ABSTRACT LIST OF TABLE
Successful inventory management involves creating a purchasing plan that will ensure
that items are available when they are needed (but that neither too much nor too little is
purchased) and keeping track of existing inventory and its use.
The main objectives of study are to study the inventory management process in the
company. The other objectives are to learn how the company keeps all the data of
inventory perfectly, to find out the composition of inventory, to study the various
inventory ratio and to analyze the inventory management techniques used in the
company.
Inventory management being a very important concept in all the company’s having a
void coverage often calls for the managerial attention. In the modern times inventory
management has become the integral part of the all companies. So all the firm gives
special importance for inventory management. The major objective of the study is to
examine the effectiveness of inventory management system adopted by Alloysys
Extrusion; the study mainly focuses on the techniques used by the company to control
the inventory. The study also covers other areas like the financial ratios for the period of
2014 to 2018.
CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
The term ‘inventory’ originates from the French word ‘Inventaire’ and Latin word
‘Inventariom”, which implies a list of things found.
“The term inventory includes materials like – raw, in process, finished packaging,
spares and others; stocked in order to meet an unexpected demand or distribution in
the future.”
a. Production Inventories:
Raw materials, parts and components which enter the firm’s product in the
production process. These may consist of two types – special items manufactured to
company specifications and standard industrial items purchased ‘off the shell’.
b. In-process Inventories:
Inventory management and control refers to the anning for optimum quantities of
materials at all stages in The production cycle and evolving techniques which would
Ensure the availability of planned inventories. Following our steps are involved in the
process:
It is a significant step but a difficult one. Too much inventory results in locking up
of working capital accompanied by increased carrying costs (but reduced ordering
costs). Excess inventories, however, guarantee uninterrupted supply of materials and
components, to meet production schedules and finished goods to meet customers
demand. Too less of inventory releases working capital for alternative uses and reduces
carrying costs and increases ordering costs. But there is the risk of stock out costs.
b. Determination of the degree of control that is required for the best results:
The second aspect of inventory management is to decide just how much control
is needed to realize the objectives of inventory management. The difficulty is best
overcome by categorization of inventory on the basis of value. Popularly called the ABC
categorization, this approach is useful in deciding the degree of control. ‘A’ class items
are ‘high’ in value but ‘low’ in quantity, ‘C’ class inventories are the opposite of ‘A’ group
i.e. ‘high’ in quantity and ‘low’ in value. In between are the ‘B’ group stocks which are
more or less equal in quantity and value proportion to the total inventory. Tight control is
exercised on ‘A’ category items through accurate records of receipts and issues and by
co-ordination of incoming shipments with production managements.
ABC Analysis:
ABC CODES:
"A class" inventory will typically contain items that account for 80% of total
value, or 20% of total items.
"B class" inventory will have around 15% of total value, or 30% of total items.
"C class" inventory will account for the remaining 5%, or 50% of total items.
ABC Analysis is similar to the Pareto principle in that the "A class" group will
typically account for a large proportion of the overall value but a small percentage of
the overall volume of inventory.
Advantages of ABC Analysis:
1. Helps to exercise selective control over such items, which are having a sizable
investment.
2. Helps to point out obsolete stocks easily.
