    In short, KRIBHCO handles its all functions efficiently and effectively. It operates

    its effective level by performing the sequence of operations, and acquires the maximum

    profits among leading manufacturers of fertilizers- urea.

    Introduction to FertilizerIndustry

    Before introducing organization Kribhco (A fertilizer producing unit) I feel necessary

    to give an overview of the Indian fertilizer industry.

    India lives in villages, said Mahatma

    Gandhi decades ago. It is true even today.

    Like every developing economy, the

    economy of India is also agro-based.

    Agriculture accounts for nearly 1/4th of

    India's GDP and more importantly, about

    2/3rd of the country's population is

    dependent on agriculture and allied

    activities for their livelihood. As per

    statistics nearly 175 lakh MT of fertilizer nutrients are required every year in this country.

    The demand of fertilizers was so high that India had to import almost 30% of its requirement

    from other countries. Therefore, to achieve the economic growth, agriculture base of the

    country must be strengthened. To attain this objective, agriculture practices have to be

    improved from their traditional pattern to a higher technological track involving better

    irrigation and use of better quality seeds, fertilizers, insecticides & pesticides. Therefore,

    chemical fertilizers are key player in this process and fertilizer industries plays quite a major

    role in increasing food production in the country and also helps to modernize the out look of

    the common farmers and make them innovative and respective to the new technology change.

    6

  • 8/3/2019 Project Vishal Finaviya Inventory Mgnt.

    7/44

    A fertilizer is any material, organic, inorganic, natural or synthetic, that is placed on

    or incorporated into the soil to supply plants with one or more of the chemicals elements

    necessary for normal growth. Fertilizer is the material, which supplies the chemicals elements

    required for plant growth. Primary nutrients like nitrogen, phosphates and potassium

    (required for fertilizer land) are supplied through chemical fertilizer. Fertilizer response

    studies have proved that one kg. Of fertilizer nutrient application can the food grain

    production by 8-10 kg.

    A condition of Indian farmers Government of India framed fertilizer policy in 1977

    based on Maratha committee report. The purpose behind introducing this policy was to

    supply fertilizer to resource poor at a price they could afford, so as to increase the

    consumption of fertilizer, to increase food production, and ensure fair return to fertilizer

    producers.

    With this twin objective, Retention Price Scheme (RPS) for fertilizers came into

    picture. In this scheme government has brought the fertilizer under the preview of Essential

    Commodities Act (ECA) in which the retail price of fertilizer to the farmer is notified by the

    Government of India from time to time. This retail price to the farmer is uniform throughout

    the country and is subject to local taxes applicable under the respective States.

    Further under ECA, the government also operates a system of distribution control in

    which the manufacturers including the handling agents for the imported fertilizers are

    directed to sell specified quantities of fertilizers in given states/union territories. While doing

    so, the logistics of fertilizer distribution including storage, transportation, handling etc. are

    also suitably regulated conforming to overall supply plans of the government to meet the

    requirement in all the parts of the Country.

    Now manufacturers also should get reasonable rate of return as all incentive for

    producing fertilizers. Manufacturers should get at least that much, which call enable them to

    remain in the industry.

    Government of India fixes the price of fertilizers in such a way that manufacturer's

    cost of production including cost of marketing is covered and the manufacturer gets a 12%

    post tax return on net worth of the unit at a pre-defined capacity utilization. Norms are fixed

    for consumption of raw material, utilities, services, capacity utilization, depreciation etc. The

    price so fixed is called Retention Price (RP). This price is reviewed every three years.

    8/44

    In a nutshell fertilizers can not be sold in open markets and producing unit has almost

    nil say in fixing fertilizer price. Then how to increase profits? By operating plant efficiently

    only.

    The work of administering the Retention Price Scheme (RPS) is entrusted to Fertilizer

    Industry Co-ordination Committee (FICC) which works under the control of department of

    chemicals and fertilizers.

    Growth of Fertilizer Industry

    One of the most significant achievement of the post Independence

    period of our Country has been the ability to achieve self-sufficiency in food

    grain production. This achievement is due to the rapid growth andimprovement of Fertilizer industry. The Fertilizer industry is growing at the

    rate of 4% for the last 10 years and has been contributing a significant part of G.D.P. ahead

    The growth and importance of Fertilizer industry in India can be divided in to three

    distinct phases, these are given below.

