production.

Fertilizer consumption of plant nutrients per unit grossed cropped area in India is still very low average being 91.5 kg/ha. Productivity of food grain crops in the country is also quite low, around 1.6t/ha, which can certainly be doubled by enhancing per unit average fertilizer use. Fertilizer consumption has to increase substantially in order to achieve the food grain requirement of 220 million tons by the 2002.

2.2 Origin and Development of Fertilizers Industry in India:

The Indian fertilizer industry has succeeded in meeting almost fully the demand of all chemical fertilizer except for MOP. The industry had a very humble beginning in 1906, when the first manufacturing unit of Single Super Phosphate (SSP) was sat up in Ranipet near Chennai with an annual capacity of 6000 MT. The Fertilizer & Chemicals Travancore of India Ltd .(FACT) at Cochin in Kerala ant the fertilizer Corporation of India (FCI) in Sindri in Bihar were the first large sized fertilizer plants set up in the forties and fifties with a to establish an industrial base to achieve self-sufficiency in food grains. Subsequently, green revolution in the late sixties gave an impetus to the growth of fertilizer industry in India. The seventies and eighties then witnessed a significant addition to the fertilizer production capacity. The Indian fertilizer industry has witnessed a phenomenal growth in the eighties. However, the growth has tapered off in the nineties and in the recent past only public and cooperative sectors have made major investment in this industry. Presently public, private and coop. sector share 45, 33 and 22% of capacity, respectively, whereas their share in P2 O5 capacity is 26, 64 and 10% respectively. New proposal to government for setting up fresh in country are mainly are from Public and Cooperative sector. The installed capacity as on 30.01.2003 has reached a level of 12110 lakh MT of nitrogen (inclusive of an installed capacity of 208.42 lakh MT of urea after reassessment of capacity 53.60 ) lakh MT of phosphatic nutrient, making India the 3rd largest fertilizer producer in the world. The rapid build-up of fertilizer production capacity in the country had been achieved as a result of a favourable policy environment facilitating large investment in the public, co-operative and private sector.

Capacity Build up:

Presently, there are 57 large sized fertilizer plants in the country manufacturing a wide range of nitrogenous, phosphatic and complex fertilizer. Out of these, 29 unit produce urea, 20 units produce DAP and complex fertilizer 13 plants manufacture Ammonium Sulphate (AS), Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN) and other low analysis nitrogenous fertilizers. Besides, there are about 64 medium and small-scale units in operation producing SSP.

The sector experienced a faster growth rate and presently India is the third largest fertilizer producer.

Capacity utilization:
The domestic fertilizer industry has attained the level of capacity utilization, which compare favourably with others in the world. The capacity utilization during 2001-02 was 89.6% for Nitrogen and 75.7% for Phosphate. The capacity utilization is estimated at 89.8% for Nitrogen and 81.3% for Phosphate during 2002-03.

Report showed the total installed capacity of fertilizer production in 2004 to be 119.60 LMT of Nitrogen and 53.60 LMT of Phosphate. These figures went up to 120.61 LMT of Nitrogen and 56.59 LMT of Phosphate in 2007. The production of fertilizer was 113.54 LMT of Nitrogen and 42.21 LMT of Phosphate during 2005-06. The target of production for 2006-07 was set at 114.48 LMT of Nitrogen and 48.20 LMT of Phosphate. Though the target production was not met, there was a growth in production during 2006-07 as compared to the production during 2005-06.

