    Week 01- A- Why Materials Management?

    Materials are the key resources in anyenterprise as no production is possiblewithout materials.

    Materials form the major constituent of thecost of product. Hence a proper control overtheir procurement, storage, issue, movement

    and consumption becomes essential.The above are achieved through effective

    materials management.

    Definition of Materials Management

    (1) Planning and control of the kind, amount,location, movement and timing of thevarious materials used in and/or produced

    in an enterprise.(2) Concerned with all activities of

    management such planning, organizing,

    directing, controlling and coordinating,related to materials.

    Significance of Materials Management

    Materials offer maximum scope of cost reduction andprofit movement and is aptly described as the lastGold Mine for the business manager.

    An illustration

    Suppose a company X Limited has a turnover of Rs10,00,000/-. Its total cost amounts to Rs 9,00,000/-,

    which includes materials cost of Rs 5,00,000/-. Theprofit earned by a company is Rs 1,00,000/-, which

    works out to 10% on turnover. If the companyachieves a savings of 5% in materials cost, other costsremaining same, what would be the profit of the

    company? 5

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    6/282

    Profit at 10% on Rs 10,00,000 = Rs 1,00,000

    Savings in materials cost = Rs 5,00,000 x 0.05 = Rs25,000 Profit= Rs 1,00,000 + Rs. 25,000 = Rs 1,25,000 Hence, 5% reduction in materials cost is equivalent to

    25% increase in profit.

    Further, the return on investment (ROI) depends to alarge extent on the manner of utilization of materials. ROI= (Profit/sales) x (Sales/fixed assets +current

    assets) Fixed assets constitute capital already sunk and only

    scope for improving the return on investment lies inthe efficient management of materials whichconstitute the bulk of current assets.

    Centralized versus decentralized structure

    A. Centralized arrangement

    Refer to the procurement of the requirements of allthe departments of the firm or all plants by a centralpurchase department.

    What are the Merits?(a) Consistency in buying policies

    - Possible since all purchase contracts and relateddecisions are taken by one department.

    (b) Economy in buying- Achieved due to better bargaining on price, terms

    and conditions with vendors, and reduction intransport costs, etc on account of large scale

    purchasing. 28

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    29/282

    (c) Uniformity in purchase records

    - Possible since one department handles all purchases.

    (d) Economy in maintenance of records- Because of the fewer purchase indents, fewer receipts,

    and fewer payments

    (e) Reduction in handling and storage costs

    - Due to centralization of receiving, inspection andstorage.

    (f) Specializations

    - Achieved by performing a particular purchasefunction.

    (g) Reduced number of contacts with the companys

    vendors 29

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    30/282

    B. Decentralized arrangement

    Refers to the system of procurement of

    requirements of the different divisions ordifferent plants by local buying sectionattached to the divisions or situated at the

    plant concerned, and vested with all thepowers of a purchase department.

    The merits are

    (a) Individual buyers react rapidly to changes inrequirements of the divisions/plants to whichthey are attached.

    30

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    31/282

    (b) Local buyers can render greater assistance totheir respective divisions

    - By providing information on probable prices,deliveries and quality of materials to theconcerned department.

    (c) Senior executive in charge of the plant/division can be held responsible

    - For production cost attributable to the buyer

    as the buyer is under the control of the seniorexecutive.

    31

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    32/282

    Factors determining organization

    structure of Materials Department

    (a)Complexity of operations i.e.

    quantity and variety of items to bepurchased.

    Multi-plants /multi-divisions

    organization structure Centralized structure is preferred in case of company

    having different manufacturing divisions or closelylocated plants.

    Each division has its own purchase manager tocoordinate the activities of the division and allpurchase manages in turn are responsible to the headof the materials department.

    Combination of centralized and decentralizedconcept works better when companys variousdivisions manufacture diversified products with a fewor no common items.

