WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

1. INTRODUCTION ABOUT INDUSTRY ENGINEERING INDUSTRY The Engineering sector is the largest in the overall industrial sectors in India. It is a diverse industry with a number of segments, and can be broadly categorized into two segments, namely, heavy engineering and light engineering. The engineering sector is relatively less fragmented at the top, as the competencies required are high, while it is highly fragmented at the lower end (e.g. unbranded transformers for the retail segment) and is dominated by smaller players. The engineering industry in India manufactures a wide range of products, with heavy engineering goods accounting for bulk of the production. Most of the leading players are engaged in the production of heavy engineering goods and mainly produces high-value products using high-end technology. Requirement of high level of capital investment poses as a major entry barrier. Consequently, the small and unorganized firms have a small market presence. The light engineering goods segment, on the other hand, uses medium to low-end technology. Entry barrier is low on account of the comparatively lower requirement of capital and technology. This segment is characterized by the dominance of small and unorganized players which manufacture lowvalue added products. However, there are few medium and large scale firms

which manufacture high-value added products. This segment is also characterized by small capacities and high level of competition among the players. The engineering industry is the largest segment of the overall Indian industry. The engineering industry can be divided into electrical and nonelectrical segments. The electrical segment depends upon the investments in power industry, while the prospects of the non-electrical segment are driven by industrial investment.

Engineering equipment finds demand in sectors like cement, steel, power, chemicals and petrochemicals, all of which have been adversely affected by the general slowdown in the Indian economy in the past. Indian manufacturers are capable of catering to most of the customers needs. There may be a supply constraint in some cases. For example, India has an installed capacity of 7000 MW in turbines. Some Indian manufacturers like BHEL and Larsen & Toubro have made a mark in the international markets, while some of the Indian arms of multinationals are a global base for outsourcing products and services including R&D. GROWTH OF THE INDUSTRY India is the fourth largest market in the world in terms of installed wind power capacity. In terms of new capacity added in 2006 it was third in the world. A good local production base for wind turbines now exists in the country, with 15 manufacturing companies active in this sector. Suzlon Energy Ltd, based in Mumbai, is the world's fifth largest wind turbine

generator company, and the largest in India (it is estimated to have over 50% of market share) and Asia, and the company reported record growth for the financial year ended 31 March 2007. Overseas sales accounted for around 48% of total sales during this year. Leading wind turbine blade manufacturer LM Glass fiber has two factories for manufacturing blades in India and it opened a new R&D Centre in Bangalore in May, joining its existing R&D Centers in Denmark and the Netherlands. The Indian Centre, which will employ more than 40 engineers by the end of the year, will specialize in finite element method (FEM), computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and computer-aided design (CAD) for product development. China is undoubtedly the powerhouse of the Asian region, but with a population of 1.1 billion (second only to China) and a booming economy, India is also attracting a lot of attention. India's gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate is around 8.5% (2006), lab our costs are low, the country has a strong base of skilled IT professionals, and English is widely spoken in the business world. Not surprisingly many foreign investors and companies are planning to, or have already, set up production units in India. In this environment the Indian composites industry has been faring well, registering a 25-30% annual growth rate over the last three consecutive years, more than twice that of general industrial growth and three times that of GDP. This is according to consultant Dr N.G. Nair, of NGN Composites, Chennai. Nair is also founder of the FRP Institute, a society which aims to

bring together all those who are concerned with fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) composites in India. Indian manufacturers of composite products are generally small- to mediumsized companies, Nair told Reinforced Plastics. There are about 300 medium-sized companies and over 1200 small companies (turnover less than 1 million rupees). There are over 60 larger companies. Around 25 companies are exporting their products, led by the manufacturers of chemical process equipment. INTRODUCTION TO FINANCE Finance is the life blood and nerve centre of a business. Just as circulation of blood is essential in the human body for maintaining life, blood is very essential for smooth running of business. It has been rightly termed as universal lubricant which keeps the enterprise dynamic. Finance is about the bottom line of business activities. It is that branch of economics that deals with management of money and assets involving banking, investment, credits, and so on. As a verb, lets look at the activities that happen around us. One needs a proper planning, or estimation in a business management, like arranging funds, assessing the profit or loss factor, etc. In the personal front arranging ones finance may be his or her saving ability or investment in various instruments available. A nation needs to have a budget to run the economy, have to plan accordingly regarding the general welfare based on the revenue generated from the tax-payers, or foreign exchanges earned over a period whether its private, public, or personal front, the common mantra here is proper