Indian fertilizer industry has reached international levels of capacity utilization by adopting various strategies for increasing the production of fertilizer. These include the following:
y y y y

Expansion and increase in efficiency through modernisation and revamping of existing fertilizer units. Reviving some of the closed fertilizer plants. Using alternative source, such as coal or liquefied natural gas for the production of fertilizers, especially area. Establishing joint venture projects with companies in countries that abound in cheaper resources of raw materials. In order to meet the demand for gas, which is one of the prime requirements for the production of nitrogenous fertilizers, India has entered into joint ventures with foreign companies in a number of countries. Joint ventures have also been established for the supply of phosphoric acid. Indian fertilizer manufacturing companies has joined hands with companies in Senegal, Oman, Jordan, Morocco, Egypt, Tunisia and other countries. It is, therefore, evident that the Indian fertilizer industry has witnessed extensive growth and development in a short span of time. ith such extensive growth, it is not surprising that the India ranks among the leading fertilizer manufacturing countries of the world.

Strategy for Growth:

The fertilizer Industry has adopted the following strategy to increase fertilizer production:  Expansion/retrofitting/ revamping of existing fertilizer plants.  Setting up joint ventures projects in countries having abundant and cheaper raw material resources.  Working out the possibility of adopting alternative sources like liquefied Natural gas to overcome the constraints in the domestic availability of Natural gas

2.3 MAJOR SEGMENTS IN FERTILIZERS:

The Indian fertilizer industry is broadly into Nitrogenous, Phosphatic and Potassic segment. In addition to these, nutrients are combined to produce several complex fertilizers. To express the nutrient constituents of fertilizer, the grade of a fertilizer is expressed as a set of three numbers in the order of percent of Nitrogen (N), Phosphate (P), and Potash (K). The straight nitrogenous fertilizer produced in the country is urea, ammonium sulphate, calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN) and ammonium chloride. The only straight phosphate fertilizer being produced in sector report: fertilizer Industry India/Economics the country is SSP. The complex fertilizer include DAP, several grades of nitro phosphates and NPK complexes. Urea and DAP are the main fertilizer produced indigenously.

2.4 DEMAND AND SUPPLY:

The Demand-Supply scenario in fertilisers has been worked out by the Working Group on Fertilisers for the Ninth Plan (1997-98 to 2001-02) on the basis of the estimated demand and production projections in terms on N and P2O5 nutrients (Table-2). The increase in production (supply) will be 4.86 million tons, most of it is confined to nitrogen resulting from the commissioning of the expansions, new plants or joint ventures abroad. Production of N is expected to increase from 9.7 million tons in 1997-98 to 25.0 million tons in 2005-08. The Group estimated that the available phosphate supply will increase from 2.8 million tons of P2 O5 in 1997-98 and reach 7milliojn tons in 2007-08. The demand for N, P2O5, K2O has also been estimated up to 20062007 (terminal year of tenth plan) at 16.35, 6.65 and 2.60 million tonnes, respectively.

2.5 INCREASES IN FERTILISER PRODUCTION:

 1951-52: .04 million Mts  1975-75: 1.8 mm Mts  2005-06: 15.5mn Mts These periods also witnessed a rapid increase in food grain production, which was estimated to be initially 121 million tons from 52 tons and finally increased to 208 tons. At present the government has formulated a new pricing scheme (NPS) replacing the RPS. The fertiliser industry of India is not same in terms of stock, its yield, and technology. Because of this, the urea plants have been assorted into groups to reduce them from being divers and incomparable under the NPS scheme. The NPS has been modified, promoting further investment in the Indian fertiliser sectors. The Fertiliser Association of India (FAI) has been set up a model which is based on several factors that include fertiliser prices, high yielding areas, irrigated areas, fertiliser nutrient prices and previous years fertiliser consumption. An estimate of the demand and supply till the end of the 11th five plan is given in the chart below:

Year 2007-2008 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 2011-12

Today, India stands as the third largest fertiliser consumer and producer of the world. It has been observed that the subsidies on Indian fertiliser have been rising at constant rate. This is due to the rise in the cost of production and inability of the government to raise the maximum retail price of the fertilisers. The population of the country is rapidly increasing at 1.5% annually. This requires higher production of food grains. The total cropped area is only 30% of the net geographical area, which is not enough for increasing the agricultural productivity. Now, the main focus is on the improvement of the farm income, for which the fertiliser industry needs to lay more stress on the agricultural activities in the country. This will also help to improve terms between the government agencies and the fertilisers industry in India.