    36

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    37/282

    Under this set up, each division has its own separatematerials department under the control of the head

    of the division with a centralized agency tocoordinate the activities and direct policies of thelocal purchase officer.

    Centralized agency undertakes contract buying ofimportant materials while the local buyers to placeorders for miscellaneous items fom local suppliers.

    Centralized agency undertakes market research of all

    divisions. Decentralized set up is preferred in organizations

    having more than one plant/ division geographicallylocated in different places in the country.

    Purchase Management and Engineering

    Engineering is usually responsible for

    preparing technical specifications formaterials and equipments.

    As specifications determine the cost,

    specifications adopted by engineering mustspecify materials that are both economical toprocure and economical to fabricate.

    Only those materials which are easily availableshould be prescribed since scarcity andproprietary materials push costs.

    51

    S b tit t t i l d b li

    Purchasing Management Purchasing is procurement of raw materials,

    components, tools, consumables, and servicesrequired for the manufacture of products,maintenance of machines, and uninterrupted

    running of the manufacturing plant. Purchasing is the process of facilitating

    marketing of the companys products in the

    quantities desired, at the time promised and ata competitive price consistent with the qualitydesired.

    In essence, purchasing is the task of buyinggoods of right quality, in the right quantities, at

    the right time and the right price.The emphasis has to be more on locating,

    selecting, developing and retaining right kind

    of suppliers.Growing Significance of purchase function

    Traditionally, purchase was regarded as one of

    the activities of production management. In today's environment, it is considered as one

    of the major functions in business.

    64/282

    Why Purchasing is becoming significant?1. Higher cost of goods and services

    (a) Raw materials, components and services accountfor as much as 50 to 60% of the companys totalexpenditure.

    (b) Mere one percent savings in material cost can give

    benefit equivalent to eight to nine percent rise insales volume.

    2. High cost of stock outs

    (a) Lack of continuity in the availability of materialsseriously affects the profitability of the company.

    (b) Financial losses due to stock out of materialsparticularly in continuous process industriesintensive industries can be enormous.

    64

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    65/282

    3. Higher cost of capital

    (a)Around 70% of the working capitalgets locked up in the inventory of rawmaterials, work in progress, finishedgoods, spares, etc.

    (b)Thus, no organization can afford toinvest such a big part of its capital inthe stocks.

    (c) Bulk of these stocks can be reducedand the capital lock-up can be avoidedif purchasing is made efficient.

    65

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    66/282

    4. Purchase is not just buying

    (a) In modern context, purchasing includemany materials related activities such asmarket research, vendor rating,standardization and variety reduction,

    codification, indent control, surplusdisposal, pre-purchase value analysis, pricenegotiations, inventory control, purchasebudgets, import substitution, purchasesystem design etc.

    66

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    67/282

    5. Changing nature of purchase

    (a) Purchasing is becoming more of a techno-commercial activity rather than a purecommercial function.

    6. Professionalization of materials function

    (a) Various management concepts such as ABCanalysis, economic lot size, varietyreduction, codification, value analysis,

    vendor rating etc has given an improvedstatus to materials management inbusiness.

    67

    7 Changing concept of buyer seller relations

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    68/282

    7. Changing concept of buyer-seller relations

    (a) Old concept that a supplier is dependent

    upon buyer and he can be made to performthe way a buyer desires no longer existsnow.

    (b) To ensure continuity in availability ofmaterials with lowest inventory investment ,buyer must be good at business relations.

    (c) With increasing competition, retention ofgood suppliers is becoming difficult andhence buying function is becomingchallenging day by day.

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    85/282

    1. For off-the-shelf materials, telephonic quotationsare obtained from the vendors and a verbal order isgiven to a supplier whose terms are found to be

    better than others.(a) To regularize the transaction, a formal purchase

    order is sent later.

    (b) Sometimes, placing the blanket orders are alsoconsidered.

