Koya Project On Inventory Management

MPM Inventory Management
PART-A
GENERAL INTRODUCTION
There are four important components for running an industrial organization i.e.,
Men, machine, material and money. All these four components have to be employed in
an industry in order to make the manufacturing process to extract the finished products
and marketing it properly to get sales realization with profit.
Profit making is an important goal or an object of any industrial organization. To

attain the maximum profitability utilizing the above set Four M’s to the optimum level.
Money is used for procurement of the material which is required for the production.
During the time of procurement the requirement of the proper material has to be
identified and required quality and quality of material has to be decided in advance.
This is nothing but a process of material procurement planning. The very purpose
of planning of procurement of material is to purchase the good quality material for a most
competitive lowest price. This will help the organization to undertake manufacturing
process most effectively with minimum or nil wastage.
Many times in an industry organization’s improper planning in material

procurement leads to filing up material stock in the form of raw-materials; semi-finished
goods ( W-I-P) unsold finished goods.
The aim of such stock is called inventory.
Any unwanted stock leads to debt capital which cannot be appreciated as good
financial management. Hence, material and money are playing a vital role in the efficient
financial management.
This project is select to have detailed study about the “Financial Planning and
forecasting” which is the one of the important activity in any industrial organization to
reach the organization goal with out much effort. Because, inventory management has to
be definitely considered for the increase of profitability and reduce the unwanted
working capital investment in the process of manufacturing.
INDUSTRIAL PROFILE
The invention of paper
Written communication has been the center of civilization for centuries. Most of
our important records are on paper. Although written has been around for a long time,
paper hasn’t. infact, putting thoughts down in written form wasn’t easy or partial. Earlier
people discovered that they could make simple drawing on the walls of caves which was
a great place for recording thoughts, but wasn’t portable.
Imagine spending hours scratching a massage into a heavy clay table and then
having to transport it, that’s exactly what the Sumerians did around 4000 BC. Although
this form of written communication was not portable, is still wasn’t practical because of
its weight.
For centuries people tried to discover better surface on which to records their
thoughts. Almost everything imaginable was tried. Wood, stone, ceramics, cloth, bark,
mettle, silk, bamboo, and tree leaves were all used as a writing surface at one time or
another.
The word ‘paper’ is derive from the word “papyrus” which is plant found in
Egypt along the lower Nile River. About 5000 years ago, Egyptians created “sheets” of
papyrus by harvesting, peeling and slicing the plant into strips. The strips were then
layered, pounded together and smoothened to make a flat, uniform sheet.
The person credited with inventing paper is Chinese man named Ts’ai Lun. He
took the inner bark of a mulberry tree and bamboo fibers, mixed them with water, and
pounded them with a wooden tool. He then poured this mixer on to a flat piece of
coarsely woven cloth and the water drain though, leaving only the fibers on the cloth.
By the tenth century Arabians were substituting lines fiber for wood and bamboo,
creating a finer sheet of paper. Although paper was of fairly high quality now, the only
way to reproduce written work was by hand, painstaking process.
By 12th century paper making reached Europe. In 1448, Johannes Guttenberg, a
Germen, was credited with inventing printing press. ( it is believed that movable type was
actually invented hundreds of years earlier in Asia ). Book and other important
documents could now be reproduced quickly. This method of printing in large quantities
led to a rapid increase in the demand for paper.
Some of the important development in recent decades is as follows:
1. Multi-stage bleaching of Kraft-paper, lending to availability of fully bleached

Kraft- pulp.
2. Use of chloride-di-oxide for pulp for pulp bleaching permitting higher rightness
with the retention of strength.
3. Coating of paper, while passing through the paper machine dryer section. Greatly
expanding use of coated paper for printing.
4. Use of soluble bases for sulfite pulping permitting pulping of more species wood
by the sulfite process.
5. Bleaching of high yield pulp, ground-wood and semi-chemicals.
6. Wet strength paper use of synthetic resins for economic production of wide
variety of paper that are strong when wet.
7. Multi-stage sulfites pulping permitting greater variety of pulp properties.
8. Continues cooking of Kraft and semi-chemicals pulp making is possible,
reduction in capital and operating cost.
9. High yields pulping: combined chemical and mechanical action to produce pulp
from wood in high yield.

