EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In any industry various types of equipment are installed and various types of material used so, we need of their spare. For reducing the production losses & problem solving in minimum time. If we found the problem but we don‟t have any spare then there is a big time loss & production is also very affected. In this my project shows how material is managed properly in a organization

for

better production & organization growth.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

 INTRODUCTION  DEFINING THE RESEARCH PROBLEM  RESEARCH PROCESS  RESEARCH DESIGNS  DATA COLLECTION  RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS  PREPARATION OF THE RESEARCH REPORT

12

INTRODUCTION Today is changing dynamic field to functional area of management of increasingly important as compared to other fields. Information in life is important as any research report, which keeps the management in minimizing the risk & uncertainty through systematic decision-making.

“Research is a systematic & objectives for analysis of information relevant to the identification & solution of any problem in any field.”

Research comprises defining & redefining problems, formulating hypothesis or suggested solutions, collecting, organizing & evaluating data, making deduction & reaching conclusions to determine whether they the formulating the hypothesis.

Research seeks answers to certain questions which have not been answered so far & which depend upon human efforts. It seeks to only those questions of which the answer can be given based on this data.

Research is devoted to find the condition under which a certain phenomenon occur & the conditions under which it does not occur in similar circumstances. The term research 13

contains of two words Re+ Search. “Re” means again & “Search” means to find out something new. Thus, research is the process of which a person observes the phenomena again & again collects the data & based on data he draws conclusion. This is clear by the following:OBSERVES PERSON AGAIN & AGAIN

COLLECTION OF DATA PHENOMENA

CONCLUSION

ANALYSIS OF DATA

Thus, research means to observes the phenomena again & again from different dimensions. For example, one finds many theories of learning due to the observation from different dimensions.

DEFINITION 1) “Research is a point of view, an attitude of inquiry or frame of mind”. R.RAOK

2) “Research is and be honest, exhaustive, intelligent searching for facts and their meanings or implication with reference to a given problem. The product or findings of a given pieces of research should be as authentic, verifiable & contribution to knowledge in the field studies.” P.M. COOK

14

OBJECTIVES OF RESEARCH METHODOLOGY The purpose of research is to discover answers to questions through the application of scientific procedures. The main aim of research is to find out the truth which is hidden and which has not been discovered as yet. i)

To gain familiarity with a phenomenon or to achieve new insights into it.

ii)

To portray accurately the characteristics of a particular individual, situation or a group.

iii)

To determine the frequency with which something occurs or with which it is associated with something else.

iv) To test a hypothesis of a causal relationship between variables.

TYPES OF RESEARCH

1) DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH

Descriptive research design is also called explanatory design. The descriptive study is typically concerned with determining frequency with which something occurs or how two variables vary together. It describes the characteristic of certain groups, e.g. users of a product with different age, sex, education, etc. It 15

estimates the proportion of people in a specified population. Descriptive research includes survey & facts finding enquires of different kinds. The major purpose of descriptive research is descriptive of the state of affairs as it exits at present. It is rigid & formal. Two basic types of research design used in descriptive research are.

a) Case research design

It can be carried out in the areas such as a survey consumer attitude toward a new product concept or it may be conducted in a library by the survey of available secondary data. But it is generally used for collecting cases

b) Statistical design

The statistical method involves study of a few factors in a larger number of cases.

2) EXPLORATORY RESEARCH

In this research, the major emphasis is on the discovery of ideas & insights. It is helpful in breaking broad & vague problem into smaller. The exploratory study may also be used to clarify concept. It is formulating a problem for more precise, establishing priorities, gathering information, increasing the analyst‟s familiarity with 16

the problem. Exploratory study is characterized by flexibility & by flexibility & informality.

Three basic types of research design used in exploratory research are-

a) Literature surveys

One of the most economical & quickest ways to discover hypothesis is the work of others through a literature search. More useful sources of such information are books, newspapers, government documents, trade journals, professional journals & so on.

b) Experience surveys

Individuals with expertise, knowledge, & ideas about research subject may be questioned. Such people include top executives, sales mangers, other relevant people of the company in question & companies making similar products salesman, wholesalers, retailers etc. It reflects an attempt to get all available information from the people who have some particular knowledge of subject under investigation.

c) Analysis of selected cases 17

The arbitrary selection of a few extreme examples and through analyses of these. In some instances, detailed & intensive case analysis of a few Selected individual or organization may particularly be helpful in gaining ideas about possible relationship. A case study is characterized by intensive study.