    2. Where the prices fluctuate from time to time, aninquiry is sent to probable sources and quotations

    are received from the suppliers.(a) A comparative statement is prepared from thequotations received from the suppliers and landedcost arrived at, leading to provisional selection of a

    particular source. 85

    (b) Vendors are then called for negotiations andi f fi li d i h h

    93/282

    Pre delivery follow up is required to

    To remind the supplier of the due date, and

    To obtain advance information of expecteddelays.

    Pre-delivery follow-up enables buyer

    To make alternate arrangement if the supplieris expected to fail in the delivery commitmentby requesting other source for an early

    delivery.To decide on an alternate mode of

    transportation for delivery from suppliers.

    93

    Methods used for follow-up are

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    94/282

    Phone call to local suppliers at a set period prior todue date.

    Letters to outside supplier typed and signed by thebuyer, preferably by the Head of MaterialsDepartment.

    Regular visits, particularly to new suppliers to review

    progress.Shortage chasing Universally accepted vital part of

    purchase follow-up. The objectives are:

    To obtain the shortage materials as soon as possible,and

    To create feeling that this company wants qualitydeliveries and that too, in time thereby preventing

    future recurrences. 94

    Approach to the shortage chasing

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    95/282

    pp oach to the sho tage chasing

    In case of suppliers of proprietary materialsnothing much may be possible except requestingthem to expedite and take care in future supplies.

    During negotiations, the cost implication should beexplained to the supplier in case of any sucheventuality.

    Suppliers performance should be measuredregularly and their ratings be communicated onperiodic basis.

    (1) Suppliers with A and B ratings should beencouraged.

    95

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    96/282

    (1) Those with C and D ratings should becoaxed to improve their delivery

    performance and those who fail to improveeven after repeated warnings should beblacklisted and removed.

    (2) Those below D ratings should be removedfrom vendor base.

    New sources should be developed and moreorders should be given to these new sources.

    Regular meetings between the seniormanagers and the suppliers should beorganized to discuss the problems.

    96

    F. Receiving and Inspection

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    97/282

    Materials in the receiving department arereceived against certain specific documentsdepending upon the mode of dispatch andgeographical location of the supplier.

    In case of domestic supplier, the materials are

    received along with the delivery challan andL/R or R/R.

    In case of imports, the materials are received

    along with the packing list, Bill of Entry andthe B/L or AWB.

    97

    Traditionally, all supplies are subjected toi ti d t ti It th t h d

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    98/282

    inspection and testing. Items that are purchased onthe basis of Brand Name do not require detailed

    inspection. Only visual inspection is adequate. Critical items requiring specialized measuring

    instruments are inspected at the vendors plantprior to dispatch.

    Quite often, materials are inspected on receipt bythe inward inspection at the buyers works for oneor more of the following checks.

    (1) Conformance to dimensions(2) Conformance to materials specifications

    (3) Conformance to performance98

    Conformance to dimensions

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    99/282

    Conformance to dimensions

    - Checked against component drawings.

    - Components are subjected to both visual as well asdimensional checks with gauges and other measuringinstruments.

    Conformance to material specifications

    - Checked with the help of chemical and metallurgicaltests.

    - Small samples of materials are forwarded to thelaboratories for checking hardness, material

    composition, microstructure and other properties.

    99

    Conformance to performance

    h k d h b f d l

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    100/282

    - Checked on the basisof tests and trial runs e.g.machinability tests for raw materials, life tests

    for bearings, r.p.m. tests for motors, burstingstrength for corrugated cartons.

    A Goods Receipt Inward Note (GRIN) is

    handed over to the inspection or concerneddepartment.

    The inspector checks receipted materials andaffixes the stamp Accepted or Rejected onthe GRIN.

    A copy of GRIN is sent to the supplier.

    100

    G. Storage and Record Keeping

    f h d d

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    101/282

    After inspection, the goods are segregated intoaccepted/ rejected, or rework categories.

    Only accepted quantity is forwarded to the stores. The quantity is physically verified and then

    entered into kardex/ ledgers or bin cards andthereafter issue is allowed.