2.6 PRICING POLICY:

The fertiliser policy is aimed at increasing consumption to meet the food and fibre requirement of growing population through setting up required production capacities, ensuring that quality fertilisers are made available to farmers throughout the country at uniform and affordable price. It was also recognised that fertiliser use should be profitable to the farmers for which he must get a certain minimum return for the produce. This led to the announcement of procurement prices and minimum support prices for several crops from 1970 onwards. The Maratha Committee was assigned the task of task of resolving the issue of keeping Farm Gate Prices (FGP) of fertilisers at an affordable level in the face of rising production/import costs. Its recommendations in 1977 led to the birth of the Retention Price Scheme (RPS). This scheme was intended to ensure that both fertiliser producers as well as the farmers should find it worthwhile to produce and use fertilisers. The policy aimed that each manufacturer is able to get12% post-tax return on investment on efficient operation regardless of the location, age, technology and cost of production. In addition, the government agreed to reimburse the cost of transportation from factory gate to railhead and also take care of the distribution margin. The RETENTION PRICE SCHEME is now restricted to urea only.

2.7 FERTILISER SUBSIDY:

The RPS system helped in achieving the objective of increased availability and supplying it to farmers on affordable and uniform price. The difference between FARM GATE PRICES and RPS is paid to the industry as subsidy. With the growth in fertiliser

Production along with escalation in price of raw material and plant cost, the subsidy amount swelled to huge proportions over the years. In an attempt to reduce the burden of subsidy, the government has increased urea price by 10% w.e.f February 2005. As a result, domestic urea prices have risen from Rs 3320/t (US$ /t) to Rs 3660/t (US$ 91/t) for bagged deliveries to farmers. The average subsidy pattern of urea is around US$84/t. prior to decontrol of phosphatic and potassic fertilizer (in the year 1992) subsidy was available to all domestic and imported fertilizers. The fertilizer subsidy increased from US$ 418 million in 1999-00 to US$ 2446 million in 2042005. However, the subsidy bill after the de3dcontrol of phosphatic and potassic fertilizer declined and remained below 1990-91 level.

The union budget for 2000-01 raised urea raised by 15 percent, DAP by 7 percent and that of MOP by 15 %. This move enabled the Government of India to prune the subsidy bill to some extent. However, there was no increase in urea price in the union budget for 2001-02.

In the long term policy, the subsidy withdrawal in a phased manner has been proposed. However, modalities to phase out the subsidy have not been clearly mentioned.

The group stated in early 20th century at Tiruvottriyur, Chennai in association with present-day (Carborundum Universal Ltd.), with the name Ajax India Ltd., as a hardware manufacturer

3.2 HISTORY :

The business has its origin in 1990, when Dewan Bahadur A M Murugappa Chettiar established a money-lending and banking business in Burma (now Myanmar), which then spread to Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Vietnam. In these 100-plus years, it has withstood enormous vicissitudes, including strategically moving its asset back to India and restarting from scratch in the 30s, before the Japanese invasion of Burma in World War II. Starting with a sandpaper plant, the Group forayed into making steel safes, and then into manufacturing. It set up an insurance company, and bought a rubber plantation; making a small but significant beginning. The rest is history. The company crossed the USD 1 billion mark in 2003-04, with an impressive growth of 25% over Rs4206 crore in 2002-03, and a 40% jump in profit before tax over the previous year. Today, it is one of the countrys biggest industrial houses. Consolidated Group turnover for 200405 crossed USD 1.44 billion, a growth of 20% over the previous year. In 2005-06, combined turnover increased by 17% to USD 1630 million (Rs 7340 crore) and net profit (PBT) by 45% to USD 177 million (Rs 800 crore). The Group ended the year 2006-07 with a turnover of Rs 8,446 crore, and profit before tax of Rs 649 crore. The year 2007-08 saw a turnover of USD 2.4 billion (Rs9 852 crore) and has the group well on its way to achieving its vision of becoming a USD 4 billion conglomerate by2010.