3) QUALITATIVE RESEARCH

Qualitative research is concerned with qualitative phenomena i.e. relating to or involving quality or kind. This research is sciences where the aim is to discover the

phenomena

important in the behavioral

underlying emotions of human behavior.

4) APPLIED RESEARCH

Applied research aims at finding a solution for an immediate problem facing a society & industrial/ business organization.

5) EMPIRICAL RESEARCH

Empirical research relies on experience or observation alone, often

without due

18

regard for system & theory. Empirical research is appropriate when program is sought that certain variable affects other variables in some ways.

RESEARCH METHODS VERSES METHODOLOGY It seems appropriate at this juncture to explain the different between research methods and research methodology. Research methods may be understood as all those methods/techniques that are used for conduction of research. All those methods which are used by the researcher during the course of studying his research problem are termed as research methods. Since the object of research, particularly the applied research, is to arrive at a solution for a given problem, the available data and the unknown aspects of the problem have to be related to each other to make a solution possible. Keeping this in view, research methods can be put into the following three groups: i)

In the first group we include those methods which are concerned with the collection of data. These methods will be used where the data already available are not sufficient to arrive at the required solution.

ii)

The second group consists of those statistical techniques which are used for establishing relationships between the data and the unknowns.

iii)

The third group consists of those methods which are used to evaluate the accuracy of the results obtained. 19

Research Methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem. It may be understood as a science of studying how research is done scientifically. In it we study the various steps that are generally adopted by a researcher in studying his research problem along with the logic behind them. It is necessary for the researcher to know not only the research methods/techniques but also the methodology. For e.g. : an architect, who designs a building, has to consciously evaluate the basis of his decisions, i.e., he has to evaluate why and on what basis he selects particular size, number and location of doors, windows and ventilators, uses particular materials and not others and the like. He has to specify very clearly and precisely what decisions he selects and why he selects them so that they can be evaluated by others also. Thus, when we talk of research methodology we not only talk of the research methods but also consider the logic behind the methods we use in the context of our research study and explain why we are not using others so that research results are capable of being evaluated either by the researcher himself or by others.

1) ANALYSING DATA

After the data have been collected, the researcher turn to the task of analyzing them. The analysis of data required no closely related operation such as establishment of categories, the application of these categories to raw data through coding, tabulating & then drawing statistical inferences 20

DATA COLLECTION

SOURCE OF PRIMARY DATA

 Direct Observation

This method requires that the researcher should personally & directly observe the conditions & incidents of his field of study. Direct observation is the reliable method for gathering informative concerning the life, status, conduct, behavior, language, festivals, customs & traditions etc. In this observation, the observer should be absolutely detached & objective in gathering facts.

 Questionnaire

Under this method, information is gathered through questionnaire, which includes questions concerning different aspects of the subject of study, which is to be filled by the respondents.

 Schedule

These are particular type of questionnaire, which is replied by the researcher himself by questions asked to the informers. 21

 Interview

In an interview, the researchers meet people & discuss his social problems, with them & this course of discussion is gathered fact.

The researchers used sample size in his project as follows

The researcher has not used the primary data.

SOURCE OF SECONDARY DATA

 Published sources International publication U.N.O. publishes a number of journal & periodic, which are the best source of secondary data.

 Government publication The state govt. publishes data for their use that are very much accurate & reliable. 22

 Reports of communities & committees Various communities & committees of enquiry collect data that can be use by these who are investigating on the related subjects.

 Semi govt. publication Many semi- govt. publications like municipal corporation board etc. publish data pertaining to birth rate, death rate, literacy rate etc. that can be used for investigation.

 Commercial research, educational institutions, universe, organizations

etc. These institutions also conduct enquiry & publishes their report through which data can be used for investigation.

 Newspaper, magazines& letter to editors Newspapers & magazines also provides data for investigation, letters to the editor (of newspaper & magazines both) are published that can be used.

 Unpublished sources

23

Personals rewards like bibliography, diaries, letters, memories etc. form an important source of valid information in social research as a personal document.

