Materials management flashcard

[pic] INTRODUCTION Materials are an important determinant of the total cost of production, as it constitutes around 50% to 60% of total cost. Materials as our input in production system are receiving attention of the industrialists from 1900 onwards. Since the beginning of 20th century, materials have been occupying a place of importance among the M’s of Materials, Money, Man, Machine and this will continue to be so in the years to come. Materials management is one of the areas covered by the whole process of management.

The effective use of all manpower is looked after by the personnel management. But for a balanced growth and efficient running of the enterprise, it is necessary that materials cost, materials supply and materials utilization are so controlled that they lead to ? The maximization of production, ? The reduction in the cost of production and distribution, ? The maximization of the margin of profit. Materials management helps in reduction materials cost, preventing a large amount of capital being locked up for a longer period and improving the capital turnover ratio.

Materials management today is a distinct area of industrial management and plays a vital role in production and productivity. This concept aims at cost reduction, as a result of integrated approach towards the management of materials at all stages viz. , planning, purchasing, receiving, stocking and disposal. Materials management is concerned with the planning and programming of materials and equipments, market research for purchase, pre-design value analysis, procurement of all materials including capital goods, raw materials, components and assembles, finished material, packaging and packing of material, inventory control etc.

Materials management is a body of knowledge which helps the manger to improve the productivity of capital by reducing materials costs, preventing large amounts of capital being locked up for long periods and improving the CTR (capital turn over ratio). Materials management involves number of issues like the ? Determination of quantity and quality ? Purchasing ? Store issuing and dispatching etc. EVOLUTION OF MATERIALS MANAGEMENT The materials management concept began to be used only from 1940’s.

Earlier to this, the activities were known as purchasing, inventory control and store keeping, each independent of the other. The Indian Institute of Materials Management (formerly Indian association of materials management) was founded in 1967. Over the year it has grown in status and is now a charter member of the International Federation of Purchasing and Materials Management (IFPMM). Materials management is more confined to manufacturing sector to service sector. This is for the simple economic reason, because every manufacturer is a converter of raw materials into finished products.

The concept of materials management is losing its significance’s as the manufacturing sectors itself is receding in importance paving way for service sector. This is particularly true in rich economies like the U. S. A. The picture in our country is different our economy has moved from primary sector towards secondary sector. It may be a few decades hence our economy will shift form secondary to tertiary sector. As long as industrial sector is predominant, materials management will continue to receive the attention of planners, executives and academicians. MATERIALS MANAGEMENT DEFINITIONS:

Bailey and Farmer define materials management as “ the management of the flow of materials into an Organization to the point where those materials are converted into the firm’s end product. ” According to Ammer, materials management is “ the process by which an Organization is supplied with goods and services that it needs to achieve its objectives. The materials management begins with the suppliers and ends when the material is either consumed or incorporated to some product. The executives who are engaged in materials management are concerned with 3 basic activities, buying, storage and materials and movement.

Lee and Dobler defines materials management “ as a confederacy of traditional materials activities bound by common idea-the idea of and integrated management approach to planning, acquisition, conversion, flow and distribution of production materials form the raw materials state to the finished product state. ” In short we can say that materials management refers to the “ movement of production materials form the stage of their acquisition to the stage of their consumption. ” BASIC CONCEPTS: Materials management aims at optimum stock level.

Materials manager aims at supporting a higher level of production or service with the same stock level, or supporting the same level of production or service with a lower stock level. Higher level of the stock results in higher carrying cost while lower stock level carries with it the risk of stock out position, involving shortage costs. A materials manager trades off between the two. There are five types of cost which are relevant for materials management: a) Purchasing cost: purchase cost consists of price paid to the suppliers and all expenses for bringing the materials to stores including freight insurance and transportation cost.

