As government is allowing subsidy on these plants. © Scope of reduction in energy consumption by way of implementing revamp scheme. THREATS © Fow plants are in operation for more than twenty year and may also require replacement of high value equipment and higher maintenance expenditures ‘© Entry of new competitors in the same field of business. + Higher competitive market for IT products and service, 6 INDUSTRY PROFILE ® Introduction: Fertilizers sector is a very crucial for the Indian economy because provides @ very important input to agriculture, The fertilizer industry in India has played @ pivotal role in achieving self-sufficiency in food grains as well as in rapid and sustained agriculture growth. india is the third largest procedures and consumer of festilizer in the world after China and the United States Agriculture. which acccunts for one fit of GOP. provides sustenance to two-thirds of the population. Besides, it provides crucial backward and forward linkages to the rest of the economy. Successive five-year plans have laid stress on self-sulficiency and self-reliance in food grains production and cencentated efforts in this direction have resulted in substantial increase in agriculture production and productivity, This is clear from the fact that irom a very modest level of 52 milion MT In 1951-52, food grains production rase to above 208.6 million MT in 2005-06 Keeping in view the vital role played by chemical fertilizers in the success of India’s green revolution and consequent self-reliance in food grain production, the Government of India has been consistently pursuing policies conductive to increased availability and consumption of fertilizers in the country. As a result, the annual consumption of fertilizers, in nutrient terms( N, P & Ki), has increased fram 0.7 LMT in 1954-52 to 2034 LMT in 2005-06, while per hectare consumption, which was less than 1 kg in 1951-82 has risen to the level of 104.Skq in 2005-06. > Growth in Fertilizer Industry: The Indian fertilizer industry has succeeded in mesting almost fully the demand of all chemical fertlizors except for MOP. The industry had a very humbie beginning in 1905, when the first manufacturing unit of Single Super Phosphate (SSP) was sot up in Ranipet near Chennai with an annual capacity of 6000 MT. The Fertilizer & Chemicals Travancore of India Ltd. (FACT) at Cochin in Kerala and the Fertilizers Corporation of India (FCI) in Sindri in Bihar wore the first large sized -tertiizer plants set up in the forties and fities with a view to establish an industrial base to achieve self-sufficiency in foodgrains. Subsequently, green revolution in the late sixties gave an impetus to the grawth of fertilizer industry in India. The seventies and eighties then witnessed a significant addition ta the fertilizer production capacity. Tho installed capacity as on 30.01.2003 has reached a lavel of 121.10 lakh MT of nitragen (inclusive of an installed capacity of 208.42 lakh MT of urea afer reassessment of capacity) and 62.80 lakh MT of phosphatic nutrient, making India the 3rd largest fertilizer producer in the world. The rapid build-up of fertilizer production capacity in the country has been achieved as a result of a favourable policy environment facilitating large investments in the public, co-operative and private sectors. Presently, there are 57 large sized fertilizer plants in the country manufacturing a wide range of nitrogenous, phosphatic and complex ferllizers, Out of these, 29 unit preduce urea, 20 Units produce DAP and complex fertilizers 1% plants manufacture Ammonium Sulphate (AS), Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN} and other low analysis nitrogenous ferilizers. Be Units in operation producing SSP. jes, there are about 64 medium and small-scale » Importance of Fertilizer Industry: These coal based plants have, however. been clesed by Government W.e.f, 14.2002 due to technical and financial non-viability, However, with natural gas becoming available from offshore Bombay High and South Basin, a number of gases based ammonia-urea plants have been set up since 1985. As the usage of gas increased and its available supply dwindled, a number of expansion projects came up in the last few years with duel feed facility using both naphtha and gas. Feasibility of making available Liquefied Natural Gas {LING) to moet the demand of existing fertilizer plants andlor for their expansion projects, along with the passibilily for ublizing newly discovered gas reserves, is also being expiared by various fertilizer companies in India In case of phosphates, the paucity of demestic raw material has boon a constraint in the attainment of self-sufficiency in the country. Indigenous rock phosphate supplies meet enly 5-10% of the total requirement of PZO5. A policy has therefore been aslepted which involves a mix of three options, viz, domestic production based on indigenous/imported rock phosphate and imported sulphur: imported intermediates, viz. ammonia and phospheric acid; and third, import of finished fertilizers, In the absence of commercially exploitable potash sources in the country, the entire demand of potassic fertilizers for direct application as well as for production of complex fertilizers is met through imports. Given the Volatility in international market for fertilizers in general and urea in particular, marginal pravision through imports could be used to the country's strategic advantage. This is also desirable as the international market, especially in case of urea. is very sensitive to demand supply scenario. >» Salient Features of Fertilizer Industry: * Fertilizer sector is very crucial to Indian economy. provides important input to agriculture sector. It is regulated by government policies administering the price of fertilizer and the production. Urea production is energy intensive process ‘+ Natural gas, Naphtha, LSLifuel oil are used as feedstock for producing urea. = Cost of energy varies from 65% to 87% of production costs + Specific energy consumption of sample plants covered under this study varies between 5.53 goalMT of urea and 10.2 Goal/MT. + Majority of industry energy conscious and focuses an energy management. Over the years, the industry has improved its energy performance by bringing dawn the specific energy consumption and improving capacity ulilization. » Fertilizer Industry Scenario in India: BSR EKR ALS Public Sector Indu: The fertilizer and Chemicals Travancore Ltd.