 Official records Most of the organization maintains records of important information, which are important source of data collection for researcher.

 Other sources Many other sources like film, radio, television, public speeches etc. are some of the important source of information.

According I have define my project as follows-

As secondary data, the researcher has used magazines & officials records Of “JSPL”.

MATERIALS MANAGEMENT OF JSPL 5.1.1. Material Planning, Programming,& Indenting

Material Planning: Material planning is the scientific way of determining the requirements of raw material, components spares and other items that go into meeting the production needs within economic investment policies.

General: In order to ensure that optimum inventory levels are maintained at all times, it is necessary to plan and regulate the inflow of materials. For this purpose forecasting of future requirements has to be as accurate as possible, the indents are to be correctly prepared taking into consideration the stock and dues in and the deliveries from suppliers are to be so regulated that both excessive holding of stock and stock outs of material are avoided.

System of Material Planning: A) Plant machinery and other items for capital works b) Iron and steel 35

C)

Pipes

D) Coal tubs E)

Winding and guide ropes

F)

Power/trailing cables

G)

Cement and ac sheets

Material Programming:

The system to be followed for planning the procurement of different types of stores as explained above, incorporate time schedules for actions by various users and purchase department. The time schedules constitute programmers of action to ensure the following.

(a) Even distribution of procurement work throughout the year for all concerned.

(b) Adequate time for purchase department to arrange commencement of supply. 36

(c) Effective control on material costs.

(d) Proper timing of purchase of different types of stores to obtain maximum benefits.

(e) Adequate time for general manages and controlling offers of various stores.

(f) Even load of receipts spread over the whole year to enable proper checking, inspection and timely issues by stores depots.

(g) Correct assessment of amount required for purchase well in advance to enable accounts department to make available required funds in time.

37

MATERIAL INDENTING

While material budgets dully concurred by financial authorities act as authority for purchase action, actual purchase action will be taken only on receipt of two copies of formal indents on indent form as shown in annexure 54 by the purchasing agency from the indenters.

Types of Indents a)

Normal Indents: It is to be forwarded to purchase department for capital items & centralized/deferred revenue items and to purchase cell of respective area for decentralized and rate contract items.

b)

Emergent Indents: Emergent indents will be submitted on pink coloured indent forms only in those cases where procurement under normal circumstances cannot be awaited due to an emergency/ breakdown.

c)

Local Purchase Indents: indents for procurement by local purchase will be submitted on yellow coloured indent forms where the requirement for

38

a particular centrally procured item could not be anticipated and its purchase becomes urgent or inescapable.

CONCLUSION:

Material planning, programming & indenting are integrated functions of material management involving most of the departments of the subsidiaries and CIL headquarters. Unless every officer/section/department carries out their respective functions in time and with company objectives in mind, problems of overstocking and stock-outs cannot be tackled successfully. Timely actions by all concerned & co-ordination at different levels will ensure optimum utilization of inputs, resulting in reduction in costs and efficiency all round.

39

FIRE PREVENTION

Fire is a great destructive natural force. Majority of fires which effect materials, equipment and property are attributable to carelessness, ignorance and lack of discipline and failure to observe regulations . The prevention of fire is of vital importance and must be the concern of all. Most fires can be prevented by common sense and good discipline and it is vitally important that the highest possible standard of fire prevention is achieved and maintained so that losses by fire may be reduced to minimum..

Some Important Points to Prevent Fire: a) Smoking b) Inflammable Materials c) Grass and undergrowth d) Stacking e) Spontaneous Combustion f) Storage Of Petroleum Oil and Lubricants g) Storage of gas cylinders 53

h) Storage of rubber i) Electricity firefighting equipment j) Fire practice k) Water supply

Conclusion:

All fires have small beginning and can be effectively tackled at this stage. Firefighting equipment is readily available. Suitability, serviceability and most important the training in the use of this equipment are equally important for effective control of fires in their initial stages. The persons selected to man firefighting organizations should be carefully selected and properly trained in the use and maintenance of the firefighting equipment.

54

DISPOSAL OF STORES Disposal is a function of liquidating unnecessary Holdings in return for a price. It releases valuable storage space and locked up investment. It is Therefore, necessary to resort to disposal of unwanted holdings, with due regard to economy and administrative convenience.

