Inventory management Inventories are one of the current assets.
If the size is large, a large amount of investment is there.
Consist of raw materials, WIP, finished goods and suppliers or stores and spares like brooms, lights, etc.
![Page 32: Module iv - Financial Management - WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051101/58a19bd01a28ab97118b6a2f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Needs or motives to hold inventories
1. Transaction motive – for smooth production inaccordance with demand
2. Precautionary motive – to guard against unpredictable changes in demand and supply
3. Speculative motive – for taking adavantages of price fluctuations.
![Page 33: Module iv - Financial Management - WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051101/58a19bd01a28ab97118b6a2f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Inventory management techniques
Managing inventories should be based on the objective of shareholder’s wealth maximization.
For efficient management of inventories, we have to find out the answers of two questions-
1. How much should be ordered? and
2. When should it be ordered?
![Page 34: Module iv - Financial Management - WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051101/58a19bd01a28ab97118b6a2f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
EOQ – Economic Ordering Quantity
Answer of first question is EOQ.
Economic Ordering Quantity is that inventory level which minimises the total ordering and carrying cost.
EOQ = root of 2CO divided by I
Where C = annual consumption
O = ordering cost per unit
I = carrying cost per unit
![Page 35: Module iv - Financial Management - WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051101/58a19bd01a28ab97118b6a2f/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Re-order point Answer to the second question is Re-order point. “The re-order point is that inventory level at which an order should be placed to replenish the inventory”.
Re-order point = Lead time x avg usage + safety stock
Lead time : the time normally taken to replenish the inventory after the order has been placed.
Safety stock : minimum level of stock maintained by the organisation to guard against the stock-out.
![Page 36: Module iv - Financial Management - WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051101/58a19bd01a28ab97118b6a2f/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Inventory control ABC Analysis
VED analysis
FSN analysis
![Page 37: Module iv - Financial Management - WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051101/58a19bd01a28ab97118b6a2f/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
ABC Analysis The firm has to classify the inventories on the basis of their value.
There is no need for same control over all the inventories.
High level items valued as ‘A’ – need highest control
Least value items valued as ‘C’ – need simple control
In between A & C as ‘B’ – need reasonable attention
![Page 38: Module iv - Financial Management - WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051101/58a19bd01a28ab97118b6a2f/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
VED Analysis Used to control the spare parts Spare parts are classified into three catagories:1. Vital – those spares which are vital for the continuous
production. Their stock-out will stop the production.2. Essential – essential for continuous production. Their
stock-out for more than a few hours or a day will result in much loss
3. Desirable – desirable for production but their stock-out even for a week will not result in stoppage of production.
![Page 39: Module iv - Financial Management - WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051101/58a19bd01a28ab97118b6a2f/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
FSN Analysis Materials are classified into three:
1. Fast moving items – which are consumed very rapidly
2. Slow moving items – which are not consumed frequently
3. Non-moving items – which are rarely used.
![Page 40: Module iv - Financial Management - WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051101/58a19bd01a28ab97118b6a2f/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

Motives of holding cash1. Transaction motive – for all transactions like purchases,
salary payment, etc.
2. Precautionary motive – to meet contingencies in future.
3. Speculative motive – for using the favourable conditions.
![Page 42: Module iv - Financial Management - WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051101/58a19bd01a28ab97118b6a2f/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Strategies for proper cash management1. Cash planning
2. Managing the cash flows
3. Optimum cash level
4. Investing surplus cash
![Page 43: Module iv - Financial Management - WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051101/58a19bd01a28ab97118b6a2f/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
1. Cash planning Cash planning is a technique to plan and control the use of cash.
For proper planning preparation of both long term and short term cash budget is essential.
Cash budget is a summary statement of firm’s expected cash inflows and outflows over a projected time period.
![Page 44: Module iv - Financial Management - WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051101/58a19bd01a28ab97118b6a2f/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
2. Managing the cash flows After preparing the budget, financial manager and the
organization will try maximum to achieve the budget.
Objectives are:
1. Accelerate cash collections
2. Decelerate cash disbursements
![Page 45: Module iv - Financial Management - WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051101/58a19bd01a28ab97118b6a2f/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Accelerating cash collections An organization should speed-up its cash collections.
An efficient financial manager can take attempts to reduce the firm’s floats by speeding up the mailing process and collection time.
Float – it is the difference between the company’s bank balance and the balance shown in the bank’s book of the firm.
![Page 46: Module iv - Financial Management - WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051101/58a19bd01a28ab97118b6a2f/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Methods for accelerating cash inflows
1. Decentralised collections/concentration banking
2. Lock-box system-eliminate the time gap between collection of cheques and deposit into bank
3. Prompt payment by customers – by sending self addressed envelops along with the bill
![Page 47: Module iv - Financial Management - WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051101/58a19bd01a28ab97118b6a2f/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Decelerate cash disbursements
There is no advantage in paying sooner than agreed.
But delayed payment will be a source of finance.
![Page 48: Module iv - Financial Management - WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051101/58a19bd01a28ab97118b6a2f/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Methods for slowing cash outflows
1. Paying on last date
2. Payments through account payee cheque
3. Centralised payment
4. Inter-bank transfer
5. Salary payment through cheque
![Page 49: Module iv - Financial Management - WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051101/58a19bd01a28ab97118b6a2f/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
3. Determination of optimum cash balance One of the primary responsibility of the financial manager is to maintain a sound liquidity position of the firm.
Liquidity – sufficient funds to meet firm’s requirements as well as emergencies.
Profitability – capacity of the firm to utilize the fund for profitable projects.
If liquidity is greater , lesser the profitability.
Therefore the cash balance should be optimum.
Question of how to determine optimum cash balance under certainty & uncertainty?