    H. Invoicing and Payment

    Invoices are raised on receipt of GRINs enablingthe supplier to know the exact quantity ofmaterials accepted by the buyer.

    101

    The invoices are linked with the necessary papersthereby avoiding delays in payments.

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    102/282

    thereby avoiding delays in payments.

    Need to raise credit or debit notes for discrepancies

    in quantities due to rejections are avoided. Reconciliation statements are easy to prepare.

    The work of handling invoices may be carried outeither by accounts department or purchase

    department.I. Scrutiny of invoices

    Suppliers invoices are sent to accounts departmentwhere they are sorted out according to suppliers

    and the payment due date. GRNs are received and supplier's invoice file is

    reviewed daily to link incoming GRNs andsuppliers invoices.

    102

    Missing GRNs and missing invoices are investigated

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    103/282

    g g gat the end of each accounting period and thereceiving department (for GRNs) or the suppliers (forinvoices) are asked to furnish the same.

    Invoices that are found linked up with GRNs aretaken up further for verification in respect of price,

    sales tax, transport charges, discounts etc against thepurchase order while quantity is checked againstGRN.

    Arithmetic calculations are also checked to ensurecorrectness of invoice amount, invoice is stamped for

    verification, countersigned by the authorized personand is passed for payment.

    103

    J. Journal entries

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    104/282

    Verified invoices are entered in purchase register,supplier wise, called purchasejournal.

    Each invoices prior to its entry in the purchasejournal is allotted a serial number called JE No.

    K. Effecting payment

    The purchasejournal is reviewed periodically, sayweekly, and the accountant is informed of theinvoices, which are due for payment.

    Cheques are drawn to effect the payments on duedates.

    104

    furniture etc.(c) To cover immediate requirements of a stock out

    item caused either due to delay in delivery fromregularly suppliers or due to increase inconsumption.

    (d) To cover immediate requirements of items whoseprices are expected to fall in near future.

    109

    (e) Procurement of replacement spares.

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    110/282

    (f) Items having limited shelf life and are normallynot stocked for fear of perishability.

    (g) Items that are bulky and need a lot of storagespace e.g. wooden boxes as packing materials,thermocol sheets, cotton waste etc.

    B. Scheduled Buying Materials are procured in a staggered deliveries

    according to the delivery schedule furnished to thesupplier by the buyer.

    110

    The characteristics are

    (1) A purchase order covering annual

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    111/282

    (1) A purchase order covering annualrequirements or alternatively a purchase

    order without specifying the order quantitycalled open order is placed.

    (2) The supplier is given the estimate of the

    procurement needs covering a mutuallyagreed period of time.

    (3) Commonly, 2-3 months confirmed scheduleand 2-3 months tentative schedule is given.

    (4) Monthly deliveries are specified especiallywhen supplier has set up productionfacilities particularly for the buyer.

    111

    The system is best suited for

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    112/282

    Items of regular use such as oils,lubricants,

    castings and forgings etc. Items produced to buyers specifications and

    requiring long lead-time to manufacture.

    Proprietary items from suppliers wh insist onlong-term schedules.

    C. Market Purchasing

    Procurement of sufficient quantity of an

    item in advance of its need, and at a timewhen prices are low or expected to rise; alsoknown as Forward buying

    112

    The characteristics are

    ( ) P h d d i

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    113/282

    (a) Purchases are made to cover productionrequirements for a considerable period.

    (b) Quantity purchased is generally large.

    (c) Market is generally favourable for negotiations.

    (d) Purchases are made when prices ar low and buyer

    also gets discounts on large purchases. The purchase department must keep updated on

    market conditions, prices and changing trends.

    High inventory carrying charges and deteriorationshould be constantly balanced against priceadvantage.

    113

    Forward buying is best suited for

    Non perishable items

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    114/282

    Non-perishable items

    Items of steady and regular consumption.