3. Provides sound basis for allocation of funds and human resources.
4. It enables the maintenance of high inventory turnover rate.
Disadvantages of ABC Analysis:
1. Considers only money value of items and neglects the importance of items for the
production process or assembly or functioning.
2. It done not categorize the items based on their critical needs hence sometimes the
purpose of ABC categorization may be defected.
USAGE OF ABC ANALYSIS:
1. In day to day warehouse operations, materials are some time under issued, over
issued, issued and not accounted into the system, misplaced, stolen etc. This results
into inaccuracy in the inventory. Cycle counting is the process to count and reconcile
the materials. Ideally, every material in the warehouse should be counted during a fixed
interval (every year) for maintaining 100% accuracy, but counting & reconciling every
material is not cost effective and very expensive. To count the accuracy of the inventory
in a cost effective manner, it is recommended to count the materials based on inventory
classification. If A class materials are counted within a fixed interval (could be six
months or a year) then the firm needs to count only 5% to 10% of the total materials and
it will cover 60% to 80% of the inventory value. It means that firm only counts 5 % to
10% of the materials and remove the inaccuracy from the inventory value from
60%to80%.Similarly B class materials can also be counted on a less frequency ( from
once in 18 months to 24 Months) as the number of materials become higher and C
class materials at even lesser frequency (once in 27 months to 36 months) as number
of material becomes more (60% to 85% of the total materials).
2. An inventory controller shall be concentrating more on the A class items for reducing
the inventory as he/she shall be concentrating only 5% to 10% of the total items and
shall be getting the opportunity to reduce inventory on 60% to 80% of the value.
3. Any reduction in lead time of A class items shall result in reduction in inventory, so
procurement manager will work out with suppliers to reduce the lead time.
The High, medium and Low (HML) classification follows the same procedure as
is adopted in ABC classification. Only difference is that in HML, the classification unit
value is the criterion and not the annual consumption value. The items of inventory
should be listed in the descending order of unit value and it is up to the management to
fix limits for three categories.
The HML analysis is useful for keeping control over consumption at departmental
levels, for deciding the frequency of physical verification, and for controlling purchases.
Cycle counting can also be planned based on HML analysis. H class items shall
be counted very frequently, M class shall be counted at lesser frequency and L class
shall be counted at least frequency as compared to H & M class.
Economic order quantity (EOQ) is the order quantity that minimizes the
total holding costs and ordering costs. It is one of the oldest classical production
scheduling models. The model was developed by Ford W. Harris in 1913, but R. H.
Wilson, a consultant who applied it extensively, and K. Andler are given credit for
their in-depth analysis.
FORMULA
EOQ= √𝟐 × 𝐃 × 𝐁 ÷ 𝐢 × 𝐜
THE INPUTS
While the calculation itself is fairly simple the task of determining the correct data
inputs to accurately represent your inventory and operation is a bit of a project.
Exaggerated order costs and carrying costs are common mistakes made in EOQ
calculations. Using all costs associated with your purchasing and receiving departments
to calculate order cost or using all costs associated with storage and material handling
to calculate carrying cost will give firm highly inflated costs resulting in inaccurate results
from its EOQ calculation. Often these references trace back to studies performed by
advocacy agencies working for business that directly benefit from these exaggerated
(my opinion) costs used in ROI calculations for their products or services.
ANNUAL USAGE
Expressed in units, this is generally the easiest part of the equation. Firm can