In case of MODVAT credit (under central excise law) is deducted from the price paid to the supplier. b) Ordering cost: this includes expenses incurred on requisition, preparing purchase order, following up with suppliers for early delivery, transportation, receiving supplies and placing the same in stores. c) Carrying cost: This includes opportunity cost of funds locked up in stock, storage cost, expenses on handling, insurance, rent and rates and losses due to obsolescence, opportunity cost in this context refers to contribution form alternative use of the fund which the firm has foregone by investing the same in stock. ) Stock-out cost (shortage cost): When stock fails short of demand, it results in higher cost involved in crash procurement less efficient and uneconomic production schedule, customer dissatisfaction and loss of sales. (e) Quality cost: The quality of a product or services is its conformances with predetermined standards. Cost of quality can be classified into: ? Prevention costs, which are incurred to avoid the purchase of, best quality materials. ? Appraisal costs which are incurred to detect sub-quality materials. Internal failure costs which arise when defects are detected before shipment of products to customers. ? External failure costs which occur when defects are defected after shipment. REASONS FOR POPULARITY OF MATERIALS: Materials occupy a significant place among the M’s of an industrial enterprise because of the following reasons: ? The amount spent on materials is higher than other inputs ? Materials offer considerable scope for reducing cost and improving profit. ? Improving return on investment depends on effect utilization of materials. ? Materials add value to product. Quality of end product depends on materials. ? Materials management assumes responsibility for whatever happens in purchasing, storing, inventory or any other area connected with materials. ? Need for preservation of scarce resources for posterity. ? Increasing demand for ensuring environmental safety. ? The efficiency of any organization depends upon the availability of right materials, in right quantity, at right time and at right place. ? Materials are the lifeblood of man’s development. OBJECTIVES OF MATERIALS MANAGEMENT: The objectives of materials management are classified into 2 namely: ) Primary objectives 2) Secondary objectives If the contribution is direct, the objectives may be called primary, if the contribution is indirect (materials department assisting some other department). The objectives may be called secondary. (Primary or secondary, the main focus of materials management is to procure right materials in right quality, of right quantity at right time bought from right sources and at right prices. Primary objectives: The primary objectives are as follows: • Low prices: This objective is important for all purchases of materials and services, including transportation.

If the purchasing department reduces the prices of the items it buys, operating costs are reduced and profits are enhanced. • Low cost acquisition and possession: acquisition and possession costs are low when he receiving and stores departments operate efficiently. They are also reduced when shipments are received in relatively large quantities. • Consistency of quality: Quality of end depends on the materials that go into it. When materials purchased are homogeneous and in a primitive stage quality is rarely a problem for purchasing personnel.

When a variety of items of different qualities are needed and meeting rigid specifications becomes a challenge to suppliers, quality may become the single most important objective. • Favorable supplier relations: the materials manager is often with the problem of last minute cancellation of existing commitments because of sudden shift in the demand for materials cooperative suppliers can do much to help he managers solve such problems. • High inventory turnover: when inventories are low in relation to sales, less capital is tied up in inventories.

Also storage and carrying costs of inventories are lower when turnover is high. Secondary objectives: The secondary objectives are as follows: • Reciprocal relations: When a company deliberately buys as much as possible from its own customers, it is said to practice reciprocity, the purchasing manager must impress upon the marketing manager that the reciprocal relationship with the customer is in the best interest of the company. • Economic make or buy: Committees consisting of department heads generally make or buy decisions.

The purchasing manager should spot the need for a make or buy decisions and refers it to the committee for action. • Forecasts: This is one of the most important secondary objectives. In order to manage materials better,” some conception of the future outlook for prices, costs and generally business is necessary. ” • Interdepartmental harmony: Materials managers are aware of the need for good interdepartmental relations. To prevent disputes, they are careful to define departmental responsibilities clearly and also try to familiarize others with materials directives, policies and organizations. Conclusion:

To conclude we can say that primary or secondary, the main focus of materials management is to procure right materials in right quality of right quantity at right bought form right source and at right prices. MATERIAL COST: Material cost should include all incidental expenses incurred on placing the material in stores or at any other location as indicated in purchase requisition. The following items need special consideration: 1) MODAT: The scheme of Modified Values Added Tax allows relief to a manufacturer of a dutiable product on the duty element borne by him in respect of the raw materials (inputs) used by him.