    Materials such as coal, steel, coke, bought out partsthat are less susceptible to radical changes inspecifications.

    Seasonal items

    Pre-budget purchases.

    D. Speculative Buying

    Refers to buying large requirements of an item when

    its price is low with intention to sell bulk of it at ahigher price for speculative profits.

    114

    The characteristics are:

    (a) Purchases may not be related to the companys

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    115/282

    (a) Purchases may not be related to the company sproduction programme. A particular material,

    which is not even required for production mayalso be purchased.

    (b) Buying does not base decisions on quantity as itssole aim is to make speculative profits. Thus,

    quantity purchased is generally high and is asmuch as the company finance can permit to buy.

    (c) The speculative buying is really not a function ofpurchase department and it should be ordinarily

    discouraged.

    115

    E. Contract Buying

    Purchasing made under a formal contract in

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    116/282

    Purchasing made under a formal contract inwhich the delivery of materials is frequently

    spread over a period of time. The characteristics are:

    (a) Contract are given to suppliers for large amount offuture requirements or for a certain time frame

    usually a year.(b) Quantity received per delivery is generally small.

    The cycle time between two consecutive receiptsmay be a week, fortnight or a month. The period

    would depend upon the value of requirements.

    116

    Merits of contract buying

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    117/282

    It saves company from the trouble of

    inviting quotations, preparingcomparative statements, placing oforders, etc which in turn reduces the

    procurement expenses.The buyers company is assured of

    regularity in supply despite market

    fluctuations.

    117

    The buyer needs to keep very little inventoryd f t t k th b d i th ki

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    118/282

    and safety stock thereby reducing the workingcapital lock up and cost of carrying inventoryto the barest minimum.

    Prices and other terms of contract are generallyfavourable to the parties involved.

    The buyer can plan his requirement of financeas he has an advance idea as to when and whatamount he has to pay to his vendor.

    118

    Week 04 B Types of Contracts

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    119/282

    yp Contract buying is of three types:

    (a) Rate Contract The rate is fixed and not the quantity.

    However, some tentative requirements are given.

    (b) Running contract Rate and quantity both are fixed for the contract

    period.

    As soon as the vendor supplies the specifiedquantity, the contract automatically comes to anend.

    119

    (c)Service contract

    b d d ll

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    120/282

    Various services are obtained periodically.

    Suitability of contract buying Contract buying is suited to the procurement of

    materials and production items of regular use.

    Service contract may be entered into for getting

    periodical services such as servicing of computers,air-conditioners, water filters, fire-fightingequipments, cleaning of boilers etc., repairs orcalibration of measuring instruments, pressuregauges etc.

    120

    F. Tender Buying

    Government departments and public sector

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    121/282

    Government departments and public sectorundertakings in India follow this method of

    buying. A few large-scale private organizations too aopt

    tender buying.

    Characteristics of the system are

    (1) The buying department establishes a list of biddersand invites a written bid to be submitted by them.

    (2) Bids are evaluated by comparing and the right

    supplier is selected.(3) Lowest price is the criteria used except when thelowest price supplier is not able to commit to thedelivery schedule, quality and is poor on reliability

    or financial stability 121

    Merits and Demerits are:

    (1) Purchasers most important single tool to select

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    122/282

    (1) Purchaser s most important single tool to selectqualified supplier on the basis of competitive

    prices.(2) Eliminates possibility of favouritism , patronage

    and personal preference.

    (3) Costly, and time consuming and hence used by

    large private sector undertakings only when valueof purchases is high.

    The responsibility of buying department:

    For each new product, material or service, a buyermust obtain quotations from at least threepotential suppliers.

    122

    Past performance of old supplier must be takeninto account while deciding on the contract of a

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    123/282

    gnew item.

    Buyers should guard against such suppliers whosubmit extremely low quotations initially andincrease their prices later.