Indian paper industrial scenario:
The paper industry is cyclical in nature: its demand is linked to the level of
economic activity and the supply is influenced by domestic production and as well as
international trade in pulp and paper.
USA ( over 30% ), Western Europe (around 20%), and Japan (12-15%) account
for a major portion of the demand. Global demands add stagnated in 1990-93 at around
250MN TPA with showing down of economic growth. Per capital consumption actually
dropped 3-5% and with dropping demand capacities closed down. The recovery started
in 1993-94 with improvement economic outlook. In 1994-95 international pulp and paper
prices kept rising on the back of growing demand.
India’s per capital consumption is very low at 3 kg against a world average of
over 45 kgs, domestic industry has nearly 600 mills with an aggregate capacity of 3.8
MN tons per annum. Out of 600 mills, 30 are large wood/bamboo based mills, 80 are
agro based and rest are waste paper based. The effective capacity is about 2.6 million
tones as a lot of mills are sick. In the new s print segment total capacity is
around0.4million TPA (MTPA), of this 73% is dominated by four major players in the
public sector while the rest of the capacity is shared by 14 players.
Structure of paper industry;

The industry can be classified on the basis of size, the type of raw materials
consumed and the end product manufactured.
The Indian paper industry comprises of nearly 600 mills with a total capacity of
around 3.8 M TPA. More than 200 mills have capacities of less then 20000 TPA. There
are 12 companies with a capacity of 50,000 TPA and only 2 with 1,00,000 TPA and
above.
Based on the raw material used, the mills can be classified as wood-based ( hard
wood or bamboo ), agro residue based ( baggase and rice / wheat straw ) and news paper
based ( imported waste paper and pulp ).

Future prospectus of paper industry:
Strong demand from packaging segment will drive demand growth for industrial
paper. Establishment of new business area such as telecom and power will lead to
increasing literacy levels, thus improving low per capital consumption of paper (3.2 kgs
p.a). Besides rapid growth in population, enhanced literacy levels, growing quality
consciousness and changing consumer preferences will drive paper demand.
In view high capital costs, expansion of existing units and revivals of sick units
remain the practical option for capacity addition. Also, paper mills in India have to look
for ways to cut down costs to compete with imports.
International paper prices are not expected to prices are not expected to price
substantially over the short medium term. Domestic paper companies will thus continue
to reel under the pressure of reduced margins. However, a depreciating rupee will
marginally protect domestic companies from imports. Due to increased supply, some of
the companies have put their expansion plans on hold or have reduced their investment
opting for lesser capacity expansions.
HISTORICAL PAPER INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT IN INDIA
Indian paper industry is classified broadly into two categories into two categories
paper and paper bonds then newsprint. The paper and paperboard segment constitutes of
cultural paper, industrial paper and special paper.
Paper industry in India has a long history with the first mill being commissioned
in 1832. The initial development and growth of paper industry till the early nineteenth
century was affected by the shortage of wood (soft wood) in the country. But in 1914, in
development of a process based on bamboo lead rapid growth of domestic industry. By
the end of sixties, the capacity for paper production lagged, demand and imports
increased to approximately 10% of the domestic demand. Most of the domestic
production was concentrated in the hands of a few large mills. By the late sixties, bamboo
as an input to paper industry came under short supply. Taking this into account, the
government of India started encouraging small units based on an agro residue and waste
paper in the seventies. Fiscal incentives were also offered. This lead to spurt in the
number of mills with small capacities.
But from the late eighties industry started facing an oversupply situation lower
price realization and plant closures. The downtrend continued till 1992, when demand
supply situation improved.
From 1993, step with the easing of the worldwide recession in the industry,
investments stated increasing. A booming capital market also helped in raising money for
new capacities. The industry was in a jolly mood up to 1996.
The increase in supply coupled with a worldwide recession has pushed the Indian
paper industry back into down trend. The global cycle was further affected by the Asian
crises, which has reduced demand considerably.
Since 1990 the paper industry in India, is following global cycle with periods of
over capacity leading to drop in paper prices, lower capacity utilization and slow down
in investments/capacity addition, followed by closure of mill, decreased in demand
supply gap and then back full circle to an increase in paper prices.
BASIC PROBLEMS FACED BY THE NEWSPRINT IN INDIA
The economic liberalization policies initiated by the Narasimha Rao committee

