INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

1- INTRODUCTION:
Inventory means stock/goods where as management means coordinating and oversight the work activities of others that their activities are completed efficiently and effectively. So we can say it is managing of stock in a systematic way.
Successful inventory management involves creating a purchasing plan that will ensure that items are available when they are needed (but that neither too much nor too little is purchased). Manufacturing businesses will general call its inventory as raw material, work in process and finished goods.
2- OBJECTIVE OF INVENTORY MANAGEMENT:
The objective of inventory management is to provide continuous production, sales, and customer-service levels at the minimum cost. In business management, inventory consists of a list of goods and material held available in stock.
3- INVENTORY MANAGEMENT PROCESS USED BY GSK:
1-    Stock Policies > Sorting materials categories.
2-    Safety Stocks > Buffer stock which means to plan for extra stock in order to avoid shortage e.g. 1000 units are produced and 100 units are wasted/damaged so in that case should plan before for safety stock that will cover the wasted/damaged stock.
3-    ABC Classification > means 75% high value and comes under A classification, 10% B classification and remaining C classification which is given to different stock at GSK.
4-    Manage Stock forward cover > means Forecasting or planning out future demand.

EXPLANATION OF DATA FLOW DAIGRAM
     Net Requirement: Under net requirement stock requirement is calculated by 2+22 months means 2 months are frozen in which order is placed. Where as in 22 months material is planned & fluctuation occurs.
     RMS: RMS stands for Release Management System which is used to evaluate cost through software e.g. JD Edward and not only forecast cost but also display the available and more needed stock.
     Production plan: In which production is planned on daily, weekly, monthly and annually.
     MPS: MPS stands for Master Production Schedule and is same like that of 22 months in which material is planned and fluctuation occurs.
     MRP: Means material resource planning which is used to plan the current resources or current requirements and here with controlled by ERP (enterprise resource planning) software.
     SUPPLY REVIEW:
      Capacity, DSPL (disposable location) which are decided in meeting, slow moving items e.g. turmeric used in cooking same like some child items included in medicine  and rejected items are reviewed by senior managers in order to assure that supply of resources are being handled properly.
     Capacity Plan: In which demand is forecasted on capacity basis means if maximum stock is required/demanded maximum is provided
     ASP: ASP stands for Agreed Supply Planning in which supply agreement is made from customers.
    ELECTRONIC ASP TRANSFER: Agreed supply planning controlled through electronic process which includes JD EDWARD software.
    FPO:  Refers to firm planned on which includes SO (shop order) and PO (purchase order) in which sale and purchase are processed.
    RCCP: Rough cost capacity plan in which rough idea of cost is given.
    BOM: Means bill of material which is used in warehouses as an evidence that required material is being collected on time.


5- INVENTORY SYSTEM USED BY GSK:



GSK neither uses LIFO nor FIFO or AVERAGE method. Why because GSK is a Pharmaceutical Company and prefers FEFO for managing their stock.

FEFO means First Expire First Out as name shows that it is concerned with expiry and due to medicines they have to adopt FEFO method because expiry of medicines matters a lot. Secondly they use ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) which is a software used to manage inventory. This sort of software not only reports before the stock is going to end but also updates stock Receiving, Issuance and deliverance.

Following is the format of keeping stock at GSK.

         d) Organic vs. Mechanistic Structure:

Organic Structure
Mechanistic Structure
This organizational structure works best when the environment is relatively energetic and uncertain.
This organizational structure works best when the environment is relatively stable.
Because tasks are often changing, tasks may need to be differentiated, so specialists, each responsible for one or few tasks, are able to respond quickly.
Tasks will not be differentiated much, because each subtask is relatively stable and easy to control.
In complex environments, rapid communication and information sharing is necessary. Therefore, departments and different functional areas need to be tightly integrated
Due to the stability of tasks, there will be low integration between departments and functional areas, because tasks stay relatively stable, and because the functional areas are not heavily dependent on each other.
When the environment is energetic and uncertain, there is a need for complex decision-making that involves people at lower levels. Therefore, decision-making power should be distributed to lower ranks, which should get empowered in making decisions.
When the environment is stable, there is no need for complex decision-making that involves people at lower levels. Therefore, decision-making is centralized at the top of the organization.
When tasks change rapidly, it is impossible to institute standardization and formalized procedures. Instead, tasks should be mutually adjusted, so that each subtask is balanced with other subtasks.
When tasks are stable, tasks should be standardized and formalized, so that operations can run smoothly without breakdowns.