A subsidiary ledger which is usually used to record the details of individual items of stack. Inventories can alse be used to hold the details of otfier assets of a business, There are three types of inventory: Raw materials, work in pracess and finished goods. Raw materials are materials and components that are inputs in making final products, Work in process alsa called stock in process refers to goods in the intermediate stages of Production finished goods consist of final products that are ready for sale inventory represents the second largest asset category for manufacturing companies next only, t@ plant and equipment he proportion of inventory to total assets generally consists of 16 to 30 percentage. Inventories is a list of goods available in stock at warehouses .it is alse se for a list of contains of a household and for a of testamentary purpose of the possession of someone who has died in accounting inventory consists as assets. 39 Nature of Inventories Inventories ate classified according to uses and point of entry in the alteration is as follows: © Raw material + Work in process goods, © Finished goods & + Spares and consumables. * Raw Materials Raw materials are those units that are converted in to finished production through manufacturing process. Raw material inventories are those units which have been purchased and stored for future. Under head of raw materials GNFC are maintained rock phosphates, liquid ammania ete. + Work in Process goods It is also called stock in process. It refers to goads in the intermediate stage of production. These inventories are semi finished products. It presents the products that need mare work before they become finished praduct for sale. + Finished goods Finished goeds consist of final products that are ready for sale. Finished goods ara those completely manufacturing products which are ready for sale. Stock of material and wark in process facilitate production, while Stock af finished goods is required for smooth marketing operation. Thus inventories serves as a link between production and consumption of goods. 40 + Spares.and consumables Spares play an important part of inventories by themselves. Their consumption pattern defers from that of raw material, consumables and finished goods, They also even keep these items in @ spare which is not easily available, There is the material which act as catalysis in the production precess and are not directly found in to oulpul. This enables the preduction process to function smoothly like - fuel, call, oil, LSHS etc, are the example of the consumables, = Objective of the Inventory Management The basic responsibility of the financial is te make sure the firm's cash flows are managed efficiently. Efficient management of inventory should ultimately result in the maximization of the owner's wealth. It was indicated that in order to minimizes cash requirements, inventory should be tured over as quickly as pos: the production line or lead to a logs of sales. le, avoiding stock-cuts thal might result in clasing down ‘The main objective of inventory management consists of two parts. 1, To minimize investment in inventory. 2, Ta meet demand for the product by efficiently organizing the production and sales operations. The firm should minimize investment in inventory implies that maintaining Inventory involves costs, such that the smaller the inventory, the lower is the cost to the firm. But inventory alse provide benefits to the extent that facilitate the smooth functioning of the fiams. a > Why Inventory Management? An increased emphasis on liquidity has lead businessman to hold cash and securities In performance to inventories. Inventories are new often referred to as the grave yard of the business. The surplus of the stock has been a principal guide of failure thus lead to change their view regarding holding of inventories and adont scientific way of inventory holding. Following are factor that are following the view of scientific inventory control, 1. Size of Business The increased size of business establishment has played an important rola in madam large seale enterprise. Often it operates with small profit margin which can be eliminated by scientific inventories control method 2. Wide variety and complexity ‘The wide variety and complexity in moder technology requires conscious inventory management. The larger the range of requirement, the greater the number af problem of investment, procurement, storage, holding, accounting, shortage and stock oul deterioration etc. 3. Urgency in material requirements The need and importance of inventories varies in different production With the ideal tine, cost of men, machinery and uraéney of requirement. But it is highly uneconomical to keep @ secure and a rapid capital turnover and the most effective means of achieving these objectives is to contral stares. 