government in 1991 have been carried through vigor in successive years. As a result
industry is on the road to globalization and its getting even more inter wined with the
overseas market.
The sharp rise is pricing during 1973-74 created a paper crisis in the county.
HIGH COST OF PRODUCTION

1. The international price of capital equipment needed by the news print industry has
been souring. Over cost too have been rising quite fast.
2. Power and coal both supplied by the public sector units have risen by 400% in the
last decade.
3. Similarly chemical materials have also risen by similar percentage; royalties on
bamboo and hard wood have been increased by 100% to 700% in the last 6 years
in some states.
4. The acute shortage of local timber and heavy excise duties has burdened the
newsprint industry, which has been struggling all along out and above all these
problems there is services power cut, especially in south India.
Future Prospects of paper industry:
• Establishment of new business area such as telecom and power will lead to
increasing literacy levels, thus improving the low per capita consumption of paper
(3.2 KGS per annum). Besides rapid growth in population, enhanced literacy
levels, growing quality consciousness and changing consumer preferences will
drive paper demand.
• In view of the high capital costs, expansion of existing units and revival of sick
units remain the practical option for capacity additions. Also, paper mills in India
have to look for ways to cut down costs to compete with imports.
• International paper prices are not expected to rise substantially over the short-
medium term. Domestic paper companies will thus continue to reel under the
pressure of reduced margins. However, a depreciating rupee will marginally
protect domestic companies from imports. Due to increased supply, some of the
companies have put their expansion plans on hold or have reduced their
investment opting for lesser capacity expansions.
COMPANY PROFILE
Background and inception of the company

The MPM situated on the bank of river Bhadra at Bjadravathi, Shimoga Dist.,
Karnataka state, was incorporated in the year 1936 as a joint sector company. The
foundation stone was laid by the then Maharaja of Mysore Sri. Krishanarajendra
Wodeyar. It was started with a small capacity of Rs.2.5 million. Since inception, the
MPM never looked back. It went from one threshold of progress to another expanding
its annual capacity to 8000 MT in 1952, then to 18000 MT in 1964 and to 24000 MT in
1972.
In 1976 the company ventured a major expansion project by installing new
machinery to produce 75000 MT of news print per annum and increasing the capacity
from 24000 MT to 30000 MT per annum of writing and printing varieties of paper. The
project was completed during 1981. In 1983, a sugar mill of 2500 TCD was
commissioned and thus MPM become the first largest, single location integrated plant in
the country manufacturing news, writing and printing paper and sugar at a single
location. The integration of sugar mill with paper mill is with the idea of utilizing the by-
products of sugar mill i.e., sugar cane baggase for paper production and avoid
dependence of forest based raw materials and avoid deforestation. With the
commissioning of newsprint project, the company was able to help the country to reduce
imports substantially.

The above statements are shows the company current situation in the market as
well as the financial position that are all discussing below:-
Analysis of financial statement shows that the danger of imputing companies