    The bids should be evaluated considering the

    capabilities of the competing firms. Types of Tenders

    123

    (1) Limited or closed tender

    An enquiry is sent to limited number of suppliers

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    124/282

    q y ppand bids are received in response.

    All registered suppliers are mailed enquiry from thebuyer.

    (2) Open tender

    The enquiry is advertised in the newspapers or

    periodicals or trade journals of the home countryand bids are received in response.

    Encourages unlimited competition by publicizingthe enquiry.

    124

    Used for items, which are required in large value/volume and/or difficult to procure

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    125/282

    volume and/or difficult to procure.

    (3) Global tender

    Enquiry is advertised in the newspapers and tradejournals of not only the home country but also in theforeign countries and bids are received in response.

    Used for purchasing involving huge investments suchas procurement of plant and machinery.

    Used for purchases that are both capital intensiveand technical.

    125

    G. Seasonal Buying

    Buying of the annual requirements of an item

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    126/282

    Buying of the annual requirements of an itemduring its season.

    Used for materials available in particular season onlysuch as items required for food industries.

    Need to be purchased and stocked in sufficientquantities till the next season e.g. oranges,

    sugarcane, apples etc. Materials are normally purchased at the cheaper

    rates.

    Usually purchases are made directly frommanufacturers/ producers of goods.

    Suitable for materials that are either of purelyseasonal nature or which show marked pricefluctuation during off-season.

    126

    H. Sub-contracting

    f h f f f

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    127/282

    Hiring of another firm to perform some of

    the manufacturing operations or to providecertain parts and sub-assemblies to beincorporated into the buyers end product.

    Types of sub-contracting

    (1) Company makes some quantity of the finalproduct an buys balance from outside.

    Happens when company receives big orders

    but is unable to supply the full quantitywithin the contracted period.

    127

    (2) The company gets certain operations likel t l ti h t t t t i di d

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    128/282

    electroplating, heat treatment, grinding and

    finishing etc done from others because eitherit does not have necessary manufacturingfacilities or its present facilities areinadequate.

    128

    When to undertake sub-contracting ?

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    129/282

    g

    Product involves number of components requiring

    different types of machines. Specialized operations are called for certain

    components and the same are not available with the

    buyers firm. Shortage of capacity that cannot be made good

    immediately.

    Comparative economies of cost to manufacture the

    part at the companys own plant versus cost of sub-contracting justifies procurement from sub-contractors.

    129

    Why proximity of the sub-contactors to the buyersplant ?

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    130/282

    p

    Transportation cost, both of men and materials is

    less. Follow up is easy and less costly.

    Buyer can have better control on suppliers qualitythat gets facilitated by periodical visits and

    feedback.Responsibilities of the buying department

    1. Must work out a detailed quality assurance system,complete manufacturing process and inspectioncriteria with the sub-contractor.

    130

    Manufacturing process must include sequenceof operations

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    131/282

    of operations.

    Inspection criteria should include rawmaterials inspection, in-process inspectionand finished product inspection.

    Inspection criteria should also includeinstruments to be used during inspection ateach selected inspection points in themanufacturing process.

    Week 05 ACentral PurchaseOrganization

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    132/282

    A large firm in the public or private sector may

    have decentralized stores at different places. The purchases can be made in either of the

    following ways.

    1. Each store to make its own purchases.

    2. A central stores to make purchases and supplymaterials in turn to different stores.

    Advantages of central stores purchase

    (1) Quantity discounts, lower rates, and bettercontractual terms due to large purchases thatresult from consolidating the requirements ofindividual stores.

    132

    (2) Better control on consumption thereby

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    133/282

    minimizing the risk of malpractices.

    (3) A single direct contact with themanufacturer for obtaining materials as perthe specifications becomes possible.

    Typical examples are State Road TransportCorporations such as MSRTC, GSRTC, etc.,Nationalized Banks, and Co-operative Banks

    etc.