    1. Pro Green Revolution Period:

    This period is described in 1952-1953 era where increased growth of food grains took

    place however this increased production in food grains took place due to increased irrigation

    methods. In this phase the land under agriculture was made more, during this period about

    80% of the country's population was involved in Agriculture either directly or indirectly.

    During this period the fertilizer's which were manufactured were Super Phosphate &

    Ammonium Sulphate. Irrigation was thought to be heart of Agriculture.

    2. Green Revolution Period:During this phase Government stated the Programme aimed at making our country

    self sufficient in Food Products. This was the period between the years 1959-1960. This plan

    laid the emphasis on production of High Yielding Varieties. To make this plan a success there

    was a high need to make soil fertile by providing it with nutrients like Phosphorus, Nitrogen

    and Potassium.

    8

  • 8/3/2019 Project Vishal Finaviya Inventory Mgnt.

    9/44

    During this phase Fertilizer industry tried to play a vital role, became one of the most

    important, and inherits part of our economy.

    3. The Post Green Revolution Period:The world's population along with Indian population has kept on growing at a

    alarming rate, the fertilizer companies all over India are trying to expand their scale of

    operations in order to increase the production rate. The demand for fertilizers per year is

    increasing. The current demand of fertilizers in India is 18 million tones.

    - According to Fertilizer Association of India.

    Global Scenario of Fertilizer Industry

    The United Nations projection indicate the world population has been increasing at

    very fast rate while the nature resource such as land remain the same so, to recover increasing

    demand for the food grain the productivity of the crop can be increased by using fertilizer.

    Today 35% of the world fertilizer/production from developing countries. But their

    consumptions being 50% of the total global fertilizer consumptions; the developing

    countries are the net importer of the fertilizers. This is natural because they are essential agro

    based economics. While Canada and U.S.A. are top exporters of fertilizer in the developing

    countries. India and china are also develop/ping their scenario in the world market.

    Fertilizer Industry Scenario in India

    In India, First of all in 1906, A Single Super Phosphate (SSP) manufacturing unit was

    set up at Ranipat near Chennai (Madras) with annual capacity of 6000 tones per annum.

    By fiscal year 1995, the fertilizer consumption in India touched 13.56 million tons. In

    the same year, the total supply was 10.43 Million tons. With that become the third largest

    producer after U.S.A. and china. To bridge the demand and supply gap India has to import

    necessary fertilizer.

    INTRO OF KRIBHKO

    Krishak Bharati Co-operative Limited (KRIBHCO), a premier Co-operative Society for

    manufacture of fertilizer, registered under Multi-State Cooperative Societies Act 1985,

    was promoted by the Govt. of India, IFFCO, NCDC and other agricultural cooperative

    societies spread all over the country. Oil & Gas findings in Bombay High and South

    Basin triggered off the birth of eight new generations fertilizer plants to fulfill ever-

    growing food needs of the country. KRIBHCO was amongst the first two Projects in the

    first phase.

    KRIBHCO has setup a Fertilizer Complex to manufacture Urea, Ammonia & Bio-

    fertilizers at Hazira in the State of Gujarat, on the bank of river Tapti, near Kawas village,

    15 Km from Surat city and 20 Km from Surat Railway Station on Surat Hazira State

    Highway.

    Late Smt. Indira

    Gandhi, former Prime

    Minister of India laid the

    Foundation Stone on

    February 5, 1982.

    The trial production

    of Urea commenced from

    November 26, 1985 and

    within a very short time of 3

    months, the commercial

    production commenced from March 01, 1986. Since then, it has excelled in performance

    in all areas of its operations.

    The total Project cost was Rs. 890 crores as against the estimated cost of Rs. 957

    crores. This shows a saving of Rs. 67 crores (approximately 7%) in Capital Cost of the

    Project, which is a rare feature in the history of a Public Sector Unit.

    Subsequently, a Bio-fertilizer plant of 100 MT per year capacity was

    commissioned at Hazira on August 15, 1995. KRIBHCO has also completed the

    28/44

    Management of KRIBHCO, Hazira plant is committed to operate and maintain its

    fertilizer-manufacturing complex through quality assurance, environment protection and

    to the satisfaction of customers.KRIBHCO; Hazira plant shall achieve this quality policy

    through following objectives:

    1. Continually upgrading technology to improve plant efficiency & reliability.

    2. Maintaining & improving the safety & environmental performance.

    3. Improving the skills & knowledge of personnel.

    4. Continuously improving the quality Management system.

    OBJECTIVE OF INVENTORY MANAGEMENT:-

    28

  • 8/3/2019 Project Vishal Finaviya Inventory Mgnt.