The scheme entitles a manufacturer (except small-scale industrial units which are availing total exemption from the payment of excise duty) to take instant credit to central excise duty paid on the inputs. The scheme however does not cover some specified items. In case a particular item is covered under MODAT, excise duty paid on it should be deducted from the invoice price. 2) Customs Duty: In case of imported items, customs duty should form a part of material cost. 3) Trade Discount: This is a reduction given by a supplier to a retailer who is going to re-sell the material. ) Quantity Discount: This is an allowance offered by the supplier to encourage bulk purchase. 5) Cash Discount: This is an allowance offered by the supplier for payment within a stipulated period. 6) Incidental expenses: It includes transport and storage charges, transit insurance, port clearance charges in case of imported materials etc. MATERIALS MANAGEMENT INVOLVES: i. Purchase of materials (purchasing function) ii. Receipt, storage and issue of materials (stores functions) iii. Inventory control iv. Purchasing policies v. Material handling i. PURCHASING FUNCTION Objectives and responsibilities:

The most important purchasing objectives is to ensure continuity of supplies at the lowest cost commensurate with acceptable standards of quality and delivery. It is the responsibility of purchase department to procure right type of material in the right quantity and at the right price and to provide the materials at the time and right place. Thus, the purchase department’s responsibilities include: ? To know the exact specification of materials which are used in the organization ? To know the sources of such materials. ? To continuously have market information on the new sources ?

To continuously develop new sources of supply and to maintain an updated vendor list with vendor rating ii. STORES FUNCTION: Stores location and layout: The following factors should be considered while deciding the location and layout of stores: a) Stores should be closer to receiving sections. b) Bulky materials should be stored as close to the user department as possible. c) Location should be such as to facilitate easy access to production department. d) Special arrangement should be made for items affected by atmospheric conditions. RESPONSIBILITIES OF A STOREKEEPER:

The following are the responsibilities of storekeeper: a) To maintain stores in a tidy manner. b) To prevent entry of unauthorized persons. c) To maintain up to date records of receipt issue and balance of each item of material. d) To accept materials after proper verification of documents. e) To periodically reconcile bin-card balance with physical balances. f) To ensure good turnover of stock g) To issue materials against ‘ material requisition note’ signed by an authorized official. DOCUMENTS USED IN STORES: 1. Material requisition note 2. Material transfer note 3. Material return note 4.

Bin card 5. stores material control record 6. Stores ledger 7. Bill of material iii. INVENTORY CONTROL: Inventory management refers to the planning, organizing and controlling activities to ensure that stocks are kept at levels, which provide maximum services at minimum cost. Inventory management includes management of finished goods and work-in-process. There are the various techniques, which the companies employ to control the level of inventory. They are: ? Always better control (ABC) classification. ? High, medium and low (HML)classification ? Vital, essential and designable (VED) Just-in-time (JIT) ? Economic order quantity (EOQ) ? Materials requirement planning (MRP) EFFECIVE MANAGEMENT OF INVENTORIES: Inventory Management must be designed to meet the dictates of market place and support the company’s Strategic Plan . The many changes in the market demand, new opportunities due to worldwide marketing , global sourcing of materials and new manufacturing technology means many companies need to change their Inventory Management approach and change the process for Inventory Control . ? Shorten operating cycle ? Explore use of alternate feed stock with lower lead time ?

Apply value analysis, value engineering leading to lower cost ? Reduce varieties to a barest minimum ? Develop new markets with reduced lead time for transportation of finished goods ? Adopt selective inventory control techniques ? Introduce computerized material requirement planning ? Much of the contribution will have to come from personnel in purchase, stores. iv. PURCHASING POLICIES: The purchasing function is influenced by certain policies, refer to a) Ancillarization b) Make or buy decision c) Tenders d) Speculative buying e) Vendor rating f) Ethics in purchasing ) Reciprocate h) Purchasing for employees gifts Purchasing manual is a part of material management manual. But there could be purchasing manual without a materials management manual. There are two types of purchasing manuals-one deals with the purchasing policies and the other with the purchasing procedures. The policy manual contains statement of operating policies, approved by top management; under states the procedures to be followed by the purchasing department in conducting its activities. Generally an organization will have one manual combining the policies and the procedures.