economics significance to accounting numbers. The financial information can be
extracted from by using various methods they are as follows:
1) financial ratio
2) Du point analysis
3) Standardized financial statements
4) applications of financial analysis
5) Going beyond the numbers
Some of the few methods we taking for interpretation of financial position of the
company.
Current ratio = current assets \ current liabilities
2009 it was 2.53:1 but in the year 2010 it shows that 1.37:1 it shows that current assets is
more than current liabilities .
Gross profit margin ratio =gross profit \ net sales
In 2009 it was 3.84:1 but in the year 2010 it shows that 2.28:1 it shows that gross profit
margin may reduced to nearly 3times.
Net profit margin ratio = net profit \ net sales
In 2009 it was 7.53:1 but in the year 2010 it shows that 3.23:1 it shows that company is not
in a financial sound position.
LEARNING EXPERIENCE
In my Ten weeks of project work in Mysore Paper Mill Ltd., I studied and learnt
many things carried in the organization. This project work helped me in gaining more
knowledge about the work and production carried out in the organization.
There is a strict rules followed in HR department and attendance was taken daily
to check the regularity we were used to stay from morning 9.00 AM to evening 5.0 PM
daily and visit different departments daily accordingly to there schedule.
There was a good reaction and co-operation by the superiors and sub-ordinates in
the Mysore Paper Mill Ltd., . They helped me in collection the information regarding the
different departments and production process.
I got the clear picture about the organizational work carried on and how the work
in allotted and how it is carried out and duties and responsibilities of the employees in the
organization. I observed the work techniques that are studied in subject are implemented
in the organization like welfare facility, training techniques etc,.
Finally this project work gave me the clear idea about the working condition in
the organization which will help me in future days.
PART-B
1. INTRODUCTION:
In recent decade’s businessman have shown an increasing awareness of the need

for precision in the field of inventory control.
In the past, inventories were considered as indication of wealth, even inventories

greatly in excess of the amount needed to carry on the process of production and
distribution were considered beneficial.
Since the advent of modern industries, wealth has become more and more
identified with money. An increased emphasis on the liquidity has led businessman to
hold cash and securities in preference to inventories although the later have an inherent
convertibility not possessed by he other categories. These have been made a strong
tendency towards holding the means for purchase of goods rather than the goods
themselves. Large inventories are now viewed with alarm, where as in times no one
would ever have doubted that such were beneficial.
Every enterprises needs inventory for smooth running its activities. It serves as a
link between production and distribution processes. There is generally, a time lag
between the recognization of a need and its fulfillment. The grater the time-leg, the
higher the requirements for inventory. The unforeseen fluctuations in demand and supply
of goods also necessitate for inventories. It also provides a cushion for future price
fluctuations.
The investments in inventories constitute the most significant part of current

assets/working capital in most of the undertakings. Thus, it is very essential to have
proper control and management of inventories. The purpose of inventory control and its
management is to ensure availability of materials in sufficient quantity as and when
required and also to minimize investment in inventories.
1.2 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDEY:
Inventory in general meaning ‘stock of goods, or a list of goods,’ the word

‘Inventory’ is understood difficultly by various authors. In according language it may
mean finished goods only. In a manufacturing concern, it may include raw materials,
work in process and stores, etc. To understand the exact meaning of the word ‘inventory’
we may study it from the usage side or from the ‘side point of entry’ in the operations.
Inventory includes the following things.
1. raw materials
2. work in progress
3. finished goods
4. Consumable stores and spares.
A. RAW MATERIALS:
They are the inputs of the final products. They are purchased by the firm
from others and are used in the production for converting into finished
components. The quantity of raw materials required will be determined by the rate
of consumption and the time required for replenishing the supplies. The factors
like the availability of raw materials and government regulations, etc. too affect
the stock of raw materials.
B. WORK IN PROGRESS:
This refers to the goods lying in the manufacturing process. they are
normally practically finished or semi-finished that are at various stages of production
in a multi-stage production process. The raw materials enter the process of
manufacture but they are yet to attain a final shape of finished goods. The quantum of
work-in-process depends upon the time taken in the manufacturing process. The
grater the time in manufacturing, the more will be the amount of work-in-process.
C. FINISHED GOODS:
These are the final or completed products which are ready for sale. The
stocks of finished goods provide a buffer between production and market. The
purpose of maintaining inventory is to ensure proper supply of goods to customer.
In some concerns the production is undertaken on order basis, in these concerns
there will not be a need for finished goods. The need of finished goods inventory
will be more when production is undertaking in general without waiting for
specific order. Work in production, while stock of finished goods is required for
smooth marketing operation. Thus inventory serve as a link between production
and consumption.
D. CONUMABLE STORES AND SPARES:

