INBOUND LOGISTICS OF NFCL

This primary activity of the supply chain management is taken to

understand and analyze the various inputs (inbound logistics) of NFCL and the

fertilizer industry at large. The primary inputs required by the NFCL are Natural

Gas, Naphtha, Electricity and fuel Natural Gas. Purchases of traded products,

Pool Urea (imports), Specialty Fertilizers are also considered as they are

inflows to the company. Catalysts Charge, Chemicals and Consumables,

Packing Material, stores and spares, and others (indigenous) are considered to

study how effective and efficient they are in the SCM of NFCL and to the

fertilizer industry itself.

Chart - 6.1: Quantity and value of Natural Gas and Naphtha (Ind)

Purchased for 10 Years (2001 – 2011)

INTERPRETATION:

Chart- 6.1 shows the Quantity and value of Natural Gas and Naphtha (Ind)

Purchased for 10 Years (2001 – 2011). It shows in the years 2002 - 03, 2003 - 04,

2004 - 05, 2005 - 06, 2006 - 07, 2007 - 08, 2008 - 09, 2009 - 10 and 2010 – 11 the

% change in the quantity of Natural gas is 5.09, 0.95, -3.01, -7.87, -5.20, 2.82, -

8.72, 73.5 and 13.2 respectively. Whereas the % changes in the value of Natural

gas is 4.35, 14.32, -0.47, -0.96, 1.65, -4.26, -5.25, 126.8 and 44.48 respectively.

The reason for this unequal and irregular % changes are fluctuations in the output

and flexible supply of inputs by the vendors. The % change in the quantity of

Naphtha in the years 2002 - 03, 2003 - 04, 2004 - 05, 2005 - 06, 2006 - 07, 2007 -

08, 2008 - 09, 2009 - 10 and 2010 – 11 is 10.76, -51.3, 140, 14.27, -3.2, 2.027,

27.52, -95.5 and -100 respectively. And the % change in the value of Naphtha is

14.04, -41.4, 248.1, 51.44, 16.95, 17.84, 32.17, -96.6 and -100 respectively. The %

change in the quantity and value of Naphtha from the year 2009 – 10 is 100% less

Company has phased out usage of Naphtha in a phased manner and has

completely changed over to Natural Gas feed Stock from August ’09 onwards.

From this study it is clear that there is no equal and regular or gradual

increase in % change of both quantity and the values. So it is suggested that the

company should see that the % change in the value is always less than the %

change of quantity.

INTERPRETATION:

Fig 6.3 Shows the quantity and the value comparison of electricity

purchased and own generation over ten years. It shows in the quantity of total

electricity 99% is in the form of own generation and only 1% is in the quantity of

purchased electricity. Where as in the total value nearly 100% is the value of

purchased electricity and only very negligible portion is the value of own

generation.

From this study it can be said that the company is paying maximum value

to the less quantity of electricity purchased. So it is suggested that the investments

in purchasing electricity is harvested and the same is invested to produce more by

own generation.

INTERPRETATION:

Table 6.4 Shows the Quantity and value of fuel Natural Gas consumed for

10 Years. It shows the % change in Rate per Unit of Natural Gas (Rs. /1000 SM3)

in the year 2002 – 03 is -0.71, but in the year 2003 – 04 it is 13. 5 is due to lack of

availability of fuel natural gas. From 2004 to 2007 there is a gradual increase in

the % of Rate per Unit of Natural Gas(Rs./1000 SM3) but in the year 2007 – 08

there is a -5% change is due to govt. pricing policy. Again from the years 2009 to

2011 there is increase in the Rate per Unit of Natural Gas (Rs. /1000 SM3) is due

to feed stock shift from naphtha to natural gas.

From this study it is clear that the average Rate per Unit of Natural Gas (Rs/1000

SM3) is 50% more in the year 2001 to 2011. So it is suggested that the govt.

should make more allocation of natural gas to the fertilizers industry.

INTERPRETATION:

Table 6.5 shows the Value of others (Ind) purchased for 10 Years. It shows

in the years 2002 - 03, 2003 - 04, 2004 - 05, 2005 - 06, 2006 - 07, 2007 - 08, 2008

- 09, 2009 - 10 and 2010 – 11 the % change in the Value of others (Ind) Purchased

is 13.3, -0.73, 3.08, -2.66, -12.4, -1.16, 0.67, 31.6 and -22.1 respectively. The

reason for this irregular % changes are due to fluctuations in the supply and the

govt. policies in imports. In the year 2009 – 10 the % change from the previous

year is 31.6 is also the result of excess quantity received to meet the demand.

Again in the year 2010 – 11 it was reduced to -22.1% at which the value is very

low.

From this study it is clear that the inputs to the company are not regular so

it forms a bottleneck in the output. So it is suggested that the company and the

govt. should see that these inputs should flow consistently to meet the demand

from the end user the farmer.