    6- Strategic Plan:

a) Goal:

NEEVAH’S goal is to empower special children to take care of themselves, and eventually help them become self-sufficient / independent in their life. We will train them for different professions so they could earn handsome income.

i. Objectives:

§ The main objective of the organization is to help special children in order to improve the quality of life.
§ To ensure their active participation and involvement in each activity and protect their fundamental rights living in a society.
§ To acquire properties by lawful means for the expansion of the organizational activities.
§ To train them for different professions like teaching, online earning, painting etc which goes best with their capabilities and interest.
b) Operational Strategies:

4.1 Finance:
4.1.1.1Raising fund:

       a.     Establish relationships formal or informal with local NGOs or from International NGOs to
             get aid.

       b.   Through local networks advertisement e.g. Govt. newspapers, radios, TV etc.

       c.     Through membership fee of the members.

       d.   By distributing brochures to the general public for raising fund.

       e.    Welfare concerts can be conducted to raise fund.

       f.    People can deposit their Zakat, Sadqat, khairat to finance this noble cause.

       g.   A website will be established for those who are off shore and want to donate for this cause.


                                                  4.1.1.2Budgeting and Allocations:


       Budgeting and allocation will be decided in the meeting and report will be forwarded to CFO
       to proceed further into the matter. Hence he/she will make Strategies and plans for allocation of  
       funds where it is necessary e.g. purchase of new building, taxpaying, health & education, 
       interviews, events etc. But a rough idea of all the required thing is given below.

       Budgeting:

   Capital:-
   It is necessary for the opening of NGO to estimate and to collect the Capital amount through 
    membership fees, donations, charities, advertisements etc.

   Land:-
       Land is the basic necessity of NGO. The purchase of land is necessary for opening the NGO.     
       Without land NGO cannot be created, so budgeting of land is necessary and the area of land
       should be clearly mentioned.

   Building:-
       After purchasing the land, it is necessary for NGO to build buildings so that the working of NGO
       can be done in the building and it would be an asset for the NGO. So budgeting of buildings is
       necessary and it should be mentioned in budget that how many buildings should be created.

  Labor:-
      Creating of buildings can be done with the help of labor. It should be budgeted that how many
      labor are working to build the buildings and what wages should be given to the labor.

 Hospital Building and Equipment:-
 The budget of Hospital building and hospital equipment should also be mentioned in budgeting  
 that how many area of hospital is covering the land and what kind of equipment is been used by 
 the hospital.

 Class Rooms and Staff Rooms:-
 In budgeting it is clearly mentioned that how many class rooms and how many staff rooms should be build and what kind of material is being used in the class rooms and staff rooms.

 and how many tables are required for the students and what kind of material is been used in chairs
 and tables and the cost of per table and chair.

 Vehicles:-
 Vehicles are also an asset for NGO. While budgeting in NGO it is necessary that some kind of 
 transport is necessary for the students and for the staff. So the amount of per vehicle is budgeted
 and it should also be budgeted that how many vehicles are required in NGO.

 Staff Salary:-
 Staff Salary is also budgeted in NGO. Total staff member are counted and the salary on which
 they are appointed are calculated.

 Utility Bills:-
 Utility bills like Electricity, Gas, Telephone, Water etc are budgeted before opening of the NGO. 
 It should be clearly mention in budget that how many Electric and Gas meter are present and how
 many Telephone line are working.

 Printing Postage and Stationery:
 In NGO printing postage and stationery is required and the budgeting on these items is also 
 necessary.

 P.O.L Charges:-
 In NGO, where vehicles are required then the availability of petrol, oil and lubricant is also
 required and we know that vehicles use P.O.L and budgeting of P.O.L is necessary.



Allocation:
Staff Salaries:-
After budgeting, the fund is allocated for the staff salaries. The staff members who are working into the NGO get the salary from that fund.
Utility Bills:-
The utility bills are deposited by the NGO through those fund raising money.
Printing and Stationery:-
The fund raised money was allocated for the printing and stationery purpose because printing of documents and stationery is required in NGO.

Land and Building:-
This is the main part of NGO on which the fund raising was allocated. The main function of fund raising is that to purchase the land and build building.

Class Rooms and Staff Rooms:-
The fund is allocated in class room and staff rooms where the students study and the teachers relax themselves for the next period.

Tables and Chairs:-
Tables and chairs are necessary in NGO and when fund is raised they are brought into the NGO and provided to the students to sit on it and study.

                               
                              4.1.1.3Development and maintenance of account:
