DETAILs OF WINTER PROJECT
Students Name: Rohit Kumar Jha
Division 2 (SYMMS)
Roll No.-104
Project Name- Inventory Control.
Companys name:LECHLER INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED
Project Description
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Inventory is the most significant part of the company, which accounts for over 30-40% of the
companys expenditure. This project reflects the inventory management system of LECHLER
INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED. Inventory means all the materials, parts, supplies, expensive tools
and semi finished or finished products recorded on the book by an organization and kept in its
stocks, warehouse or plant for some period of time.
The area of focus of this project is to reduce the overall cost associated with inventory by the undertaking
activities:-
Obtaining the list of surplus stock and finding out reasons for growing surplus.
Attempt to reduce the existing surplus.
An attempt to prevent further accumulation of surplus
Making recommendations to the currently followed purchase procedure
Suggesting more effective method for the control of inventory.
Reduction of the accumulated/surplus stock period itself reduces unnecessary amount of money blocked
in the form of inventory and hence resulting in blocking the working capital of the company.
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
7/28/2019 Winter Report (1)
2/23
The primary objective of this project is to reduce overall expenditure or costing for the company by
lowering the cost associated with inventory.
Various other objectives pursued to fulfill the primary objective are as follows-
Reduction of existing surplus stock.
To avoid any further accumulation of surplus
To device an appropriate cost reduction technique of inventory control, which can be used along
with the existing technique to improve performance.
To ensure uninterrupted supply of materials.
DATA SOURCES
SECONDARY DATA-
As the project is based on Aligning the Inventory, hence data involved in the analysis is basically a
secondary data.
The facts and figures along with the records were taken from the executives of the company. Records
related to inventory were taken from purchase department and stores department.
METHOD OF DATA COLLECTION:
Since this scope & topic is based on theory it was imperative to use secondary data method for data
collection.
A real attempt was done to simplify the project research. The report is written in organized appearance.
Observations and recommendations are presented in this report in simple and systematic manner.
CONCEPTS OF INVENTORY
The literary meaning of the word inventory is stock of goods. To the finance manager, inventory
connotes the value of raw materials, consumables, spares, work-in-progress, finished goods and scrap in
which a companys funds have been invested. Good inventory management is good finance

management. An efficient management of inventory should ultimately result in the maximization of the
owners wealth. Therefore inventory is considered as locked up capital. Inventories mean tangible
property held:
a. For sale in the ordinary course of business; or
b. In the process of production for such sale or
c. For consumption in the production of goods or services for sale, including maintenance
supplies and consumables other than machinery spares.
DEFINITION
Inventory management may be defined as the sum total of those activities which are necessary for the
acquisition, storage, sale and disposal or use of material. It is a subject which merits the attention of the
top level management and influences the decisions of the planning and executive personnel.
Decisions relating to inventories are taken primarily by executives in production, purchasing and
marketing departments. Usually, raw material policies are shaped by purchasing and production
executives, work-in-progress inventory is influenced by the decisions of production executives and
finished goods inventory policy is involved by production and marketing executives. The financial
manager has the responsibility to ensure that inventories are properly monitored and controlled. He has
to emphasize the financial point of view and initiate programs with the participation and involvement of
others for effective management of inventories.
ASPECTS OF INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
Inventories are quite crucial for any business firm. The raw materials inventory, if kept excess of the
requirement may lead to unnecessary blocking of the funds in such inventory, while if it is in shortage, it
will lead to disrupting the flow of production. Similar things can be said about the work in progress and
finished goods inventory. The option before the management is either to keep a very low level of
inventory which is also known as hand to mouth policy or to keep a large quantity of inventory ensuring
absolute safety.
As said, above, if inventory levels are kept very low. It will lead to frequent stoppages of production. If
finished goods inventories are kept very low it will result in distributing the delivery schedule to the
7/28/2019 Winter Report (1)
4/23
customers. It may further lead to the cancellations of some of the orders. No firm can afford to take
such risks.
Alternatively, if inventory levels are kept on a very high level, carrying cost like storage, handling,
insurance, recording and inspection also increase in proportion to the inventory volumes. At the same
time, as large amount of funds are blocked in those inventories, the liquidity of the firm is severely
affected. The high levels of inventory may ensure safety but the cost of holding such a high level of
inventory may nullify their advantage.
It will also not be out of place to mention here that form holds inventories basically for three reasons:-
a) TRANSACTION MOTIVE:
This motive implies that inventories are maintained for the facilitation of smooth production
and sales.
b) PRECAUTIONARY MOTIVE:
It suggests that the inventories are maintained to take care against the risk of unforeseen
changes in demand and supply factors.
c) SPECULATIVE MOTIVE:
It says that the inventory maintenance (high or low) decision is affected by the motive to take
advantage of price fluctuations.
The aspects of inventory management can be described as follows:-
1. To ensure that a very high level of inventory is avoided.
2. At the same time to ensure that inventories are not so adequate that it will affect adversely the
smooth flow of production and sales.
3. Minimize the carrying cost and
4. Maintain an optimum level of inventories.
7/28/2019 Winter Report (1)