    29/44

    The basic responsibility of the financial is to make sure the firms cash flows are

    managed efficiently. Efficient management of inventory should ultimately result in the

    maximization of the owners wealth. It was indicated that in order to minimize cash

    requirements, inventory should be turned over as quickly as possible, avoiding stock-outs that

    might result in closing down the production line or lead to a loss of sales.

    The main objective of inventory management consists of two parts:

    1. To minimize investment in inventory

    2. To meet demand for the product by efficiently organizing the production and sales

    operations.

    The firm should minimize investment in inventory implies that maintaining inventoryinvolves costs, such that the smaller the inventory, the lower is the cost to the firm. But

    inventory also provide benefits to the extent that facilitate the smooth functioning of the

    firms.

    Need to hold Inventory:-

    Business firm keep inventory for different purpose. Every firm, big of small, trading

    of manufacturing has to maintain some minimum level of inventories.

    Transaction motive:-

    Every firm has to maintain some level of inventories to meet the day to day

    requirement of sales, production process, customer demand etc. the inventory level will

    provide a smoothness to the operation of the firm.

    Precautionary motive:-

    A firm should keep some inventory for unforeseen circumstances also. For example,

    supply of raw material may not reach due to strike by the transporters.

    Speculative motive:-

    The firm may be tempted to keep some inventory in order to capitalize an opportunity

    to make profit

    29

  • 8/3/2019 Project Vishal Finaviya Inventory Mgnt.

    30/44

    Types of Inventory:-

    1. Raw Material Inventory:-

    These are goods which have not yet been committed to production in a manufacturing

    firm. They may consist of basic raw material.

    1) Work-In-Process:-

    This includes those materials which have been committed to production process but

    have not yet been completed.

    2) Finished goods:-

    These are completed products awaiting sale. They are the final output of theproduction process in manufacturing firms.

    3) Supplies:-

    A fourth kind of inventory, Supplies or what is called consumable -stores are also

    maintained by the firms. These materials are of low value & they do not enter the production

    process, for example oil, fuel, bulbs, soaps etc.

    4) Scrap:-The waste of materials arising during manufacturing process is also a part of the

    inventory. Even defective pieces to be disposed off are a part of in inventory.

    COSTS OF HOLDING INVENTORY:-

    The costs associated with inventory fall into two basic categories:

    (A) Ordering costs or set-up costs

    (B) Carrying costs.

    (A) Ordering Costs or Set-up Cost: -

    This category of costs is associated with the acquisition or ordering of inventory.

    Firms have to place orders with supplier to replenish inventory of raw materials. The

    expenses involved are referred to as ordering cost. Ordering costs involved are referred to as

    30

  • 8/3/2019 Project Vishal Finaviya Inventory Mgnt.

    31/44

    ordering cost. Ordering costs involved in (1) preparing a purchased order or requisition form

    and (2) receiving. Inspecting and recording the goods received to ensure both quantity and

    quality. The cost of acquiring materials of clerical costs and cost of stationary. It is therefore,

    called as set-up-cost. They are generally fixed per order placed, irrespective of the amount of

    the order. The larger the order placed, or the more frequent the acquisition of inventory made,

    the higher are the costs. From a different perspective, the larger the inventory, the fewer are

    the acquisitions and the smaller the order costs.

    (B) Carrying costs or Set-up Cost:-

    The second broad category of cost associated with inventory is the carrying cost. They

    are involved in maintaining or carrying inventory. The cost of holding inventory may be

    divided into two categories:

    a) Those that arise due to storing of inventory:-

    The main components of this category of carrying costs are (1) storing cost, that is tax

    depreciation, insurance, and maintenances of the building. (2) Insurance of inventory against

    fire and theft. (3) Deterioration in inventory because of pilferage, fire and price decline (4)

    Serving costs, such as, labor for handling inventory, clerical and accounting costs.

    b) The opportunity cost of funds:-

    This consists of expenses in raising funds to finance the acquisition of inventory. If

    funds were not locked up in inventory, they would have earned a return. This is the

    opportunity cost of funds or the financial cost component of the cost.

    The sum of the order and carrying cost represent the total cost of inventory. This is

    compared with the benefits arising out of inventory to determine the optimum level of

    inventory.

    INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

    IN KRIBHCO

    INTRODUCTION:

    A study in KRIBHCO was carried out taking into consideration the concept of total

    material control, which significant that efficiency of any organization is contingent upon

    having the right material of right quality or right place in the right quantity at the right time

    and place.

    To study the Inventory Management the several of interview techniques depending on

    the situations were followed. Discussions were carried out with various personnel of the

    company to study the following 3 broad areas.

    1. PURCHASE CONTROL

    2. STORAGE CONTROL

    3. WAREHOUSE ACCOUNTING

    To study the above a relationship and link was sought between theory and

    practice. An evaluation was done to each stage and suggestions were also made to

    improve the existing Inventory control system.

    1) PURCHASE CONTROL

    Purchasing is one of the basic functions of Inventory Management and forms a

    major part of it. What to buy, when to buy, where it buy, how much to buy, how much

    to pay and how much to stock are the fundamental of the Inventory control. It also

    involves creative functions such as development of new resources, introducing new

    materials and sources in the undertaking etc. It needs considerable expertise not only

    negotiating but also in the techniques of competition and studying of economic trends

    in respect of materials to be purchased in large quantity. Every rupee saved by the

    good purchasing goes directly in to the profit for the simple reason is that it is not

    spent at all.

    EVALUATION OF EXISTING PURCHASE SYSTEM OF KRIBHCO:

    The existing purchase procedure gives fair chances of competition to all the vendors.

    It leaves no room for malpractices or favouritism of employees i.e. nobody oblige any one out

    of way. It is not very rigid. In time of urgency of requirement, necessary deviations are

    approved by competent authority so as to avoid stoppage of work. The procedure is based on

    democratic way of working. Good suggestions to improve efficiency are always considered.

    Various annual rate contract running contracts are entered for regular consumable items, like

    oil and lubricants, stationery, chemicals, medicines, printing job etc. This is reducing the

    repetitive job times and money of company.

    But there are shortcomings also, which are evaluated taking into consideration the five

    essentials of purchase functions are as follows:

    (1) Purchase time,

    (2) Purchase quantity,

    (3) Purchase quality,

    39

    40/44

    (4) Purchase price and

    (5) Source of supply

    1. PURCHASE TIME

    The purchase time indicates the lead-time i.e. time taken to physically receive the

    material from the date of its indent.

    To find out the lead time five cases different items have been studied randomly, and

    analyzed its fact which indicates that by following the existing procedure, the administrative

    lead time is very long i.e. 5 to 7 months, while suppliers lead time is about 2 to 3 months.

    2. PURCHASE QUANTITY AND QUALITY:

    It has been observed that the quantity of material is being purchased considering 6 to

    12 months consumption that means no economic order quantity has been fixed for different

    types of material. Due to the existing system:

    Company is incurring cost of carrying Inventory interest of capital rent etc. Company as also incurring loses due to the depreciation in quantity, detoriation in quality

    and obsolesce of materials during storage.

    Company is also incurring avoidable expenditure such as holding and up keep of surplus

    material, financial losses due to fall in the price of materials, extra expenditure on excess

    of materials required.

    It is suggested that before taking final decision economic order quantity should be

    determined for each item and order should be placed accordingly.

    The determination of economic order quantity techniques has been discussed on

    succeeding pages.

    3. PURCHASE PRICE

    The price of each item is being compared with suppliers quotations considering the

    quality of material to be supplied.

    40

    Although, purchase department should keep itself informed of the price trends, with

    the help of market reports, trade papers and journals, report by purchase against and sales

    representative of the suppliers, published catalogue and price list.

    4. SOURCE OF SUPPLY

    The selection of a particular supplier is made after inviting tenders from possible

    source of supply. There are four types of tenders commonly used, which are

    (a) Single tender,

    (b) Limited tender,

    (c) Open tender and

    (d) Global tender

    The tender received are opened on the date and time stipulated and compared to

    select a final vendors, considering quality, delivery after sales services etc. which

    indicates that right source is selected, only thing taken in to consideration is to maintain

    cordial relations with suppliers.

    2) STORAGE CONTROL

    The control of materials while in storage is affected through what is known as the

    perpetual Inventory. Thus two main functions of the perpetual Inventory system have been

    studied which are:

    (i) Receipt and issue system, and

    (ii) Maintenance of store records.

    And also the uses of Inventory control techniques have been evaluated considering

    existing position of KRIBHCO.

    the stores. This provides information on the date of dispatch, carrier details, description