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

planning, understanding of income and expenditure, and risk-factors involved. Now, where do we find these entire activities taking place, or in common mans term wheres the market place? Its everywhere around us, but happens in a very organized fashion, so we will call them in different names, like stock (equity) markets, Forex market, etc. The Foreign Exchange or the Forex market is regarded to be the largest financial market place based on the volume of transaction every day. It involves regulatory banking bodies, government, MNCS, and other financial institutions. Finance market place is basically the exchange or trading place for one currency with other. There isnt any particular institutional body where this trading happens, but usually an over-the counter practice, where different currency instruments are exchanged. Even the rate varies from place to place, that is why you will find different values for one dollar in other countries. MEANING OF FINANCE Finance may be defined as the provision of money at the time when it is required. Finance refers to managing the flows of money through an organization. It concerns with the application of skills in the manipulation, use and control of money. Different authorities have interpreted the term Finance differently.

In other words it is the amount of funds used for financing the day to day operation. In short it is the capital with which the business is worked over. Thus the capital invested in various current assets and current liabilities constitutes the working capital and the management or administration to all its aspects is called as Working Capital Management. Without it however successful the manager of the firm may be he is unable to manage his firm. The important is that much that all financial managers spend a great of time in managing current assets and current liabilities, which are true ingredients of Working Capital.

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

Management of Working Capital refers to the Management of current assets as well as current liabilities. However, Manager should avoid two danger points-excessive and inadequate investments in current assets. The investment in current assets should be just adequate not more not less than the need of the firm. Excessive investment in Current assets should be avoided because it impairs firms profitability. On the other hand inadequate amount of Working Capital can threaten the solvency of the firm. Thus, the management should be too prompt to initiate an action and correct the imbalances. Whenever a need for Working Capital funds due to the increasing level of business activity or for any other reason, the arrangement should be made quickly. Similarly, some surplus funds arise; they should be invested in short term securities. Thus the financial manager should have knowledge of the sources of Working Capital funds as well as the investment avenues for temporary investment of idle funds. MEANING OF WORKING CAPITAL Working capital means the funds (i.e.; capital) available and used for day to day operations (i.e.; working) of an enterprise. It consists broadly of that portion of assets of a business which are used in or related to its current operations. It refers to funds which are used during an accounting period to generate a current income of a type which is consistent with major purpose of a firm existence. Working capital, also known as net working capital or NWC, is a financial metric which represents operating liquidity available to a business. Along with fixed assets such as plant and equipment, working capital is considered
Madurai kamraj university Page 10

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

a part of operating capital. It is calculated as current assets minus current liabilities. If current assets are less than current liabilities, an entity has a working capital deficiency, also called a working capital deficit. Working Capital = Current Assets Current Liabilities DEFINITION OF WORKING CAPITAL An accounting strategy in which a company seeks to maximize its cash flows so as to pay for its current liabilities and operating expenses. Examples of working capital management include active monitoring of accounts receivable and maintaining little short-term debt. Working capital management, CONCEPTS OF WORKING CAPITAL There are two concepts of Working capital viz., Gross Working capital and Net Working capital. GROSS WORKING CAPITAL It refers to amount of funds contained in current assets employed in business. NET WORKING CAPITAL It refers to difference between current assets and current liabilities.

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

CLASSIFICATION OF WORKING CAPITAL On the basis of time, working capital can be classified into, 1. 2. Permanent Working Capital and Temporary Working Capital.

