What is inventory ?
Inventory- Introduction
Inventory refers to the stock of materials of any kind
stored for future use, mainly in the production
process.
Semi-finished goods, which are awaiting use in the
next process, or finished goods, which are waiting
for sale, are also included in this broad category.
But these are practically idle resources.
Thus inventories are materials / resources of any
kind having some economic value, either awaiting
conversion or use in future.

Storage Costs.
Inventory holding costs may be divided into storage space costs
and material handling costs.
Inventory can be placed in four potential types of facilities:
company storages, public storages, rented storages, and
inventory in shipping areas.
Storage space costs include public, plant, rented, and company owned
warehouses

Back-order costs.
- Customer shall wait for his order to be filled so that sale is not lost but
only delayed.Cost is measurable and tangible.
- Eg: Non-availability of raw material.
Incremental cost
The final cost factor involved in making inventory decisions is incremental
cost
Incremental costs arise due to any change in the actual cost, actual
expenditure or profit that occurs as a result of an inventory management
decision.
For example, if the increase in total inventory unit volume causes increase
in the relevant costs from Rs.120,000 to Rs.150,000, then the incremental
cost of the decision to stock more units is Rs.30,000.
Paying for overtime, hiring and training cost for more employees,
temporary help and obtaining additional computer terminals due to an
increase in the order volume are included in the incremental costs.

Additional safety stock is held to cover any delivery delays from suppliers.
4. Buying costs
There is an administrative cost associated with raising an order, and to
minimize this cost it is necessary to hold additional inventory. It is
essential to balance these elements of administration and stock-holding,
and for this the economic order quantity (EOQ) is used.

10. To minimize production delays caused
by lack of spare parts
This is important not just for regular maintenance, but especially
for breakdown of expensive plant and machinery. Thus spares are
held to minimize plant shutdowns.
Types of Inventory
Inventory in Pipeline (in transit) - inventory in transit between
echelons of the supply channel.
Types of Inventory
Inventory for hedging against the variability and uncertainty in
demand - this extra measure of inventory or safety stock, is in addition
to the regular stock that is needed to met average demand and average
lead-time conditions.
Inventory of perishable in nature or of risk of obsoleteness where the products are of high value, perishable or easily stolen, special
precautions must be taken to minimize the amount of such stock

Paretos Law states that a few items of high usage having high
investment value should be paid more attention than items
having low usage value.
Popularly known as the "80/20" rule ABC concept is applied to
inventory management as a rule-of-thumb.
It says that about 80% of the Rupee value, consumption wise,
of an inventory remains in about 20% of the items.
For Example ;
A store has 2000 items of consumption and a
montly consumption of Rs.10,00,000.
According above report,
The ABC concept is derived from the Pareto's 80/20 rule curve.
It is also known as the 80-20 concept.
Here, Rupee / Dollar value of each individual inventory item is
calculated on annual consumption basis.
ABC Classification
Class A - High value items
10 - 20 % of units
70 - 80 % of value
ABC analysis is the widely used approach for classifying the inventories on
the basis of cost and use.
This is a type of pareto analysis and sometimes also referred to as Always
Better Control approach.
A-Type Inventory:
These are high value, low volume type of inventories.
This means that their annual consumption is very less but these are very
costly items.
Despite needed less in volume, their annual monetary value is quite high,
as these are very costly items.
ABC-analysis recommends careful control of A-Type inventory. More
periodic review is needed.
Involvement of higher level of management is recommended in the review
process.
A small reduction in the safety stock will cause substantial saving for the
organizations.

B-Type Inventory:
Items other than A and C type constitute 20-30% in terms of percentage of items
and 10 to 20% in terms of their annual consumption value.
These are termed as B-type inventories.
Their control and supervision are moderate as compared to A or C type
inventories.
Order for these items must be placed less frequently
C-Type Inventory:
Majority of the items (say 60-70%) constitute only a minor fraction of the total
annual monetary consumption (say 5 to 10%) in inventories. These items are CType items.
The control needed for these items may not be very stringent. Bulk-purchase
decisions may be useful as the item cost is less.
Therefore, lesser number of orders may be placed.
These items may be under the supervision of lower level of management and
only exceptional reports or monthly reports are needed by top management.
Steps involved:
1. Collect previous year consumption and unit price for each item
2. Multiply the consumption and unit price for each item to get
the consumption value
3. Rank the items corresponding to the consumption value
4. Calculate cumulative consumption value against each item
5. Find the percentage of cumulative consumption value.
6. Find the % of high,medium and low valued items in terms of
total value of items.
7. A graph can be plotted between % of items on X axis and % of
total value of item on Y axis.

VED Analysis
VED analysis represents classification of items based on
criticality.
The analysis classifies the items into 3 groups:
Vital, Essential and Desirable
Vital category encompasses those items which, if not made
available, being the production to a halt, causing heavy losses.
Spares stock out costs cause major disruptions to many work
stations.

SDE Classification
S D E analysis is employed by the purchase department:
The SDE analysis is based upon the availability of items and is very
useful in the context of scarcity of supply.
In this analysis, S refers to scarce items, generally imported,
and those which are in short supply.
D refers to difficult items which are available indigenously but
are difficult items to procure.
Items which have to come from distant places or for which
reliable suppliers are difficult to come by fall into D category.
E refers to items which are easy to acquire and which are
available in the local markets.

F-S-N Analysis:
Criterion employed: Rate of consumption of items in
terms of rate of their issue from stores.
In F-S-N analysis, items are classified according to
their rate of consumption.
The items are classified broadly into three groups:
F means Fast moving, S means Slow moving,
N means Non-moving.
F-S-N Analysis:
FSN analysis helps a company in identification of the
following:
a) The items to be considered to be active may
be reviewed regularly on more frequent basis.
b) Items whose stocks at hand are higher as
compared to their rates of consumption.
c) Non-moving items whose consumption is nil
or almost in significant.
F-S-N Analysis:
The FSN analysis is conducted generally on the
following basis:
The last date of receipt of the items or the last date
of the issue of items, whichever is later, is taken into
account.
The time period is usually calculated in terms of
months or number of days and it pertains to the time
elapsed seems the last movement was recorded.

2. High quality
Raw materials must be of guaranteed quality
Whole production process must focus on quality
There are no/minimal buffer stocks should a batch of raw materials from a
particular supplier prove faulty, or if they are damaged during the
production process.

BINCARD
STORES
LEDGER
Bincard:
Bin means a place, rack or that place where materials are
stored.
A bincard is usually kept in bin. It provides quantitative record
of reciepts, issues & balances of stock.
It is maintained by store keeper.
Stores ledger:
This ledger is kept in costing dept.
This ledger provides the information for pricing if materials
issued and the money value at any time of each item of
stores.