OBJECTIVES OF INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
To have stocks available as when they are required. To minimize available storage space, but prevent stocks level from exceeding space availability. To meet a high percentage of demand without creating excess stock levels. In other words,
neither to over-stock nor to run out is the bet policy. To maintain adequate accountability of inventory assets. To keep all the expenditure within the budget authorization. To decide which items to stock and which items to procure on demand. To ensure adequate supply of materials, stores, spares, etc. minimize stock-outs and shortages
and avoid costly interruption in operations. To keep down investment in inventories, inventory carrying cost and obsolescence losses to
minimum. To permit a better utilization of visible stocks by facilitating inter-departmental transfers within
a company. To provide a check against losses of material through careless of pilferage To serve as a means for the location and disposition of inactive and obsolete items of stores. To provide a perpetual inventory value and a consistent and reliable basis for the preparation of
financial statements. To contribute to the nations economic well-being.
To contribute to profitability and
To bring down the inventory carrying cost inventory management is considerable.
TECHNIQUES OF INVENTORY MANAGAMENT
A. FIXATION OF THE LEVELS.
B. SELSCTIVE CONTROL OF INVENTORIES.
C. JIT
D. ANALYSIS OF INVESTMENT IN INVENTORY.
McDonaldss vs. Wendys: An Example
Its easy to see how higher inventory turn than competitors translates into superior business
performance. McDonalds is unquestionably the largest and most successful fast food restaurant in the
world. Lets compare it to one of its main competitors, Wendys.
7/28/2019 Winter Report (1)
6/23
McDonaldss
2000 1999
Inventories $99,300,000 $82,700,000
Cost of revenue $8,750,100,000
Wendys
2000 1999
Inventories $40,086,000 $40,271,000
Cost of revenue $1,610,075,000
Use the inventory turn formula [cost of sales or cost of revenue divided by the average inventory values]
to come up with the number of inventory turns for each business. Between 1999 and 2000, McDonalds
had an inventory turn of rate of 96.1549[incredible for even a high-turn industry such as fast food]. This
means that every 3.79 days, McDonalds goes through its inventory. Wendys, on the other hand, has a
turn rate of 40.073 and clears its inventory every 9.10 days.
This inventory in efficiency can make a tremendous impact on the bottom line. By tying up as little
capital as possible in inventory, McDonalds can use the cash on hand to open more stores, increase its
advertising budget, or buy back shares. It eases the strain on cash flow considerably, allowing
management much more flexibility in planning for the long term.

STORES ORGANIZATION
Normally substantial amount of company's working capital is invested in stores. Due attention
should be given to stores routine. There should be system of proper accounting of materials and
supplies and it should be given same attention as is given to accounting for money. Raw
materials and supplies are equivalent of cash. They form an important part of manufacturing
and it is essential that they should be safeguarded and accounted for properly.
TYPES OF RAW MATERIAL
a. Raw Material Stores: -
It is the store where in incoming raw material, which directly contributes to the final
product, is received, stored and issued to the production department at various stages.
b. Engineering Stores:In this store, materials required of running of plant, which do not directly contribute as a part
of finished product, are stored. Machinery spares, consumables, stationery etc. are stored in
this and issued as per requisitions raised by various users.
c.Finished Goods Stores:It is the place where the finished products are stored after production and are ready to
dispatch to the respective locations or warehouses.