simply use its forecasted annual usage data for computational purposes.
(a)Material Cost:
(c)Carrying Cost::
This includes the expenses for storing and handling the goods. It comprises
storage costs, insurance costs, spoilage costs, cost of funds tied up in inventories etc.
TYPES OF INVENTORY
1. Movement Inventories
2. Buffer inventories
3. Anticipation Inventories
Anticipation inventories are held for the reason that future demand for the
product is anticipated. Production of specialized times like crackers well before dewily,
umbrellas and raincoats before taints set in, fans while summers are
approaching; or the piling up of inventory stocks when a strike is on the anvil,
are all examples of anticipation inventories.
The importance or necessity control is well explained in the terms of the objects
of inventory control, which are obtained through it. A proper inventory control lowers
down the cost of production and improves profitability of enterprise.
Companies constituting the majority of the country's production. With the growing
Aluminium Industry in India is a highly concentrated industry with the top 5 demand of
aluminium in India, the Indian aluminium industry is also growing at an enviable pace. In
The production of aluminium started in India in 1938 when the Aluminum Corporation of
India's plant was commissioned. The plant which was set up with a financial and
technical collaboration with Alcan, Canada had a capacity of producing 2,500 ton per
annum. Hindustan Aluminum Corporation (Hindalco) was set up in UP in the year 1959;
it had a capacity of producing 20,000 ton per annum. In 1965, a public sector enterprise
Malco which had a capacity of 10,000 ton per annum was commissioned; by 1987,
Ithadacapacityofproducing0.218millionton.
During the 1970s, the government started regulating and controlling the Indian
aluminium industry. Restrictions in entry and price distribution controls were quite
common in the Indian aluminium sector. Aluminium Control Order was implemented
where the aluminium producers had to sell 50% of their products for electrical usages.
However, in 1989, the order was removed as the government decontrolling was
revoked. With de-licensing of industry in 1991, the liberal import of technologies and
capital goods was started. The liberalization resulted in a growth rate of 12% of the
production in the world. India is also a huge reservoir of bauxite with a bauxite reserve
of three billion the production India lies at the eighth position in the list of leading
primary aluminium producers in the world. India saw a significant growth in aluminium
production in the past five years. In 2006-07, the production target of aluminium in India
laid by the Ministry of Mines, Government of India was 1,153 KT, which was augmented
to 1,237 KT in the next year (2007-08). Due to the growing demand from the
aluminium also hiked up. In FY 09, the total aluminium production in india was around
1.35tonnes.Theconsumption
After a stagnant consumption of primary aluminium in India from the end of 1990s to
2002 (when the consumptions were between 500 – 600 KT), it started rising sharply
transportation etc. the major players power, The Indian aluminium industry is
dominated by four or five companies that constitute the majority of India's aluminium
production. Following are the major players in the Indian aluminium industry:
MALCO
INDAL
HINDALCO:
Hindalco is the biggest player in the aluminium industry in India with around 39%
of market share. An Aditya Birla Group flagship company, Hindalco has its aluminium
plant at Renukoot in Uttar Pradesh. It has various aluminium products with a market
share of 42% in primary aluminium, 20% in extrusions 63% in rolled products, 31% in
wheels
Sterlite Industries:
aluminium giants – BALCO and MALCO. While BALCO is a partially integrated, MALCO
is a fully integrated producer of aluminium. Sterlite has got a market share of around
32%
NALCO:
has a stake of 87.15% in this company. Its aluminium refinery is located at Damanjodi. It
capex programme to increase its production from 345,000 tonnes to 460,000 tonnes.

CUSTOM EXTRUSION
1. INDUSTRY SPECIALIZATION
The most extensive and biggest use of aluminium is in packing. It used for packing in
various forms such as cans, foils, tubes, and bottle tops. Second biggest use of
extruded aluminium is in transportation. Aluminium extruded sections are widely used in
most transport vehicles. It is particularly suited for aeroplanes. A modern aeroplane
contains about 80% aluminium by weight; A Boeing 747 contains about 75 tons of
aluminium.
Electrical transmission is another very big application area for aluminium. It has about
63% of electrical conductivity of copper but only half the density. That makes it a very
attractive substitute for copper in electric cables and transmission lines. Particular for
bare conductors of transmission lines, aluminium is the only choice.
"Meeting with customer's need and satisfaction is the true achievement", we also
believe and follow this only statement at the time of manufacturing our extruded
products
The process initiates with the necessity or demand of an Extruded profile. Once the
necessity arrives, it demands specific die for that extrusion product which results in the
making of specific die for the product After getting the die, finally the production phase
of that particular extruded product takes place in plant under the process.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Materials are significant significance at the very least some other M‟s.
Issues have their root in
Material influences the productivity of all men, machine, cash & promoting
choices of the organizations and accordingly get the genuine worry of
administration at all floors. In the event that there were in like manner quite
a bit of material issues like perfect trusts lined up in unnecessary stock
stockpiling and obsolesces challenges business sector weight would rise.
Henceforth the significance of stock rundown administration has been
perceived.
He said that it is anything but difficult to transform money into stock, the test is to
transform stock over into money. In mid 1990‟s numerous merchants perceive that they
required help controlling and bringing off their biggest resource stock. In answer to this
need, a few organizations created thorough stock administration modules and
frameworks. These new programming frameworks incorporate numerous novel
elements intended to help merchants successfully oversaw stockroom stock. When
experiencing this numerous wholesalers don't feel that they have picked up authority of
their stock.
In this study Mr. W.Bagby clarifies that by dealing with the stock it gets to be simpler for
the association to meet the benefit objectives, shorter the money cycle, evade stock
lack, maintain a strategic distance from over the top conveying expenses for unused
stock, and enhance gainfulness by diminishing the money change and embrace a JIT
framework. As per this study organizations need to get brilliant about stock. Boosting
money related execution is another advantage that originates from better stock
administration. Contaminate huge number of makers appreciate investment funds and
better execution by picking the methodology of stock decrease. For this organization
needs to expand the income and productivity and this incorporates keeping an
attentive observing eye on charge in supply and request.
Rich Lavely 1998
Asserts that inventory means “Piles of Money” on the shelf and the profit for the firm.
However, he notices that 30% of the inventory of most retail shops is dead. Therefore,
he argues that the inventory control is facilitate the shop operations by reducing rack
time and thus increases profit. He also elaborates the two types of inventory
calculations that determine the inventory level required for profitability. The two
calculations are “cost to order” and “cost to keep”. Finally, he proposes seven steps to
inventory control.
He said that a large portion of the assembling organization merchants have arranging
and booking item which accept either limitless creation limit for computing amounts of
crude material and work in advancement (WIP) necessities or unending amounts of
crude material and WIP materials for figuring generation limit. There are numerous
issues with this methodology and how to keep away from these by verifying that the
item you are purchasing for sure considers limited quantities of obliged materials and
additionally limited limits of work focuses in your assembling offices.
In this article he said that stock advancement perceive that distinctive industry have
diverse stock profiles and prerequisites. Exploration has shown that arrangements are
estimated in an expansive extent from a huge number of dollars to a large number of
dollars. In this corner business sector segment cost is without a doubt not a pointer of
the nature of arrangement, ROI and ease of use are principal.
This article considers the setting of a populace of things for which the presumption
hidden the EOQ inference holds sensibly well. Then again, as is regularly the trade out
the practices there is a total requirement that applies to the populace all in all. Two
basic types of requirements are:
1)The financial backing's presence to be dispensed among the things' supplies and
2) A buying, generation office having the ability to process at most a sure number of
recharging every year. In light of the imperative the individual renewal amounts can't be
chosen autonomously.
Charles Atkinson
In the study by Mr. Charles Atkinson, he clarified the stock administration and appraisal of
stock levels. According to this study stock administration need to address two issues
This study tells about what the director ought to and not to do, and the amount of sum
ought to be requested in one set requests. Normal stock can be computed by
oversimplified technique.
A great deal of work has been done, however now in the event that we need to proceed,
we must have great perceivability upon this field of examination. That is the reason we
concentrated on a system for a comprehensive audit on the issue of production network
administration with stock errors. The creator said that their point in this work is
additionally to exhibit the most imperative measure that permits a refinement between
the diverse sort of dealing with the stock.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
The examination approach is one of the primary parts of extremely research. This
clarifies how the analyst leads this undertaking. The word examination demonstrates
the mode or the method for fulfilling an end. The cutting edge world is loaded with
experimental creations and looks for an investigative viewpoint to everything. Any
experimental methodology ought to have a technique or diagram to be taken after to
accomplish a specific objective. Through methodological, methodical strategy, we can
consider exactness and an obvious conclusion. There is no order without a philosophy.
The approach received in this study is talked about beneath to sum things up.
A research design is a framework for conducting the research project. It details the
procedure necessary for obtaining the information needed to structure and solve