    134

    Purchasing Capital Equipment

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    135/282

    g p q p Purchase of major capital equipment, plant and

    machinery differs substantially from other routinepurchases of production materials, MRO inventoriesand spares which are occasionally required forreplacement.

    Capital equipments are characterized by their non-repetitive nature and, therefore, one-time inventory,

    which form the fixed capital asset of the company

    installed to earn revenue. They are charged as capital expenditure and

    depreciated over a fixed period for recovery ofinvestment and replacement.

    135

    As compared to stocks and stores, they involve aninvestment of a large amount of money and also a

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    136/282

    investment of a large amount of money and also alonger duration.

    Capital equipment purchases are decided at top-management level, and generally, a committee isformed represented by: production, finance,

    engineering , design and purchase managers. The recommendations of the committee are

    forwarded to top-management and when finallyapproved, they are pushed to purchase management

    level for necessary action and final procurement.

    136

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    137/282

    Capital goods are those that are not bought or sold as a regular courseof the business

    Used for over 1 year, depreciated

    Examples

    design of equipment and buildings, real estate purchase,

    enterprise wide hardware and software

    137

    Components for Decision Making

    (a) Negotiating Time

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    138/282

    (a) Negotiating Time

    With the increase in the number of contacts andavailable alternative sources, negotiating time variesgreatly and generally it is greater than for otherpurchases.

    (b) Source availability Due to specific and stringent requirements of

    engineering and design features, sources quiteoften are limited.

    Therefore, purchase decisions would be based onthe requirements.

    138

    (c) Quantum of investment

    Since this criterion greatly influences manufacturingbili il bili f fi d h f i l

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    139/282

    capability, availability of finance and the cost of capitalweighs more with top management.

    (d) Lead-time requirement

    Keeping in view the operating characteristics andengineering features, special plant and machinery are

    custom built . Therefore, they require longer lead time than standard

    equipment, plant and machinery.

    (e) Evaluation of bids

    Operating characteristics and engineering features

    Rate of obsolescence in the industry

    Economic analysis of the proposal.

    139

    Operating characteristics and engineering features

    Generally the production department or the user

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    140/282

    Generally the production department or the userdepartment establishes the need and defines the

    functions which form the basis of its performancecharacteristics and design features.

    Selection is done on the basis of one which is best

    suited to the existing process.Rate of obsolescence

    In many industries the rate of obsolescence is muchhigher due to technological advancement and

    innovations. In such cases, rate of expected return on investment

    has to be higher .

    140

    Economicanalysis of the investment proposal

    Depends upon the number of acceptable offers

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    141/282

    Depends upon the number of acceptable offersavailable in the market for the same kind of

    equipment and machines.

    Initial cost involved may not always be the decidingfactor.

    The cost of operation as well as the cost ofmaintenance have to be weighed.

    The cost of operation can be more accuratelyestimated, but the cost of maintenance beingsubjective in nature, cannot be accurately gauged.

    Therefore, it is included in the cost of operation forthe purpose of economic analysis of the total cost.

    141

    (a) Payback period method

    M i l d id l d h i h l h

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    142/282

    Most simple and widely used, wherein the length

    of the time required for cash inflow as a result ofinvestment is calculated.

    The shorter the payback period, the better theinvestment from economic viewpoint.

    (b) Return on investment

    In this method return on investment is stressed.

    There can be two methods to calculate ROI.

    (1) Return on investment is calculated on the actualvalue of original outlay.

    142

    (2) Calculated on the average value of the investmenti.e. mean of original value over the time period plus

    d l l h d f f l lif

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    143/282

    expected salvage value at the end of useful life.

    (c) Internal rate of returnA procedure is established to find out a rate of

    interest that will make the present value of cashproceeds expected from the investment to equate thepresent value of investment.

    The rate of discount, when applied to the future cashinflows, will equate the original value of the

    investment. This is also known as discounted rate of return or

    yield method.

    Average revenue Rs 12000

    Initial Investment in machine is 100000/-

    Salvage value is Rs 5000

    Thus payback is .