42 q Inventory Management Dec There two types of factors, They are external and internal factor which Influence decision making for inventory in an crganization. The external factor arises from market conditions, credit availability and government regulation. The extemal factors are not controllable easily while internal factor are contrallabie with affactive inventory management. Following are the factors influence the inventory decision of an organization 2. Lead Time Lead time can be defined as the period that elapses between the reorganization of a need and its fulfilment. Inventories have to lake care of normal consumption during lead time because it increases the inventories and it will have to be increased correspondingly. The time spent on each of these four stages will vary from item to item. Out of these administrative and inspection lead time are under eentrol of purchase. Procurement lead time is the largest time. This should be taken care of while negotiating the order and supply detail 3. Relevant Cost The inventory problem is one of the balancing costs, so that total cast is minimized. Their costs are: A. Cost of Ordering The activities that are carried out for fulfilling the need for material, Which consume executive time, stationary ané communication charges, these are the cost of ordering 43 B. Cost of Carrying out Inventories: The moving factor ta control inventory is the cost incurred by helding. It is the cast that is expressed as percentage af the average investment ie. capital investment, spoilage insurance cost = Material Control Techniques The concept of material control techniques signifies the efficiency of any organization. The contingent upon having the right material of right quality al right quantity at the right time in follawing three areas: 1. Purchase Contrel 2, Storage Control 3. Warehouse Accounting 1, Purchase Central This is one of the basic functions of inventory management and forms @ major part of it, It needs considerable expertise not only negotiating but also in the techniques of competitors and studying of economic trends in respect of materials to be purchaged in large quantity ka inereage the profit © Objectives of Purchasing: 1. To maintain continuity of production 2, To contribute to the competitiveness of the product 3. Te contribute towards higher productivity 4. Ta inerease profit 5. To contibute towards standardization, variety reduction, value analysis. aa 2. Storage Control The control of materials when it is in storage is affected through what is known ag the perpetual inventory. Thus two main functions of the perpetual inventory system have been studied which are 1, Receipt and Issue System, 2. Maintenance of Store Recards The use of inventory control technique also has been evaluated considering existing position af GEC. 3. Warehousing System and Procedure The procedure comas into operatian immediately on receipt of dispatched documents or dispatched intimation in the stores and covers on the actives ie. clearance, delivery, inspection, stock charging and preservation, issue and retum of materials by the ends after striking cut balance from the stock card and delivery of the accaunt department, 45 GNC is maintaining inventories successfully.

Determination of Inventories Level: (a) Minimum Stock Level (b) Maximum Stock Levol (c) Re-Order Level 4, Importance Substitution. 5. Supply Chain Management & Inventary Control 48 1. Codification System: Codification system means assigning a unique code or name to each tom based on its use. characteristics. importance and other features. It is the process of allocating a code after logical grouping and sub grouping considering material type and application + Principles of Material Gode: ¥ There should be adequate provision for future expansion and there should be no duplication. Gne particular size and type should be at one place only. Description should be brief, very accurate, specification, part number; drawing number should be quoted whenever required. Unit of issue and receipts should be given and followed strictly Code should be understandable by those who have to use it It should be properly classified for section, classed and group he unique cade for each item represented by single code, aS SAR Advantages: It enable systematic grouping of similar items together. It helps in avoiding duplication of items. ¥ Rationalized codification result in variety of reductions. Many firms have successfully reduced the number of items stock by them. ¥ It avoids confusion caused by the long and unwieldy description and accurately logically and logically identifies all items. ¥ Iis the starting point for standardization Y It lays the foundation for an efficient purchase organization by helping to fram specialized commodity base purchase section. Since items are identified by source of supply. it is possible to bulk them together to take advantages of bulk discount. 49 > Classification of Inventory The Inventories having huge amount of use in the organization has to be controlled very strictly and low amount of use should be kept low control The main classification of Inventory is as under: (a) ABE classification (b) Economics Ordering Quantity (6) FSN classification (2) HML classification (@) Zero Inventories {A) ABC Classification In most of the inventaries a stnall proportion af items account for a vary substantial usag@ and large proportion of items accounts for a very small usage. ABC analysis. based on this empitical reality, advocales in essence a selective approach to inventory centro! which ealls for a greater concentration of efforts on inventory items accounting for the bulk of usage value ABC classification is a basic analytical management tools which enable top management to direct their efforts where the resull will be maximum. This technique properly knows as "ALWAYS BETTER CONTROL" has universal application in many areas of human endeavor, The techniques ties to analyze the distribution of any characteristic by money value of impartance in order te determine its priarity. 49 TABLE NO: 6 Class ‘AGiass B Class © Class Trams value 70% 20% 10% Number of tems 10% 20% 70% DIAGRAM NO: 6 {8) Economic Order Quantity: Order quantity is defined as the quantity or its rupee equivalent for which fresh order of as inventary item is placed.