4.1 INTRODUCTION:
In todays competitive market scenario, all organization are focusing their efforts on inventory reduction and lean management practices. It is always essential to control stocks at various location in organisation at optimum level, proper inventory control is possible only with the support of efficient stores management i.e, at various places such as respect of raw material, finished components, work-in-progress, finished goods and spare parts. The objective of inventory control can be met by analysing the process, Inventory carrying cost, procuring cost, set up cost, stock out cost, EOQ etc. For this various tools like ABC analysis, XYZ analysis, VED analysis, FSN analysis etc. are being used. Lead time management and vendor managed inventory (VMI) also facilitates to reduce the inventory to optimum level. In any industry there are four Ms that play a very important role in the smooth functioning of the organisation and relation and objectives, they are Man, Machinery, Money and Material. The management of material plays an important role as 60% of the capital cost is attributed to materials alone. Inventories represent aggregate of those items, which are either held for the sale in the ordinary course of the business, or are in the process of production for sale or yet to be utilized consumed in the production of goods and services. Inventory can be classified into seven categories. They are given below
y y y y y y y

Raw materials Finished parts Work-in-progress Finished goods Tools Machinery suppliers

The principal items of inventory are as follows:

y y

RAW MATERIALS Raw materials is a fabricated materials, which have undergone no Conversion what so ever since their receipts from the suppliers. FINISHED PARTS Finished parts are those which may either be brought out parts or piece parts brought out parts are those finished parts sub-assemblies or assemblies, which are purchased from outside supplies. Piece part, are those parts, which are manufactured at the companys own plant from the basic raw material.

u e

WORK-IN-PROGRERSS- It comprises of the items in partially completed condition of manufacture. FINISHED GOODS these are the final products ready to be shipped. TOOLS- These comprise of standards tools and hand tools, standard tools used machines such as saws, drills, reamers, etc. and hand tools are drill guns, hammers, mallet, etc. SUPPLIERS- include materials used in running the plant or in making companys products but do not they go into the product. MACHINERY SPARES- Are which used to maintain without any problems so that there wont be unnecessary breakdowns, these spares include consumable spares, replacement spares, rotable spares, insurance spares.

y y

4.2 ABC ANALYSIS: All the spares and stores other than the construction meant for specific
construction activities are subjected to consumption analysis covering specific periods. Items constituting 70% of the total annual consumption by value are classified as A items. Items constituting the next 20% of the annual consumption value are classified as B class items. The remaining moving items constituting 10% of the annual consumption value are classified C class item Very large s. number of items by numbers falls under this classification whose consumption valued will be very low.
y
Class of item A B C

ABC analysis helps in classification in A, B&C class.

4.3 EOQ (ECONOMIC ORDER QUANTITY) : one of the basic decision that must be made in
any stock control system is that of determining the quantity to order since investment in inventories largely depends upon he quantities in which the items are ordered for replenishment. Ordering large lots infrequently, reduces administrative work but increases investment in stocks ordering small lots frequently keeps the investment in low but increases administrative work. This is because small lots require high order frequency, more purchase requisition require to be raised, more frequently the comparative statement must be raised, more he material must be received, more posting must be done moir bills must be handled. All these activities will call for more staff and hence more administrative cost and overheads. Therefore a rational approach is needed for fixing the order quantity of an item which will either increase neither the procurement cost nor the storage cost. So such quantity which result in equal procurement cost & storage cost is known as EOQ (Economic Order Quantity)

Ma pur c

u e

36 | P a g e

The mathematical explanation of EOQ is as follows

EOQ is given by Q= (2*D*O.C) / C.C Where: D= annual consumption cost

O.C= cost of placing one order including the cost of receiving he goods i.e Cost of getting an item into the firms inventory Q= quantity per order in time C.C= annual carrying cost per unit The annual carrying costs are equal to the average value of stock held multiplied by carrying cost per unit and represent as EOQ (C.C)/2. Where

C.C= annual cost per unit.