These are the goods held for consumption by machines in a manufacturing
concern. They include spare parts, lubricants, cleaning materials, oil, cotton waste
etc. they don’t enter into the final product but they are required for maintaining
and running the machines for production purpose.
The levels of the above four kinds of inventories differ depending upon The
nature of the business. For example-A manufacturing firm will have all the four
kinds of inventories. But a retailer or wholesaler will have a high level of
inventories of finished goods but they will have no inventories of raw materials,
spares, maintenance supplies and stores and goods in progress. Further depending
upon the nature of the business, inventories may be durable or non-durable,
valuable or inexpensive, perishable or non-perishable etc.
Inventory control has been attracting the attention of managers in India for
a long time. But with the credit squeeze measures announced by the government
of India and the consideration of the recommendations of the committee for
inventories top management is deeply a concern with developing suitable norms
for inventory control. In this inventory than the other categories.
1.3 MEANING AND DEFINITION OF INVENTORY:-
The term ‘Inventory’ refers to the stock of raw-materials, spare parts and finished
products held by a business firm. It is the aggregate quantity of material resources and
goods that are idle at a given point of time. The resources may be of any type; for
example men, materials, machinery, money, when resources involved in materials or
goods in any stage of completion, inventory referred to as stock. Hence inventory refers
to the ‘stock’ that a business firm keeps to meet its future requirements of production and
sales.
Several authors have defined the term Inventory. The most popular of them are,
“The term Inventory includes, Raw materials, Work In Progress, finished packaging
spares and other stock in order to meet an unexpected demand or distribution in the
future.”
1.4 ANALYSIS:
Date and information collected are analyzed using statistical tools, graphs and
charts.
2. INTRODUCTION TO COMPANY:

established at Badhravathi. The company produces and supplying of papers such as news
prints. At present the company is meeting the requirement of government departments,
private news print industries and various dealers.
2.1 INVENTORY CONTROL SYSTEM:
Inventories are stock of the product a company is manufacturing for sale and
components that make up the product. The various forms in which inventories exist in a
manufacturing company are raw materials, work in progress, and finished goods. An
inventory control system is to be engineered to achieve the basic purpose for which the
inventories are created. The fundamental objective of a good inventory control system is
to be able to determine, what, when, how much to order, how much to carry in stocks so
as to gain economy in purchasing. An inventory system provides the organizational
provides the organizational structure and the operating policies for maintaining and
controlling goods to be stocked.

In this chapter the whole analysis is divided in to three parts. They are
• To assess the efficiency of inventory management in Mysore paper mills

Limited.
• To evaluate the inventory control techniques of Mysore paper mills limited.
• To analyze the purchase and stores procedures followed by the company.
OBJECTIVE 1
TO ASSESS THE EFFICIENCY OF INVENTORY MANAGEMENT IN MYSORE

PAPER MILLS LTD.
Inventory Management and Control Techniques
The literary meaning of the word “inventory” is stock of goods. Every enterprise needs
inventory for smooth running of its activities. It serves as a link between production and
distribution process. The unforeseen fluctuation in demand and supply of goods also
necessitates the need for inventory. It also provides a cushion for future price
fluctuations.
The purpose of inventory management is to ensure availability of materials in

sufficient quality and quantities as and when required and allow minimizing investment
in inventories. Thus it is very essential to have proper control and management of
inventory.
Activity Ratios or Turnover Ratios at Mysore paper mills ltd..,

Activity ratios are calculated to measure the efficiency with which the resources
of a firm have been employed. These ratios are also called turnover ratios because they
indicate the speed with which assets are being turned over into sales.
Some of the turnover ratios that are used to know the efficiency of inventory
management in Mysore paper mills lit…, are as follows:
Inventory turnover ratio
Inventory conversion period
Raw material turnover ratio
Stores and spares turnover ratio
Work-in-process turnover ratio
Finished goods turnover ratio
Inventory to working capital ratio
Fixed asset turnover ratio
Inventory Turnover Ratio at Mysore Paper Mills Ltd
Inventory turnover ratio measures the velocity of conversion of stock into sales.
Usually, a high inventory turnover velocity indicates efficient management of inventory
because more frequently the stocks are sold; the lesser amount of money is required to
finance the inventory. A low inventory turnover ration indicates an inefficient
management of inventory. A very high turnover of inventory does not necessarily
implies higher profits. The profits may be low due to excessive cost incurred in replacing
stock in small lots, stock-out situations, selling inventories at very low prices etc.,
The different components of inventory are
• Raw materials.
• Work-in-process.
• Store and spares.
• Finished goods.

