It is selective approach popularly known Always (A) Better (B)
Control (C). The ABC goes by its name it always the best, then
better and lastly the good.
Majority of the activity (70 to 80%) is governed by very few (10 to
20) attributes.
15 to 20% of total consumption is represented by another 15 to 20%
items that may be classified as B category
Remaining 5 to 10% consumption is represented by a large no. of
small consumption value items, which may be classified as C
category.
30. Stock physical verification in GSK
For A category items is carried out every six months;
For Bcategory items every year and
Once in two years for C category items.
31. Different criterias for recategorisationfor ABC analysis

BRs,1250 and above Rs,15000 and above
But less then 7000 But less then70000

33. Requirement for recategorization process
General inventory items.
Their unit value.
There annual consumption
For calculating the unit value any of the following is
required
Closing value/Opening value/Consumption valueClosing Qty./ Opening
Qty. /consumption Qty.
34. PREPARATION OF PROPOSALS
For preparing the proposals under the different conditions
following steps have been taken: -
Firstly check that according to the unit value in which category
the item is falling.
See that according to the consumption value which category is best
suited to the item.
Then out of the two put the items in the upper category.
35. For example:
According to Unit value it should fall in C category but according
to Consumption value it should fall in B category.
Therefore, it will fall in B category.
According to Unit value it should fall in A category but according
to Consumption value it should fall in B category.Therefore, it
will fall in A category.
36. Existing Criteria: per unit value 7000 and consumption value
70000
According to No. of items
According to consumption value:
37. Proposed criteria: per unit value Rs.10000 and consumption
value Rs.100000
According to No. of items
According to consumption value:
38. Comparison between existing and proposed criteria
Comparison of items
Comparison of consumption value
39. FSN Classification
This classification is done on the basis of consumption pattern of
the items under analysis.
Fast moving:-Items being issued more than 15 times a year may be
placed in F category.
Slow moving:-Items up to a certain limit say 10-15 issues in a year
may be classified as S items.
Non-moving:-If there is no issues of a particular item during the
past few years, naturally they will be classified as Zero issue
items

criteria :-
Fast moving :-The items which are very frequently moved in one year
are included in the fast moving category .

42. LEVEL SETTING
Re-order Level:
Maximum Consumption *Maximum re-order period
Minimum Level:
Re-ordering Level - (Normal Consumption * Normal Re-order
Period)
Maximum Level:
Reordering level + Minimum Re-ordering Quantity - (Minimum
Consumption * Minimum Re-ordering Level period)
43. Cont..
Danger Level:
(Average Consumption) * (Maximum re-order period for emergency
purchases)
Average Stock Level:
Average stock Level = Minimum stock level + of re-order
quantity
44. Requirements to set these levels at GSK
First of all consumption of the items by different department or
according to production pattern.
On the basis of lead-time involved on purchase of items.
While fixing minimum stock level employees of purchase department
in GSK are consider following factors:
Consumption pattern
Seasonality of raw material
Rejection rate in past
Lead time / manufacturing time
Source of material (import or Indian)
Testing time, replenishment time, fumigation time
Vendor response.
45. ECONOMIC ORDER QUANTITY
The quantity to be ordered should be such which minimise the
carrying and ordering cost.If the price to be paid is stable, the
quantity to be ordered each time can be ascertained by the
following formula:-
Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) = 2AO/C
Where,
A = Annual Consumption Quantity
O = Cost of placing one order (ordering cost)
C = Annual inventory carrying cost or holding cost
46. The total cost of material usually consist of:-
Total acquisition cost (Purchase Value) + Total carrying cost
(Holding Cost) + Total ordering cost
Acquisition Cost
Holding cost
IN GSK THE RESONABLE ASSESSMENT OF INVENTORY CARRYING COSTS IS
ESTIMATED TO 15% PER YEAR OF THE AVERAGE INVENTORY HOLDING
Ordering costs-
IN GSK ORDERING COST PER ORDER COMPUTED IS APPROXIMATELY Rs. 25 PER
ORDER.
47. Proposal:
STUDY AND ANALYSIS OF THE INVENTORY OF GSK AS PER THE EOQ MODEL TO
KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TOTALINVENTORY COSTTO THE
ORGANIZATION IN COMPARISON TO THEIR ACTUAL (ROQ METHOD) AND TOTAL
SAVINGS, IF ANY, CAN BE MADE FROM THE THREE DIFFERENT.
48. FINDINGS OF THE PROPOSAL
BENEFITS
IF THE ORGANIZATION STARTS PLACING THEIR PURCHASE ORDERS AS PER THE
EOQ METHOD THEY CAN SAVE SOME AMOUNT OF MONEY FROM THEIR ACTUAL
TOTAL INVENTORY COSTS, AS THIS CAN HELP THEM IN SAVING THEIR
WORKING CAPITAL ALSO
49. FINDINGS:
Many items are there in the stores, which although lying in general
stores but dont have any category in spite of having consumption
value.
Some items have no consumption value but their minimum quantity is
more than twice.
Some modern techniques of inventory management likeVED can help in
reducing investment in inventory, is absent.
Items, which are written off in the books, are lying in the stores
and in any year if again their need arises they are written back in
the books.
Capital related spares are placed under D99 category. These are
those spares the asset value of which becomes zero but their spares
have value.
50. SUGGESTIONS:
All the general store inventory items should be recategorized
especially those, which have the consumption value during the
year.
Company should have to go for some other controlling techniques
like VED
The items, which dont fall under any category, should be treated
separately.
The company must treat ROQ & EOQ separately on their individual
effects on the inventory costs.