4.6 REORDER- POINT: An important question in any inventory management system is which
should an order for the purchases of an item should be placed, so the RE-ORDER point system provides he answer o his question. RE-ORDER point is the level of inventory at which the storekeeper should initiate the purchases requisition for the purchases of inventory in the amount of the economic order quantity. In designing a RE-ORDER point sub- system three items of information are needs as inputs to the sub-system. 1. Lead time, i.e time lag between indenting and receiving of the inventory is usually expressed in number of days. 2. Usage rate, i.e, the quantity per day at which the items consumed in production process or sold to customer. 3. Minimum Stock level, i.e, the quantity below which stock should not be allowed to fall. This can be calculated by multiplying the usage rate by the number of day the firm wants to hold as a protection against shortages. The following formula can be used for the calculation of the reorder point RE-ORDER POINT=UR*LT
= UR *DAYS OF SAFETY Where, UR= Usage rate per day LT= Lead time in Days DAYS OF SAFETY= Days of safety stock desired by the firm.

37 | P a g e

Lead Time: There is a definite time lag between identification of the need for an item till it is received in store ready for issue after placing of order, manufacturing, transport, receiving and inspection. The total time elapses between the recognition of the need for an item and the fulfilment of the need is called lead time of the item and it plays an important role in establishing the right time for procurement. The right time for the procurement of an item is the time the stock on hand is just enough to satisfy the demand for the period required for the procurement since there may be increase in the demand between the time the order is placed and received in store, safety stock may be added to the average requirements of the lead time. This implies that the right time for procurement of an item is the time when stock drops down to a level which is enough to take care of demand during the period necessary to replenish stock and extension of lead time.  IMPORTANCE OF LEAD TIME- Lead time has a direct relationship with investment in investors. The longer the lead time, higher is the requirement of the working capital. Since during the lead time, there is no delivery of material, the requirement of the production is met from the inventories in stock. Also since both lead time and consumption rate increase without notice, over and above the stock to take care of normal consumption during average lead time, safety stock is required to be maintained. This implies that a major factor which influences investment in inventories is that lead time and it is therefore responsibility of the purchase department to take steps to reduce the lead time.
 ELEMENTS LEAD TIME:

y y y y y y y

Time required by the indenting department to convey requirements to purchase. Time required by the buyer to call quotation, make enquires/visit potential vendors negotiate terms, enter in to contract. Time required by the supplier to route buyers order through his administrative channel and fill the same. Transit time for goods to reach buyer works. Time required by the buyers receiving department to uncrate goods, prepare necessary documents and offer material for inspection. Time require by buyers inward to verify qualify of goods. Time required by the stores deportment to take goods in to stock, deposit into appropriate bins and update stock records.

 MAJOR PARTS OF LEAD TIME:

Lead time of an item can be divided into two parts

y y

Internal lead time External lead time

Ma pur c

ue

ma ageme

u e

38 | P a g e

INTERNAL LEAD TIME: It is also called as buyer lead time, is the sum of servicing time and receiving time. The servicing time includes time required by the buyers to call quotations, compare quotations, visit vendors negotiate terms, obtain sanctions, enter in to contract etc. and receiving time is made up of time required to uncreated and inspects goods, move them between stores, deposit them in appropriate bins and make entries into stock cards.

EXTERNAL LEAD TIME:

It is also called as suppliers lead time, is made of administrative, manufacturing and delivery times required by the supplier. External lead time therefore is the time required to get the items from selected suppliers.

