Two types of costs are involved in the maintenance: 1. Ordering costs: requisition, placing of order, transportation, receving,
inspecting and storing clerical and staff services. Ordering costs are fixed per order. Therfore, they decline as the order size increases. 2. Carrying costs: warehousing, handling, clerical and staff services,
insurance and taxes. Carrying costs vary with inventory holding. As order size increases, average inventory holding increases and therefore, the carrying costs increases. The firm should minimize the total cost (ordering plus carrying). The economic order quantity (EOQ) of inventory will occur at point where the total cost is minimum.
The following formula can be used to determine EOQ:
EOQ=Q*
Where A is the annual requirement, O is the per order cost, and c is the per unit carrying cost When should the firm place an order to replenish inventory? The inventory level at which the firm places order to replenish inventory is called the reorder point. It depends on a) The lead time b) The usage rate
Under perfect certainity about the usage rate, and instaneous delivery (i.e. zero lead time), the reorder point will be equal to: lead time x usage rate.
In
practice, there is uncertainty about the lead time and usage rate. Under perfect certainty about the usage rate. Therefore, firms maintain safety Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com

“A STUDY ON INVENTORY MANAGEMENT WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO FLOWSERVE MICRO FINISH PVT LTD” stock which serves as a buffer to meet contingencies. In that case, the reorder point will be equal to lead timexusagerate+safety stock. The firm should strike a trade-off between the marginal rate of return and marginal cost of funds to determine the level of safety stock. A firm, which carries a number of items in inventory which differ in value, can follow a selective control system. A selective control system, such as the A-B-C analysis, classifies inventories in three categories according to the value of the items. B-category consists of high value items and C-category consist of lowest value items. More categories of inventories can also created. Tight control may be applied for highvalue items and relatively loose control for low-value items.
The following are the advantages of available from the efficient inventory management; •
Reduction in investment in inventories.
•
Proper and efficient use of raw materials.
•
Ensuring continuous production and maximum sales.

INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
PHYSICAL INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
FINANCIAL INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
Inventory Management is consisting of 2 hands. The first hand as shown in the diagram is that Physical Inventory Management, Second one is Financial Inventory Management. The reason behind of dividing these views is: to gather the information very easily and for easy to understanding of each view thoroughly. Let us see the Meanings of each view one by one.
Physical Inventory Management Meaning: “Keeping of goods is also a type of management. Whenever requirements comes from the production department, providing of those required materials in a proper manner & providing those at the specified
period,
is
the
main
motto
of
Physical

Management.” Benefits for Holding Inventory:

Benefits in Sales. Inventory, as a current asset, differs from the other current assets because only financial managers are not involved. Rather, all the functional areas, finance, Marketing, Product & Purchasing are involved. The job of the financial manager is to reconcile the conflicting viewpoints of the various functional areas regarding the appropriate inventory levels in order to fulfill the overall objective of maximizing of owner’s wealth.
Two-Bin System: Under this system, the inventory items are grouped into two categories. In one group or bin, sufficient quantity is kept to meet the current requirements over a designated period of item. In another group or bin, a safety stock is maintained to meet the requirements of inventory at times when the stock in the first bin is exhausted and re-ordering occurs.
An effective inventory management should: •
Ensure a continuous supply of raw materials to facilitate uninterrupted production.
•
Maintain sufficient finished goods inventory for smooth sales
operation
and efficient customer services. •
Minimize the carrying cost and time.
•
Control investment in investment in inventories and keep it at an optimum level.
•
It permits a better utilization of available stocks by facilitating interdepartmental transfers with in a company.
•
Maintain sufficient stocks of raw materials in periods of
short supply and
anticipated price changes. Benefits of inventory management and control: Proper management and control of inventories will result in the following benefits to an organization. Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com

Inference: From the above calculations it can be inferred that inventory to current ratio of the company increasing & decreasing in these years. it is because of decrease in the inventory level so it shows firm wants to increase its sales. It is not satisfactory because the ratio the reason is there is less increase in inventory, so the company may improve this ratio by increasing the inventories.
Inventory to total assets. Meaning: Inventory to total assets indicates the relationship between the inventory and total assets. The significance of this ratio is it reflects the portion of the inventory as a percentage of total assets, which helps the management in deciding the utilization of remaining resources profitably. Since the inventory will lock up the huge funds and reduces the profitability of the organization. Inventory to Total Assets =

The study reveals that the unit has controlled the materials in an effective way, by concentrating on ‘A’ group items through ABC Analysis. This unit was able to minimize the cost and maintain the stock turnover rate at the comparatively higher level through scientific inventory control technique.

•
The material cost ratio is satisfactory
•
Re-order Level, Lead-time, Safety Stock etc are considered before placing order

SUGGESTIONS •
The unit should take effective measure to control and manage the investment made in inventories. The reduction in investment reduces the working capital requirement and reduces the cost of capital.
•
Regular cross check of stores should be made by outside agency so that there is no scope for discrepancy
•
The company should use bar-coding for tracking the finished goods inventory position at store which gives exact information and less chances of discrepancy. It also saves time in physical counting and noting the number every time the materials are issued.

CONCLUSION: From the study it can be concluded that the Flowservre MicroFinish method of Inventoty management system i.e, ABC Analysis is suited for the company. There is decrease in Inventory Turnover Ratio in present year compare to previous year so it has to maintain good Inventory Turnover. The liquidity of the company is not high due to the inventories because conversion of inventory into cash takes time so it is better to reduce the inventories in hand. In working capital blocking of inventory is reduced so it is done in a proper way.