Fig 4.1 inventory Turnover Ratio
The inventory turnover ratio was 3.43 in 2005 and it is decreased to 2.926 in
2009 because inventory consumed and production high but in the 2010 it is increase to
3.369 it is not good compared to previous year and also cost (cost of goods sold) is high.

2010 365 3.369 108.34
Fig 4.2 inventory conversion period
It may also be of interest to see average time taken for clearing the stocks.
This can be possible by calculating the inventory conversion period. The conversion of
stocks was 106.41 days in 2005 but it is 124.74days in 2009 and it is short period taken to
conversion of stocks compared to previous years that is 108.34days in 2010 and it is good
to organization.
Raw material turn over ratio:
It is the ratio with which we can measure the efficiency with which the firm
converts raw materials in to work in progress. Materials consumed can be found out as
opening balance of raw materials plus purchase minus closing balance of raw materials.

This ratio indicates the relationship between the sales and raw materials.
In the year 2005 it was 4.266 and it is increase to 6.282 in 2007 there is strong
relationship between sales and raw materials but in 2010 it is decrease to 4.146 it shows
decrease the efficiency of the firm.

This ratio indicates the relationship between the sales and stores and
spares. In the year 2005 it was 9.869 and it is increased to 10.948 in the year 2009 and it
is decrease to 8.88 in 2010. so this origination is not using stores and spares properly so
it is effect to production decreases.

This ratio shows the relationship between the sales and stock in process. It
was 373.49 in the 2005 but it is decreased to 298.05 in the year 2009. But in the 2010 it is
increased to 357.78 it is not good to organization because stock in process turn over ratio
is should be decrease and stock in process could be increase so it is better to origination.

This ratio determines the connection between inventories to working capital. It was 1.604
times in 2005 but it is decreased to1.112 times in 2009.but in 2010 it is increased to 2.20
so it is good to organization because the working capital consumption is decreases. (i.e
day to day transaction cost is decrease) so that indicates the organization is good at cost
reduction.

This ratio indicates the extent, which the investment in fixed assets contribution
was 1.97 times in the year 2005. And it has increased to 3.29 in 2009. But in 2010 it is
sudden changes (i.e. decreased) In fixed assets turn over ratio that is 2.76 because of huge
changes in sales so the fixed assets turn over ratio decreased.

OBJECTIVE2
TO EVALUATE THE INVENTORY CONTROL TECHNIQUES OF MYSORE

PAPER MILLS LIMITED.
ABC ANALYSIS
Large number of firms has to maintain several types of inventories. It is not

desirable to keep the same degree of control on all the items. The firm should pay
maximum attention to those items whose value is the highest. The firm should therefore
classify inventories to identify which items should receive the most effort in controlling.
The firm should be selective in its approach to control investment in various types of
inventories.
The high value items are classified as
A-items and would be under the tightest control.

‘B’ items fall into between these 2 categories and require reasonable attention of
management.
‘C’ items represent relatively least value and would be under simple control.
ABC analysis enables to exercise selective control when the materials manager is
confirmed with a large number of items. The significance of this analysis is that it spot
lights attention to be given in respect of the areas like.
• Loss
• Wastage
• Scrap
• Quality
• Price variance
• Usage variance
• Inventory turnover etc.
It also helps to determine safety stocks frequently of ordering preparing of
control statements sources from which material is to be procured etc. hence ABC
analysis is one of the best technique of inventory control.
Advantages of ABC analysis:
• To minimize purchasing cost and carrying cost