INTERPRETATION:

Table 6.6: Presents Value of Specialty Fertilizers Purchased for 10 Years. It

shows in the years 2002 - 03, 2003 - 04, 2004 - 05, 2005 - 06, 2006 - 07, 2007 -

08, 2008 - 09, 2009 - 10 and 2010 – 11 the % change in the Value of specialty

fertilizers Purchased is -14.6, 3.7, 6.07, 68.6, 28.5, 13.1, 20.4 and -1.13

respectively. In the year 2005 – 06 the % change is 68.6 from the previous year is

gradually reduced to -0.65% in the year 2010 – 2011. The reason for this irregular

% changes are due to fluctuations in the supply and the govt. policies in the

allocations.

From this study it is clear that the other firms which are manufacturing

specialty fertilizers are also facing the output problems which are inputs to many

companies like NFCL. So it is suggested that the Fertilizer industry should

implement the SCM strategies like the proposed one in an effective and efficient

manner to meet the demand from the industrial users and the ultimate end user the

farmer.

INTERPRETATION:

Table 6.7: presents Value of Purchases of traded products for 10 Years. It

shows in the years 2002 - 03, 2003 - 04, 2004 - 05, 2005 - 06, 2006 - 07, 2007 -

08, 2008 - 09, 2009 - 10 and 2010 – 11 the % change in the Value of Purchases of

traded products is -46.3, -30.1, 232, -22.6, 349, 81.9, -5.9, 54, and 125

respectively. It reveals that in the year 2004 – 05 the % change is 232% from its

previous year. And in 2005 – 06 it is reduced to -22.6% and again in the year 2006

– 07 it is 349% is again reduce to -45% in the year 2008 – 09 is the result of

companies policies in maintaining its product assortment.

From this study it is clear that the company is trying to offer the consistent

product mix by sourcing traded product from other firms. So it is suggested that if

the company wants to offer the complete product mix to its end users at affordable

price the company should go for manufacturing rather than sourcing from others.

45.6, 50.7, 17.9, 11.2, -15.7, 51, -33.7 and 24.4 respectively. It tells us that from

the year 2002 – 03 to 2004 – 05 there is an increase in the % change is due to

increase in the production capacity and the output. From the year 2004 – 05 to

2007 – 08 the % change is decreased to -15.7 from 50.7 is the result of

Arrangements for setting up a 3x 60 MW coal based power plant. The Crude

supply and product off-take (export) contract with British Petroleum is in place, as

also the agreement with domestic marketing with Indian Oil Corporation. We can

find fluctuation in the values of power and fuel from the year 2008 – 09 to 2011 is

the result of commencement of supply of gas to both the plants, the Company has

phased out usage of Naphtha in a phased manner and has completely changed over

to Natural Gas feed Stock from August ’09 onwards.

From this study it is clear that the company is doing its best to reduce the

value of power and fuel. So it is suggested that if the company can use alternative

resources like solar energy and the wind energy as the company is located in the

coastal region which can help the company to meet its objective of reducing the

value of power and fuel.

INTERPRETATION:

Table 6.9: Illustrates the Value of Catalysts Charge for 10Years. It shows in

the years 2002 - 03, 2003 - 04, 2004 - 05, 2005 - 06, 2006 - 07, 2007 - 08, 2008 -

09, 2009 - 10 and 2010 – 11 the % change in the Value of Catalysts Charge is -

28.6, -58.3, 1431, -47.6, -1.22, 43.4, -28.9, 5.13 and -98.6 respectively. It tells us

that in the year 2004 – 05 the % change is 1431 huge increase than in the year

2003 – 04 is because of large scale purchase in the year 2004 – 05 to gain the

economies of large scale purchases and the value has gradually decreased to -98.6

% changes in the year 2011.

From this study it is clear that the company is doing the best to reduce the

value of catalyst charges as they play a vital role in chemical reactions for

manufacturing fertilizers. So it is suggested that if the company can re-use these

catalysts as they remain unchanged after chemical reactions can reduce the value

even lower.

us that from the year 2003 – 04 to 2010 – 11 there is fluctuations in the value of

Packaging Material is due to bulk purchase and durability of the materials.

From this study it is clear that the company is performing well in reducing

the value of Packaging Materials. So it is suggested that if the company can

manufacture the PVC bags for packaging it will gain cost competitive advantage

in the industry.

Table 6.12: Value of stores and spares (indg& import) consumed for 10 Years

Source: NFCL Annual Reports 2002 to 2011

INTERPRETATION:

Table 6.12 Presents the Value of stores and spares consumed for 10 Years.

It shows that in the years 2001 – 02, 2002 - 03, 2003 - 04, 2004 - 05, 2005 - 06,

2006 - 07, 2007 - 08, 2008 - 09, 2009 - 10 and 2010 – 11 the Value of stores and

spares (Indigenous) consumed are 329.08, 261.48, 205.78, 476.58, 723.07, 782.06,

701.41, 619.11, 589.28 and 1075.91 respectively. And the Value of stores and

spares (Imported) consumed are 147.23, 122.29, 99, 104.15, 1938.5, 136.88,

325.4, 638.3, 264.14 and 321.84 respectively. It tells us that except in the years

2005 – 06 and 2008 – 09 the %value of imported stores and spares consumed are

less than 50% of value of indigenous stores and spares is because of the

availability of stores and spares.

Hence it is suggested that the company should depend only on indigenous

stores and spares as they can be available in due time with less cost and it should

depend on imported when these are not available in local market.