Permanent Working capital There is always a minimum level of current assets which is continuously required by the firm to on its business operations. This minimum level of Current assets is referred to as permanent of Fixed Working Capital. Temporary Working capital Temporary Working Capital is that extra Working Capital needed to support the changing levels of production & sales activities. It is also known as fluctuating variable Working Capital. Both the above kinds of Working Capital are necessary to facilitate production and sales but temporary working capital is created by the firm to meet liquidity requirement that last only temporarily. OPERATING CYCLE IN A MANUFACTURING UNIT Working capital process is cyclical in nature. Suppose a Company has certain amount of cash and with it. It purchases raw materials and also pays for the labor costs and factory overheads. These together constitute work in progress. Work in progress than gets converted into finished goods, which

Madurai kamraj university

Page 13

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

are sold for cash or credit. The credit sales results in the creation of Accounts receivables which release in cash at the end of the credit period. Every business needs investment to procure fixed assets, which remain in use for longer period Capital, the Working Capital can be categorized, as funds needed for carrying out day-to-day operation of the business smoothly. The management of the working capital is equally important as the management of long-term financial investment. IMPORTANCE OF WORKING CAPITAL It is important for several reasons. For one thing, the current assets of a typical manufacturing firm account for over half of its total assets. For a distribution company, they account for even more. Excessive levels of current assets can easily in a firm realizing a substandard return on investment. However, firm with too current assets may incur shortage and difficulties in maintaining smooth operation. For small companies, current liabilities are the principle source of external financing. The firms do not have access to the longer-term capital market, other than to acquire a mortgage on a building. The fast-growing but larger company also makes use of current liabilities financing. For these reasons, the financial manager and staff devote a considerable portion of their time to working capital matters. The management of cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accruals, and other means of shortterm financial is the direct responsibility of the financial manager: only the management of inventories is not. Moreover these management

responsibilities require continues, day-to-day supervision. Unlike divided

and capital stretcher decision, you cannot study the issue, reach a decision, and set the matter aside many months to come. Thus working manager capital management is important, if for no other reason than the proportion of the financial managers time that must be devoted to it. More fundamental, however, is the effect working capital decisions have on the companys risk, return, and share price. 1. Working capital has acquired a great significance and sound position for the twin objects. 2. It occupies an important place in financial management. 3. The developing economies are generally faced with the problem of inefficient utilization of resources available to them. 4. Fixed capital and working capital are the dominant contributors to the total capital of the developing country. DETERMINANTS OF WORKING CAPITAL A large number of factors influence the working capital needs of the firms. The factors are of different importance and then; important may vary over a period of time. The importances of the factors which generally influence the working capital requirement of a firm are: Factors determining size of working capital: 1. Nature of industry: In case of a trading organization they need less working capital where as a manufacturing industry requires more. Even in manufacturing industry depending upon the product they are manufacturing working capital limit varies.

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

2.

Volume of sales: This is the most important factor which is directly related with volume of working capital. Higher the turnover higher will be the working capital and vice versa.

3.

Terms of purchase and sale: Favorable terms of purchase or sale means less working capital and vice versa.

4.

Inventory (turnover) cycle:- Its the time involved in converting raw material into finished goods then in to sales. Less period (high turnover) of inventory cycle lesser will be required for working capital and vice versa.

5.

Receivables (collection period) turnover:- This is the time involved in converting debtors into cash. Higher turnover (less collection period involved) less amount of working capital is required and vice versa.

6.

Collection policy/ credit policy:- Strict collection policy adopted by the firm means less working capital and vice versa.

7.

Attitude to risk:- The firm attitude towards risk determines size of working capital. If they are ready to have more risk for more profit, they can manage with less working capital and vice versa.

8.

Seasonal fluctuation:- More fluctuation means more working capital required to manage the fluctuation and vice versa.

9.

Government policy:- especially in case of banking business, size of working capital is determined by government policies like minimum cash balance to be kept, amount to be invested in government security etc.