• Cost minimization and profit maximization.
• Closer and strict control on these items, which represent a high portion of total
stock value.
• Ensuring availability of suppliers at all times
• Clerical cost can be reduced
• Inventory is maintained at optimum level and there by investment in inventory
can be regulated and will be minimum
• Equal attention to A B and C items are not desirable as it is expensive
• Maintaining enough safety stock for C item
• Interpretation
From the ABC analysis Mysore paper mills limited (here took major group
of row materials for the analysis) it is clear that A class items that is high value
item, constitute for 70.88% of annual inventory consumption and B class items
constitute 22.05% of total annual value and 22.22% of total item this class is
called as middle classed value item. When compared to a class this inventory
required less control and C class item constitute 6.976% of total annual value and
55.58% of total item, this is called low value terms. So the control on this
inventory does not require when compare to the A and B class items.

ECONOMIC ORDERING QUANTITY:
One of the major inventory management problems to be resolved is how much

inventory should be added when inventory is replenished. The EOQ should be applied to
Mysore paper mills ltd for the purpose of many units should be issued for production
department as per production schedule. The will involves the ordering cost and carrying
cost. For analyzing the EOQ techniques company’s 2 years raw materials data should be
taken it should be presented and calculated.
It is the fixed quantity of material which is ordered when the stock comes down to a
reorder level, so that cost of purchasing is equal to cost of storage making the total
inventory cost minimum.
There are various ways of determining the EOQ, such as setting out a tabulation of cost
for various order quantities until the minimum cost is determined or by formula or by
using a graph. The most convenient way is the following formula:
EOQ = √ 2 * Cost of placing an order * Demand for the period
Purchase price per unit * cost of storage as % of total landed cost
The EOQ applied to Mysore paper mills ltd raw materials for 2 years. The
company’s EOW units will be varied in 2 year because of quantities issued to the
production department will be change the year after year. If the consumption rates will
increase the quantities of raw materials should also be increased for the production. The
every item in EOQ techniques presented in table will be used for paper production.
In 2008 the quantity should be minimum units 9503, when compare to year 2009
is units 10032. If the company is ordering as well as carrying cost will also increase every
year and these cost are different for different items in the company.
The ordering and carrying cost will be the main elements for the paper
manufacturing units. If the companies carrying cost will occurred by way of loss due to
pilferages, wastages and breakages in the sores and the ordering cost will occur by way of
transportation of items from one place to another place. Economic Ordering and
Quantity is shown in table 4.11.

VED ANALYSIS:
This classification is usually applied for spare parts to be stocked for maintenance
of machines and equipment based on the criticality of the spare parts. The stocking
policy is based on criticality of the items. The vital spare parts are those which can cause
stoppage of the plant if not available usually such spare parts are known as capital or
insurance spares.
The inventory policy is to keep at least one number of vital spares irrespective of its
value. Also spare parts be supplied by manufacturer are treated as
 Vital spare, the stock of which even for as short time will stop production for
quite same time and where the cost of stock out is very high are known as
vital spares.
 Essential spares, the absence for which cannot be tolerated for more than a
few hours a day and cost of low production is high and which are essential for
the production to continue are known as essential spares.
 Desirable spares, those which are needed but their absence for even a will not
lead to stop spare of production.
Interpretation
From VED analysis Mysore paper mills limited (Here took major group of raw materials
for the analysis) It is clear the ‘V’ class item for vital usage of items. It constitute for
85.7% annual inventory consumption of total items of 40% and E class items that is
essential of usage of materials the total annual usage is 11.9% of total consumption 30%
and this class is called as medium class usage item and D class of usage items this
constitute 2.3% of total usage of item. This shown in Table 4.12.

HML ANALYSIS:
The high, medium and low classification follows the same procedure as if adopted in
ABC classification only difference is that in HML, the classification unit value is a
criteria and not the annual consumption value.
The items are inventory should be listed in the descending order of unit value and it is up
to the management to fix limits for three categories.
HML analysis is useful for keeping control or consumption at departmental levels for
deciding the frequency of the physical verification and for controlling purchase.
Interpretation:
It is clear that H class items that is high value price items, constitute for 60.03% of annual
inventory consumption price, and M class item that is medium level value price that
constitute 31.19% of total annual price and L class items that is low price items constitute
8.78% T this shows in Table 4.14, Table 4.15 respectively.