4.5 XYZ ANALYSIS:

Inventory holding of each project will also be analyzed with reference to value of the holding against each item. It is found that about 70% of the total holding would be covered by very small percentage of items by number, which will be around 10%. This category will be classified as X class items. Similarly items accounting for the remaining 20% contributing will be categorized as Y class items and the remaining items will be listed in Z class. This analysis is usually done for the annual stock review.
y y y

In ABC analysis consumption value of items for a particular time span is considered. In XYZ analysis inventory value of item on a particular day will be considered. All steps in ABC analysis are followed in XYZ analysis.

4.6 VED ANALYSIS: Vital, Essential and Desirable.

 VITAL:

It is not ready to available in market.

 ESSENTIAL:

 Essential  Desirable

4.7 NON- MOVING ITEM ANALYSIS: All items held in stock will be subjected to non-movement analysis segregating the items for different non-movement periods like over 2yeary, over 5 years and 10 years so as to critically analyse the possibility of utilization of these times or otherwise for declaring surplus especially those items which have not moved for more than 5 years. Materials management department with the concerned technical departments will jointly do this analysis and separate list will be prepared, i.e code group wise, for the non-moving items beyond 5 years on an annual basis project wise under different code groups and steps would be taken so that the non-moving items are not indented again, until the existing stocks are utilized. Every effort will be made to keep as low practicable because this is non-productive inventory. Which is blocking the capital, storage space needing preservation and up keeping efforts and results, in extra inventory carrying cost. The company reduces the non-moving inventory by regular review for utilization or by declaring as surplus.  CODIFICTION: Any organization engaged in production repair of construction is obliged to stock a large number of items of stores. It is essential to maintain accurate stock records of these items and also to know their location in store warehouses. The normal way of identifying an article is by simple description but this method is far from satisfactory. The best way is to list out the various items classifying or grouping them in some convenient manner and allotting each item a code number which if quoted is sufficient to indentify the items. Each code number is unique and represents one single item. By this maintenance of stocks will be carrier records with the help of data processing machines are able to give any output using these codes. These are three types of coding system are i.e Alphabetical, alphanumeric and numerical.  STANDARDIZATION AND VARIETY REDUCTION: It is the process of establishing agreements up on acceptable levels of various characteristics of a product e.g. Quality, design, dimensions, physical characteristics, chemical composition, performance etc. on the basis of study and experience gained by established agreement or uniform identification is termed a standard / specification. Standardization is applied usually in two distinct areas in industry.
y y

Standardisation of products Standardisation of business products.

 AUTOMATIC REPLENISHMENT SYSTEMS: For few items in the stock that frequently moving and are usually of low value and required by more than one department are subjected to ARS, ARA is completely controlled by materials control department, they actually fix a minimum,

maximum and recorder level. So as soon as these items reaches reorder level material control department will monitor it and indent is prepared immediately for procurement of these items.

 STORES MANAGEMENT: Stores are used for receiving, storage and supply of the goods. It plays a major role in inventory management. Stores are the centre of activities of material in motion, an system must aim at good systems and procedures efficient O & M and smooth and speedy receipts and issues. The main objective of stores will be to provide efficient service to all operating functions such as production, construction, repair and maintenance. These are usually two sections in stores y Receipt / issue section y Custody section Custody section usually takes care of storage and preservation of the incoming goods where as issues / receipt section confirms of right input according to the order and issues the same according to the requirements.
STORES PRESERVATION: Proper material storage it very important and it is carried out

very effectively by the concerned department. For carrying out an effective preservation programs, factors such as economic aspects, period of idleness of a part, condition of the part, nature of the exposed surface as well as applicability of specific protective to be applied is considered and make sure that they do no exceed the cost of the part to be preserved. Some of the procedures followed are as follows:
y y y

All ferrous spares are given a protective cost of paint / varnish and stored. Precision spares like instruments, electronic and electrical spares, ball and roller bearing are covered in polythene bags, enclosing moisture absorbent chemicals like silica gel etc. Precision spares are maintained in dust free air conditioned rooms without sunlight and moisture.