    Return on Investment is Profit / investment =12000/10000

    return on avg investment = avg invetsment is Rs100000/10 = 10000

    145

    10000 x 8. 3 (payback) = 83000

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    146/282

    Add 5000

    Hence 83000 + 5000 = 88000

    Hence 12000/88000 = 13.6 %

    Discounted Cash Flow:

    147

    (d) Discounted cash flow (DCF) method

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    148/282

    It takes into account differences of times when

    revenues are generated from an investment. In using present value concept in evaluating an

    investment , all future revenues are discounted in

    order to find out the total present value of the futureearnings and compared with the present value of theinvestment.

    Thus, if it is found that the total present value of the

    future revenues is greater than the present value ofinvestment , then it is worthwhile to invest in theequipment or the machine, otherwise not.

    148

    Presentvalue simply means a rupee earned today isworth more than a rupee earned in future.

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    149/282

    Similarly, it means a rupee earned in future years is

    less than a rupee earned today..

    Week 05 B Purchasing versus Leasing

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    150/282

    Capital equipments are often available on lease and

    rent basis.

    The need of leasing of capital equipment arises due to

    short period requirements and non-availability of funds.

    When the equipment is urgently required, it is easier toget it on lease.

    Purchase involves procedural delay and needs

    immediate release of funds.

    150

    The points to be considered when lease to be

    resorted to instead of purchasing.

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    151/282

    1. When equipment is needed for shorter period.

    - It is most economical method of procurement.

    - As lease agreements can be terminated at a short

    notice.

    2. When the technology is fast changing and because ofresultant obsolescence the particular equipment

    becomes less efficient.

    3. In case of a lease, the lessee bears the dismantling

    charges including transportation on its return as well

    as the installation charges

    151

    - Whereas in purchase, the equipment is almost alwayssold at delivered price, unless specifically mentioned

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    152/282

    in the purchase contract.

    4. In case of lease, lease-rent is treated as revenueexpense for tax purposes, whereas in case ofpurchase it is treated as capital expenditure to bedepreciated over years of useful life.

    5. In case of a lease, lessor retains control over theequipment during lease period.

    152

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    153/282

    Advantages Of Leasing:1) Lease rentals become expenses for income tax purposes.

    2) There is a smaller initial outlay

    3) Obsolescence risk is reduced.

    4) Expert services are available

    5) A test period is generally provided before purchase

    6) The burden of investment is shifted to the supplier

    Disadvantage;

    1) Less freedom of control and use

    153

    Import Procedure

    First the point to be checked is if the item is allowed to be imported .

  • 7/31/2019 Materials Management SIMSR Latest

    154/282

    p p

    To check from local manufacturers if they are in a position to supply. If

    not a written statement to be presented to the government . Thengovernment will clear.

    Steps

    1) Locating the foreign source Of Supply - to be done throughMinistry of Trade and Commerce, Consulates, Trade attaches etc

    2) Procurement Of the Item- At this stage the importing firm isinvolved with the foreign source of supply, his own user departmentsand governmental agencies like DGTD

    From a sellers view point, ex works offersmaximum protection, in that the liability and all

    transportation costs are transferred to the

    buyer at the sellers origin dock- at the plant

    door.

    A buyer would normally prefer delivered duty

    paid where the seller is basically handling all

    the risks and costs of the shipment to the final

    destination.

    157

    Ex Works (EXW named place)

    - The seller makes the goods available at the named place, usually

    the sellers docks

    - The buyer is responsible for all costs and risks involved in takingthe goods from the named place to the destination.

    - The INCOTERM provides minimum risk for the seller.

    Free Carrier (FCA named place)

    - The seller fulfills his/her duties when the goods cleared forexport, are given to the carrier chosen by the buyer at the named

    place.

    - The named place is domestic for the seller

    - The buyer assumes risk at the point of exchange and pays for allfreight.

    158