FINDINGS:
Inventory control system: As per the study, raw material has increase
the efficiency of the inventory and drastically has reduced the
transportation cost.
 The company should take in to account of existing stock level when it changes the
design or when it introduces new model otherwise absolute and non moving
stocks will increase due to frequent changes.
 The employees are very rude behavior and they do not have courtesy to speak
with subordinates and trainees (visitors).
 The Middle class employees are inefficiency and ineffectiveness towards work.
 They do not have proper advanced knowledge to prepare books of accounts.

 The stores should be according to the needs of the company this will provide
effective safe and good storage system.
 The company should adopt latest technology to provide a competitive product

which can control inventory and increase profitability of the company.
RECOMMENDATION:
 There is always a threat from the domestic players and a potential threat from the
MNC is for the MPM so it is desirable to contract effective barriers to reduce
competition.
 The MPM should also concentrate on the diversification so as to ensure expansion
and to utilize the unexploited opportunities.
 As the dealers are not satisfied by the margin offered by the company, it should
increase the margin for the dealers who have been utilized both for selling and
collecting marketing information.
 The company should also target on the high customers who from the customer
base from the MNCs.
 The company should invest on more on R&D to come up with new varieties of
paper in a cost effective manner.
 The company has use various technologically advanced media such as the
internet, mobile, advertising and digital displays to promote its products apart
from the conventional media.
 It should periodically contract its dealers and customer and should review its
performance.
SUGGESTIONS:
As per the study inventory management and its implementation in

Mysore Paper Mill ltd.., it was revealed that management of the inventories play
strong role in the success of the organization.
 Implementation of better and new information system entrepreneur resource
planning, software packages, as discussed will cater to the additional information
requirements of the company which in turn will improve the efficiency of
management of inventory control system.
 For making ABC analysis usually companies consider value and consumption. In
Mysore Paper Mill Ltd.., they also consider the value and consumption of the raw
materials. This is one of the best evaluation of ABC analysis in which the
company has developed.
 The store should be moderate according to the needs of the company. This will
provide effective, safe and good storage system.
 The company is making open order for the whole year to the supplier and the
plants according to monthly schedule produce the inventories.
 The company should follow the first in first in first out method in issuing the
materials to the production department.
 These materials issuing practices are doing well and have more contribution
towards effective material management. It helps a lot in achieving effective
inventory control over the materials in the company.
 The Company which is give more concentrate on employees benefit for the
current year (i.e. the employees benefit which increased compared to previous
year) that has to be reduce.
 The company which gives more cash discount on sales so this is not good for
organization.
 Employers do not use any set of safety helmets and also. So it makes
compulsory use of safety helmets while doing the work which helps to the
efficiency and health of employees.
 The company can consider by producing the other varieties of paper like cards,
drawing paper etc.
 Excessive labor in certain department they should try to remove the labor.
CONCLUSION:
The control of inventories is complex of many fluctuation and forms.

Inventory are the results of all fluctuation areas (i.e. production, marketing, purchasing.)
with in the organization. The control of inventories represents a shared responsibility and
viewed as such. Any set of roles used for inventory controls in revalued regularly in
Mysore paper mills ltd..,
In Mysore paper mills ltd.., the purchase and stores department are handling
inventory inefficiently in the organization due to the problem of inadequate technology
and inexperienced employees. They are maintaining ancient method of books of accounts
and it carried high cost and there is no proper utilization of funds. The major factor which
is effect the whole organization that is conflict (agency cost) which is high.
The MPM ltd…, which is run good at production, apart from that the other over
heads (i.e. factory, office and administration, and selling and distribution expenses.) are
high. So the company should reduce the cost which helps to improve the organization.
It is government undertaking. It is running in loss. Due to the above condition. I

wish this company a grand success in the years to come.