CASH MANAGEMENT Cash is the basic input needed to keep the business running on a continuous basis, basically the firms needed to hold cash for the following three motives: 1. 2. 3. The transactions motive The precautionary motive The speculative motive

Cash shortage will disrupt the firms manufacturing operation while excessive cash will simply remain idle, which is least productive asset. Thus, (The firm should keep sufficient cash, neither more, not less). In order to resolve the uncertainty about cash flow, the firm, to follow the following strategies. 1. 2. 3. 4. Cash planning Managing the cash flows Investing surplus cash Optimum cash level

IMPORTANCE OF CASH MANAGEMENT Cash Management assumes more important than other current assets, because cash is the most significant because it is used to pay the firm holds. It is significant because it is used to pay the firm obligations. Cash has two unique features. First it is the most liquid of all assets that is it can be distributed immediately without any restrictions and secondly it is the least productive
Madurai kamraj university Page 18

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

Asset that the firm holds cash to a business is like blood to the human body. Therefore the aim of cash management is to maintain adequate control over cash position to keep the firm sufficiently liquid, and to use excess cash in some profitable way. NEED FOR MAINTENANCE OF ADEQUATE WORKING CAPITAL An adequate or optimum working capital balance refers to the desired working capital where a firm will not have excess or shortage of working capital and indicates both profitability and liquidity for the firm. It is necessary to maintain an optimum cash balance, an optimum level of inventory and an optimum level of debtors and receivable. DANGERS OF EXCESS WORKING CAPITAL 1. It results in unnecessary accumulation of inventory in the form of raw material or work in progress or finished goods, leading to a high cost of storage, space, Insurance, increased theft, deterioration in the quality of goods, etc. 2. Also, it is an indication of defective credit policy and slack collection period. 3. Excess cash in hand indicates idle cash and even though the liquidity position of the company is good, it lacks profitability. 4. Excessive working capital makes the management complacent, which degenerates into managerial inefficiency.

Madurai kamraj university

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

DANGERS OF INADEQUATE WORKING CAPITAL 1. The production process will be obstructed if there is shortage of working capital. 2. Fixed assets are not efficiently utilized if there is lot of working capital funds, which leads to deterioration in profits. 3. The firm loses its reputation when it is not in a position to honor its shortterm obligations 2. RESEARCH DESIGN

Process of producing these products:

Filament winding process: In this process glass fibers are drawn through a resin bath (epoxy) and wound on an ms mandrel of known diameter (internal diameter of cylinder). The winding process will be carried out for the desired length and desired outer diameter plus 2-3 mm for machining to get smooth finish. Both circumferential (90 degree to the mandrel axis) as well as angular (54 degree included angle) winding will be carried out to get maximum strength in axial and circumferential directions. The wound cylinder is cured as per respective curing schedule, de molded and machined to get required do and length. Pultrusion process: Pultrusion is one of the latest techniques for production of FRP composites. In this technique the reinforcements viz, glass, carbon, aramid etc. Are drawn through a resin bath (epoxy, polyester, vinyl ester etc.), which enters a preheated die of desired dimension. The resin and glass cures inside the die. The cured composite will be pulled continuously by alternate pullers. Glass ravings alone will give maximum strength in longitudinal direction. Whenever bidirectional strength is required, glass mat, woven roving, glass cloth will be used along with continuous ravings. Composites produced by this technique will have very high mechanical and electrical properties. This technique is known for high volume production. The reinforcement to resin ratio will be constant throughout the process.

OPERATIONAL DEFINITIONS OF CONCEPTS ANALYSIS OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT Classification of ratio: Liquidity or Short Term Solvency Analysis Profitability Analysis Stability ratio Turnover ratio Liquidity or short term solvency analysis: Liquidity or short term solvency analysis aims to determine the ability of a business to meet its financial obligations during the short-term and to maintain its short term debt paying ability. The main aim of liquidity analysis is for a company to have adequate funds to pay bills when they are due on to meet unexpected needs or cash. Liquidity analysis mainly focuses on balance sheet relationships that indicate the ability of a business to liquidate current and non-current liabilities. The ratios that evaluate liquidity relate to working capital. The comparisons and ratios related to evaluating liquidity or short term solvency are as follows.

Types of Liquidity Ratio Working Capital Position: The working capital of a business is the excess of current assets over current liabilities. This is computed by subtracting current liabilities form the current assets. Working Capital = Current Assets Current Liabilities Current Ratio: Current ratio is sometimes referred to as working capital ratio, current ratio expresses the relationship of current assets to current liabilities, and it is widely used as a broad indicator of a companys liquidity and short term debt paying ability. Current ratio = Current assets Current Liabilities