1. Analysis of Inventory Management
The total inventory management of the company includes the raw materials
inventory, work in process inventory, finished goods inventory. The total inventory of the
company in 2018 is Rs. 40503.38 lacks. Alloysys Extrusion has total of approx. 214683
different types of inventories.

Interpretation:
Raw material conversion period is the time period between receiving the raw
material and sending them for production. It is the period of stocking the raw materials
for usage. So higher the ratio lower will be the profit. In the above chart raw material
conversion period lies between 15 to 19 days for the last five years. In 2014 it is 19
times which is not good for the company because higher the ratio the lower will be the
profit. In 2017 the ratio is 18 times which is also very high and so not good for the
company. So company should try to reduce it.

Interpretation:
Work-in-progress conversion period is the time period when the raw materials
are received for production and the time for their dispatch. The higher the ratio the lower
will be the profitability. In 2016 the ratio is 2 days which is too low and so it is good for
the company. But in 2014 the ratio is 5 days which is too high. But in 2017 the ratio is 3
days which is low and so good for the company. But as we have not compared it with
other companies any decision can’t be taken.

Interpretation:
Finished goods conversion period is the time of storage of finished goods in the
warehouse until they are sold. The higher the ratio the low will be the profit. If we store
the huge stock in warehouse then we are losing the opportunity cost. In 2014 the ratio is
9 days which increased by 5 days i.e. 39 days in 2017 which is not good. But in 2018
the ratio is 11 days which indicates that huge stock in laying at the go down and so the
company is losing its profit and so the profit in that year is very low.

Inventory conversion period indicates in how much days our inventory gets
converted. In this ratio we will consider the entire inventory ratio. We will consider all
type of inventories i.e. raw materials, work in process and finished goods. The higher
the ratio the higher will be the profitability. In 2015 the ratio is 9 days which shows that
in this year huge amount of profit the company has earned. So in this year the profit is
very high as compared to other year. But in 2017 the ratio is 7 days which is very huge
because the finished goods conversion period is huge.

The above chart indicates the amount of inventory with the company. The lower
the amount the higher will be the profit but higher the amount the lower will be profit.
There is inverse relation between profit and inventory. From the above chart it can be
seen that in 2017 the amount of inventory is Rs. 43089 (in lakhs) due to which the profit
also reduced and so the profit is low in 2014.
Total inventory turnover ratio is concerned with the cost of goods sold and
average inventory. Total inventory turnover ratio is shows how many times inventory is
replaced during the year symbolically,

Interpretation:
Inventories represent stocks of readymade goods or raw materials that are
needed to be kept in order to be able to meet the orders of clients. The higher the ratio
the higher will be the profit and lower the ratio lower will be the profit. In Alloysys
Extrusion the inventory turnover ratio for the year 2018 is 6 times which is lowest and
resulted into low profitability. The highest ratio is found in 2016 which is 8 times and it is
very good for the company. But any decision can’t be taken for it because we have just
compared the data of past five years of Alloysys Extrusion only and not of four to five
other companies ratios which are coming under this industry.
Work in process turnover ratio is concerned with the cost of goods sold and
average work in process inventory. Work in process turnover ratio shows how many
times work in process inventory is replaced during the year. Symbolically,

efficiency. In 2016 the ratio is approx 0.40 times which shows good profitability for the
company. But it reduced to 0.31 times in 2017 which shows decrease in profitability,
company is taking more time to produce finished goods which is not good for the
company.

Interpretation:
The above raw material has been categorized as “A” clas material and should be
kept under rigorous control as the investment in the inventory constitute more than 70%
value of the total investment made in raw material inventory.
The company should direct its most of the inventory control efforts to the items
included in the category.
Although the number of items which constitutes “B” & “C” category is not fairly
large investment in these category is less than 30% and which warrant the minimum
attention.
During the discussion and clarification with the executives of the company
controlling production and stores we were explained that the raw material which were
grouped under “B” & “C” category even though critical to the production process were
available easily.