One of the central governments owned undertaking located in Bangalore has a manual for purchasing which runs into 115 pages. Of these first 86 pages contain policies and the remaining 29 pages contain procedures to be used in various transactions and rules to be observed. v. MATERIALS HANDLING: Material handling is yet another activity of materials management. This chapter is devoted to a detailed of all aspects of materials handling. To manufacture any product, it is necessary that movement of at least of the three basic elements of production i. . , materials, men or machines-takes place. Without this movement, mass production is not possible. In most industrial processes it is the material, rather than men or machines that move. Often, it is easier to move the men or machines or both than it is to move the materials; in the aircraft industry, for example, it is easier to move a man with his portable electric drill than to move the hull of an aircraft to him. Since it seems that materials are mostly moved, the term “ materials handling” has been coined to describe problems of this nature.

Thus, materials handling include all movement of materials in a manufacturing situation. It was James m. Apple defined materials handling as handling of material. Objectives of materials handling: The overall objectives of materials handling is to reduce production costs, this general objective can be subdivided into specific goals such as: 1. Increased capacity 2. Improved working conditions 3. Improved customer services 4. Increased equipment and space utilization 5. Reduced costs IMPORTANCE OF MATERIALS MANAGEMENT:

The importance of materials management is reflected by the fact that materials management has evolved as a separate subject of study by managers and academic. This is so because in some of the industries, particularly in heavy engineering industries, materials constitute 50 to 70 percent of the total cost of production. However, with changes in manufacturing environment the share of overhead in the total cost of production is increasing and correspondingly the share of materials management rather newer techniques have emerged to build the advanced manufacturing environment.

Though these developments are evolutionary, they often appear to be revolutionary, they often appear to be revolutionary because underlying assumptions are radically different form the assumptions which formed the basis for conventional materials management techniques. The significance of an efficient materials management system needs no emphasis. It will facilitate the accomplishment of the following objectives: 1. Lower prices for materials and equipment, 2. Faster inventory turnover, 3. continuity of supply, 4. Reduced lead time, 5. reduced transportation costs, 6. Less duplication of efforts, . Elimination of buck-passing, 8. reduced materials obsolescence, 9. Improved supplier relationship and better records and information’s, 10. better interdepartmental cooperation, and 11. Personnel development.

C. V. Raman Nagar, Bangalore-560 093. HISTORY OF BEML: BEML, is a public sector undertaking under the effective administration of ministry of defense (department of defense supply).

The organization was set up in the late forties as a part of Hindustan Aircraft’s limited now known as HINDUSTHAN AERONAUTICS LIMITED to earth moving equipments in gradually diversified into earth moving equipments in 1964. After 1 years I. e. 1965 the organization has its own entity I. E. BEML. The company was incorporated in the first 5 years plan when India was very weak in the economy. The main purpose for setting up this organization was to manufacture heavy earth moving equipments, railway coaches, heavy duty trucks, truck laying equipments, overhead respection cars, aggregates etc. Later in few years the organization had a tremendous and they were strong enough to diversify to sectors such as coal mining, steel cement, power, irrigation, defense construction of roads, building etc. , In the last few decades it has further brought new technical high quality inventions like hydraulics, heavy-duty diesel engines welding robots and undertaking of heavy fabrication jobs. Over the years the growth of the company has been phenomenal. The company has the distinction of making profits right from its inception. Commencing its operations with a turnover of around Rs. crores in 1964-65, the company has achieved a turnover of around Rs1421 crores for the year 2001-2002. The product range has also under gone drastic changes in terms of numbers and technology.