INTERACTION:During the year 2005-06, 15% of the items have been classified as A category items because it have the 67% (nearly 70%) of the total consumption of units soit requires very strict control and no chance to maintain safety stock for these category items. And maintain the weekly control statements. Under B category there are 15% of items. Which requires only medium control because its value of consumption is less than the A category items that is 22% and there is a chance to maintain the low safety stock and prepare monthly control reports. The remaining items are under C category which requires less control because its value of consumption is 11%, So there is high safety stock. And prepare control reports for quarterly.

INTERPRETATION: During the year 2006-07, 15% of items have been classified as A category items these items requires strict control; and there is no chance to maintain safety stock because this category items have maximum consumption value. And compared to the previous year ther e is no change in weight of A class items but the change in between the items based on their annual usage. Under B category there are 29% of the items. Which requires a minimum control and there is a chance to maintain the low safety stock and compared to previous year the weight age of B class items increased 5%. Remaining items are under C category almost more than half of inventory is maintained under this category but compared to last year class items weight age reduces to 5% and in this category items requires limited control because it has the low consumption value than A & B category items.

INTERACTION: During the year 2007-08, 35% items are under the A category because its value of consumption is 74 so strict control is maintain on these items. Compared to previous year there is 10% increase of weight age of items so the duty of monitoring of A class items has been increased. Under B category 20% of items are there. In this there is no change in the weight age of items compared to last year. Under C category 55% of items are there so half of the inventory under C class because is a high safety stock and a minimum control is suited these items. So that prepared stock records on quantity duration.

5.4 FIRST IN FIRST OUT:

Some items get expired beyond a particular time limit. Those items are to be used before they get expired, so such items are controlled using FIFO for effective utilization. Company utilizes this technique for almost all the spares available in the stock.

5.5 STANDARDISATION AND VARIETY REDUCTION:

Company follows this procedure in the following three areas:  GENERAL STORES General stores under different sub groups like fastener, paints, electrodes, lamps, pipe fitting, wire ropes etc. are subject to critical scrutiny for standardising the size, reducing the varieties, specification, shades, size etc. This will help in reducing the number of items required to be held under these sub groups and ensuring better availability at lesser investment.  STANDARDISATION OF SPARES: Spares are generally held under part numbers of different equipment, but on a detailed analysis of items like oil, seals bearing, borings houses, washers belts etc could be listed under different sizes and numbers and the same are provisioned according to the sizes rather than the part number. This will help in reducing the number of items to be held, cost of the materials and improve availability of

6.1 FINDINGS :
y

Company is right now using only for inventory managements technique suggest ABC analysis, XYZ analysis FIFO, non moving items. The company is using ABC analysis for the past 5 years. EOQ method is followed by the company only on few inventories. All the inventories are not included in ABC and XYZ analysis. Large size of inventories is maintained by the company under XYZ and ABC analysis in order to reduce the ordering cost. The carrying cost incurred by the company for maintaining the given level of inventory is increasing every year. The equipments and spares in general store are also to maintained as an inventory wish requires huge investments.

6.2 SUGGESTIONS:
y

Company should maintain an optimum level of inventory to ensure efficient and smooth production. The company is investing huge amount on A class and X category items on which the company would loosed opportunity cost. Therefore company shall reduce size of inventory on these categories. The categories under ABC have to be continuously monitored and review. The company can maintain only minimum investment in order to maintain efficiently. E.O.Q method of inventory managements can be extended to other items of inventory. Company should make an effort to reduce carrying cost by maintaining expensive inventories less in number. LIFO method can also be used effectively in case if the item is quickly perceivable & also in case of heavy investment inventories. The other techniques like V.E.D analysis, P.V.A analysis etc. can also be used applied by the company to manage the inventories. The firm should estimate the cost, return and risk factor also in establishing its inventory policies. Instead of maintaining huge size of inventory, the company can maintain safety stock in all the items. The re-order point has to be calculated by the company in order to avoid excess inventory and to reduce lead time