FUNCIONS OF STORES DEPARTMENT
In the company, the duties or functions broadly cover three types - physical task of storing and

and inspection section and places them in the respective bin.
3. The stores department provides necessary facilities for preserving the quality of materials
as long as they are in its custody.
4. It examines that issue procedure is properly followed by confirming the materials
supplied to production department only against written formal request/demand by
authorize through document material requisition note.
5. It keeps watch on actual stock level and compares the same with pre-set stock limits
(Maximum, Minimum, Reordering etc.) so that stock moves within limits.
6. Department prepares purchase requisition note for getting replenishment of stock when
actual quantity reaches reordering level.
7. The department carryout a regular review of stock for slow and fast moving materials,
damaged and substandard materials and reports such facts to top management.

10.The stores department undertakes physical verification (stock taking) for reconciling
actual balance with the book balance and identifying discrepancies, if any, with possible
7/28/2019 Winter Report (1)
14/23
causes for the same.
STORES DOCUMENTS AND RECORDS
Importance of stores documents & records:-
The stores department is all the time expected to give latest information about stock balance,
movement of the materials, and condition of the material. Such reporting has to be based on
some authentic source and hence, the stores and other concerned departments - purchase,
production, costing have to record their instructions, actions, decisions by using well designed
documents and registers. The store keeper is primarily held answerable for each and every
internal movement of materials, particularly for the stock under his custody. Proper
safeguarding and identification of materials should be done by the storekeeper.
STORES ACCOUNTING RECORDS
There are two basic records of inventory control viz. Bin Cards maintained by store keeper and
store ledger accounts kept by costing department. It is the parallel accounting exercise based on
same facts, recording same transaction i.e. movements of materials. Simultaneously posting of
same entries in two independent sets of accounts offers facility of reconciliation, which in turn
acts as an effective tool of inventory control.
BIN CARDS:-A bin card is used by storekeeper to keep quantitative records for all the
items of materials and goods in his stores. This is a document maintained by store keeper
in his stores to assist him to control stock.
The format of the bin card is given below: A bin card is used for each material. Each receipt,
issue or return is recorded on the bin card in a chronological order and the latest balance isshown after each receipt and issue. Bin card is hung up in a convenient place outside the bin,
rack or shelf. Bin cards are hung near the bins, so that they are readily available for making
entries as and when the goods are placed into the bin or taken out. All bins racks or shelves,
etc. should be numbered consequently in order to indicate their location to the store keeper
and his assistance. This numbering also serves to connect the bin card with the bin, to which
7/28/2019 Winter Report (1)
15/23
it belongs.
STORES LEDGER SYSTEM
It is kept in the costing department. The store ledger is generally maintained in the form of
loose leaf cards, because they can be removed and inserted easily. Each account in store ledger
represents an item of material. The format of store ledger is shown below: -
The store ledger provides a continuous record of material and stores, received, issued, returned
or transferred. It discloses the balance in hand both in quantity and value at any point of time.
It serves the management with the perpetual inventory record for necessary for decision
making. Material Receipt Report, Material Requisition, Material Return Note form the basis
for making entries in store ledger accounts. Entries made in the store ledger are identical tothose on bin cards except that money values are shown only in store ledger. It is very important
that store staff should have nothing to do with writing up of stores ledger account, which
should be written only by the staff of costing department.
7/28/2019 Winter Report (1)
16/23
Since both bin card and store ledger account are written up from the same basic document,
the quantity balance are shown by these records should agree. The reasons for discrepancies
bin balances fewer than two sets are due to such reasons as:
a. Failure to post a particular transaction
b. Wrong posting in store ledger account
c.Wrong casting
d.Theft and
e. Items placed in wrong bin.
To avoid the problem of disagreement, the two sets should be reconciled either continuously
over a period. For automatic reconciliation, store department sends the original documents to the
revised balance of bin card after its inclusion. Costing department watch that the balance of bin
card intimated with the original document is correct.

RECOMMENDATION AND SUGGESTION
The company was recommended to adopt a locking system which is as follows:-
Security for inventory is a must for every received material.
Security for GRR(Goods receipt report) is a must
For any transaction valid and released Purchase Order is required.
For any excess received material more than Purchase order receipt requires the approval of the
Vice President - Operations for acceptance.
The GRR details are to be updated within 5 days in the system or the information is blocked and
manually updated in the stores.
Suppose stock is under safety level, the required quantity is to be ordered after the approval