I ORGANISATION OF MATERIALS MANAGEMENT The basic structure of materials management in BEML involves the following main function books: I. THE ACTIVITIES INVOLVED IN MATERIAL PLANNING AND CONTROL ARE: ? Requirement planning. ? Indent generation / Indent amendment generation. ? Material clearance. ? Inventory analysis and control. II. THE ACTIVITIES OF PURCHASING ARE: ? Receipt of indent amendments thereof and registration. ? Tendering. ? Placement of purchase order and amendments thereof. ? Follow up of purchase order. ? Vendor performance evaluation. Insurance coverage. ? Licensing for imported items. ? Clearance of imported consignments. III. THE ACTIVITIES OF STORES FUNCTION CONSISTS ARE: ? Insurance coverage. ? Clearance of domestic consignments. ? Material receipt and identification. ? SRV generation and accounts. ? Storage, preservation and issue of material. ? Rejected / Non-conforming material accounts. ? Insurance claims. ? EDGP processing for MODVAT. ? Scrap disposal. ? Material handling ? Selection of approved transport carriers. ? Stock verification. FUNCTIONAL INTERFACE OF MATERIAL MANAGEMENT: I MATERIAL PLANNING AND CONTROL PROCEDURE FOLLOWED IN BEML

Materials planning and control are grouped into four namely: a) Requirement planning b) Indent monitoring follow up c) Materials clearance d) Inventory analysis and control a) REQUIREMENT PLANNING Requirement planning is where the recognition of need arises and the needed item is officially brought to the attention of the materials management department. In BEML, firstly when a customer places orders with the company for any particular project, the marketing department passes the details to commercial department for monitoring the project. Commercial department will issue various manufacturing orders (M.

O. ) for each product, like SEE, AVR, MMI etc. Based on these MOs, Engineering department design the equipment form where the actual job of material planning and control is seen. The Engineering Department before preparing final bills of materials (BOM), prepares a slip called materials requirements (MR) in order to reduce procurement cycle. A material requirement includes different types of materials required, with their quantities. The material requirements are scanned once in a week by material planning and control (MPC) for additions and changing requirements MPC consolidates all these requirements.

A detailed diagrammatic representation of all the jobs performed by the mpc. Especially during the first step, i. e. , requirements planning are as follows: Thus, the MR’s so got are processed using the MRP software developed in house. For each item the system will check the quantity required for the next 5 quarters with the existing stock and allocates to each project / contract as per the planning delivery of production program. In case, the stocks are not available for the full requirement, the materials in the pipeline are scanned and allocated accordingly.

Thus, the materials required for different contracts are being allocated from pending purchase orders. If the total requirement is not met by the above cases, an indent is prepared for that particular item. All the items to be indented will be captured into a file. b) INDENT MONITORING AND FOLLOW UP The MPC coordinates with the purchasing and production planning And control (PPC) Department for the procurement activities. Based on the MOs planned, a shortage list for all the materials that are not available in the stores is prepared. All the indents are checked and a report is generated for the pendancy of indents.

This storage list is discussed with the purchase executives to find out the Probable Date of Completion (PDC). The following chart represents the indent monitoring function. C)MATERIAL CLEARANCE In this step, the concerned group manager of MPC is authorised to clear the material against issue of documents through computer or the hard copy as the case may be. When shop rejections are brought to the notice of MPC. MPC will take action to repair/rework/replace the materials. In case items required for urgent production needs, prior to verification a request for release of material under the concerned executives will issue positive recall.

D)INVENTORY ANALYSIS AND CONTROL The term inventory includes raw materials, finished goods, work in process, spares, packaging and others stocked in order to meet an unexpected demand or distribution in the future. Inventory include several costs like ordering costs, carrying costs, capital costs, storage space costs, inventory service costs, handling equipment costs, inventory risk costs, out of stock costs etc. Maintenance of all these costs properly is one of the main objectives of inventory management.

Inventory management stresses the need for integrated information flow and decision-making, as it relates to inventory policies and overall systems. Inventory control, on the other hand, refers to the actual steps taken to maintain the stock records or stock levels. THE FOLLOWING ARE THE ACTIVITIES OF INVENTORY CONTROL: a) It is concerned with raw materials and purchased parts. b) Regulates the investments in inventories. c) Investments are decided on the basis of predetermined limits and these limits are prescribed by the inventory policy followed by the management.