Interpretation:
The above raw material has been categorized as “A” class material and should
be kept under rigorous control as the investment in the inventory constitute less than
70% value of the total investment made in raw material inventory.
Although the number of items which constitutes “B” category is not fairly large
investment in this category is less than 30% and which warrant the minimum attention.
And the “C” Category is more than 30% which needs a nominal attention
The raw material which was grouped under “B” & “C” category even though
critical to the production process was available easily.

Interpretation:
The above raw material has been categorized as “A” class material and should
be kept under rigorous control as the investment in the inventory constitute less than
70% value of the total investment made in raw material inventory.
The company should direct its most of the inventory control efforts to the items
included in the category.
Although the number of items which constitutes “B” category is not fairly large
investment in these category is less than 30% and which warrant the minimum
attention. Category “C” items are used adversely in this year. Proper investment is
needed to handle this products.

A B C
Interpretation:
A-items are goods which annual consumption value is the highest. The top 70-
80% of the annual consumption value of the company typically accounts for only 10-
20% of total inventory items. The company has 40.34% of “A” category products which
needs an enormous control.
C-items are, on the contrary, items with the lowest consumption value. The lower
5% of the annual consumption value typically accounts for 50% of total inventory items.
Here the company has34.83% of “C” category items which are low in consumption.
B-items are the interclass items, with a medium consumption value. That 15-25%
of annual consumption value typically accounts for 30% of total inventory items.
Through this categorization, the supply manager can identify inventory hot spots, and
separate them from the rest of the items, especially those that are numerous but not
that profitable.

INTERPRETATION
Above table represents the EOQ of each product for 1 month some of the
products, the quantity size is not mention EOQ. This indicates that the sale of the
product is very low. Therefore, the order is placed when it is needed.
FINDINGS
Research Findings:
In the company the total inventory conversion period for the year 2018
which is 208 days
Inventory turnover ratio in the year 2016 (7.95 times) is high.
Raw material turnover ratio is lowest in 2018 since last five years i.e.
30 times,
Work in process turnover ratio is very high in 2018 which is 224 times.
Finished goods turnover ratio is very high in 2014 which is 42 times
In ABC analysis, the A Category constitutes more than 70% of total
investment made in the raw materials. B and C category is not fairly large
investment in this category is than 30% and which warrant the minimum
attention.
The EOQ of each product for 1 month indicates that the sale of the
product is very low. So, the company should place the order whenever it is
needed.
SUGGESTIONS
a) From the findings it is came to know that in the year 2018 the number of
days for holding Raw material is more, it is not good for the company
because it eats unnecessary investment. To avoid this problem the following
points will help.
Purchase Raw Materials at the time when the stock reaches the minimum
level.
The purchases should not cross the Maximum limit otherwise the stock kept
in stores idle.
Quantity should be ordered as per the demand. We can assume the
demand for the goods from past experience.
We can have more Raw materials which are imported from other countries
but carry reasonable stocks which are available locally.
b) If we purchase less quantity of materials at a time it will reduce the carrying
cost but increases the ordering cost and vise versa. Therefore optimum
ordering quantity is necessary, which minimizes the cost.
c) The company should maintain a safety level and also reordering point so
that they come to know at what time they should order for the supply of
material and need not to suffer from short fall of required material.
CONCLUSION
Raw Material Conversion Period for the company is increased by 6 days in 2018
as compared to previous year is not a good sign.
Finished Goods Conversion Period in 2018 is highest which 182 days which has
increased by 55 days as compared to previous year should be reduced.
Since its beginning the company has to incur loss due to damage of machine E-
501 and due to which they had loss of production. So they have to keep this
machine in stock.
Most of the employees in the organization are not aware about how to use SAP
software. The inventory should be fast moving so that warehouse cost can be
reduced.