THE PROCEDURE WHICH IS FOLLOWED AND THE INVENTORY CONTROL TECHNIQUES AND ANALYSIS ARE AS FOLLOWS: Firstly review of inventory analysis is done once in a year for identification of non-moving and slow moving items. The list of non-moving items is then circulated to all engineering departments and other user departments for identifying possible application for contracts or spares. These lists are also circulated to other units of BEML for similar action. Based on the feed back, action is initiated for retention or charging off as surplus charged off in the books of account.

Different analyses are being used in BEML such as ABC analysis, VED classification, XYZ analysis, etc. The most commonly used technique in any company is the ABC analysis, based on which the other techniques are followed. The ABC approach is a means of categorizing inventory items into three classes-A, b and c according to the potential amount to be controlled. The materials are treated according to the categories in each technique and thus the inventory is controlled. II PURCHASING The purchase functions of BEML are decentralized and each division is responsible for procurement of its requirements.

The head of the purchase department is directly accountable for efficient discharge of his functions, duties and responsibilities. He is assisted by a team of officers and staff for carrying out the purchase functions. OBJECTIVES:- The main objectives of the purchase department are as follows: – h) To ensure uninterrupted flow of materials for production services. ii) To procure the materials required at the best price keeping abreast of price trends and market conditions. iii) To keep the investment in inventory at the minimum. iv) To ensure continuous search for alternate sources of supply. ) To promote and develop indigenous sources of supplies wherever possible and to minimise reliance on imports. vi) To strive for cordial, enduring and beneficial business relationship with the suppliers. FUNCTIONS: – The functions of the purchase organization can be broadly defined as under: i) Identification and selection of suitable sources of supply including promotion and development of potential sources for indigenisation. ii) Analysing of bids and prices ensuring fair opportunity to tenders/ suppliers and competitive prices to the company. ii) Conducting negotiations with regard to prices, quality, delivery schedule and terms of payment. iv) Issues of purchase orders, follow-up for suppliers and periodical review for closure of purchase orders. v) To co-ordinate and assist in payment of suppliers bills and recoveries from suppliers. vi) To assist in standardization of material, suppliers and equipment. vii) Market research for improved methods and products. vii) To keep abreast of government regulations in regard to taxes and levels relating to purchases. PURCHASE COMMITTEE:- The pre-requisites to achieve, economy in procurement are: – ) Availing the offers within the validity period. ii) Minimising delays in placing purchase orders. iii) Aiding in effective decision making. This calls for making purchase management broad based and responsive. To achieve this end, officers from other department like production, finance, material, planning, stores etc. , are also associated according two committees viz. , a) Purchase tender committee (PTC). b) Material tender committee (MPC). Are constituted by the management for examination of the cases as also to recommend /decide the course of action on problems that may arise while scrutinizing the tenders for acceptance.

The procurement value based on the quotation for the item/items covered in the MPR initially shall form the basis for reference to PTC.

It is imprerative that the items are ordered with in a reasonable period so that shipment could be got effected within the validity period of the license.

Application for license has to be submitted against FE allotment in terms of import policy in vogue. III. STORES: – The aim of manufacturing operation, which is an important facet of the business activity, is also timely manufacturing of the desired products of specified quality, in proper quantities at the least possible cost. The efficiency of manufacturing operations largely depends on the efficient functioning of the receiving and stores operations. Stores or storage is the function of receiving. Storing and issuing the materials.

It is concerned with the physical handling and well being of the stocks. The stores is either subordinated to the purchasing deportment or is grouped with purchasing in a materials management department. The direct production cost is reduced by strategic location of stores ensuring quick issue and elimination of production stoppages caused by waiting for materials. It indirectly reduces the production costs in terms of reduced investment in materials, storage space and insurance, elimination of pilferage and theft, obsoletion, reduced handling cost etc. ,