Unwanted Holdings: a) Surplus serviceable equipment, stores and spare parts. b) Old and unserviceable plant , machinery and equipment. c) Second hand empties d) Scrap

55

STANDARDISATION Standardization is a process of systematization of stores, based on reduction of Varieties to a controlled workable minimum, leading to economy and efficiency. Standardization is rationalized store keeping and it has great importance in Inventory control as it leads directly to lower holdings and thereby secure a reduction in material cost, without a corresponding reduction in stock cover.

Aims of Standardization: a) To achieve economy in terms of cost, human effort and conservation of essential & scarce material. b) To ensure maximum convenience by simplification Rationalization to Increase productivity c) To adopt best possible solutions to recurring problems consistent with economy & convenience. d) To define requisite levels of quality so that practical Evaluation of quality and its attainment are made conveniently and economically.

56

Advantage of Standardization:

a) Standardizations lead to simplifications. b) Standardizations lead to specifications and variety reduction. c) Standardizations go a long way in ascertaining the best possible use of material. d) Standardizations facilitate the inter-changeability of parts and components. e) Standardizations facilitate performance evaluation. f) Standardizations lead to easier, cheaper and quality procurement of materials.

57

CLASSIFICATION OF MATERIAL

It is essential for the employees of the material department to know about the important materials being put to use in the organization. The operating Staff, particularly the storekeeper is required to make a close study of the Material during the process of storage, since he is responsible for their safe custody , meticulous handling and storing without exposing them any risk of damage , fire or pilferage. The person in charge of materials department is also responsible for classifying the material before they are sent for inspection , entered into the stock ledger and kept in different bins. Therefore there is a essential requirement to make the broad classification of material , according to their nature use & service , so that easy handling of inventory may be possible. Several items carried into a store are generally

divided into the following

major types.

58

1) Raw material :

These are the raw materials and other supplies, parts and Subassembles which the company purchases from outside sources, Namely suppliers, dealers or manufactures . These items are to be purchased and kept in stock before and during production of goods.

2) Purchased components :

These materials, other than above, purchased from the market and or used in completing a manufacturing process are called components.

3) Work-in-progress :

An inventory not finally produced but still to go to manufacturing process is called Work in progress or semi-finished goods.

4) Finished goods inventories :

59

These are complete finished products ready for sale. These products Have been manufactured or assembled from production and in process inventories.

5) MRO Inventories :

Maintenance, repairs and operating supplies which are consumed During the production process and generally do not form part of The product itself are known as MRO inventories.

6) Spares :

These are also called feed stocks .These are important inventories. The spares are governed by special policies and their problems are of special nature.

60

7) Inflammables :

Those items which are highly susceptible to fire, such as petrol diesel , kerosene , films , paints , paper etc. fall under this category.

8) Packing materials :

These includes all types of packing materials such as paper wood carvings , saw dust , straw etc.

9) Chemical :

Items like carbide, acids, etc can be classified under this category.

10) General Stores:

This category contains all those materials / items which do not Fall under any of the categories of stores.

61

CODIFICATION

Any business organization stores a large number of items, often running into thousands or lakhs. Therefore, there should be some means of identifying them. Several departments use the same item by different names and store them in different places. Codification is the process of representing each item by a number or alphabet. The digits of which indicate the group, the subordinate, the type and the dimension of the item. Sometimes the location and suppliers name are also included in the codification process. Many organizations in the government, public and private sectors, have developed their own system of codification. Thus, codification is a process of representing each item by a number, the digit of which indicates the group, the sub-group, the type, and the dimension of the item.

62

 Code for equipment  Code for spare  Code for check digit  Major class code of general consumables  Code for minor class and detail class of general consumables.  Code for SL.no of the items of general consumables.

Advantage Of Codification :

1)

Facilities in avoiding long and unwieldy description.

2)

Helps in providing accurate and logical identification.

3)

Prevents duplication.

4)

Makes standardizations of items.

5)

Reduces the varieties.

6)

Makes purchasing department more efficient.

7)

Helps in making efficient recording and accounting.

8)

Facilitates the mechanical recording.

9)

Facilitates the pricing and costing.

10) Assured production as planned and as required. 63

INVENTORY CONTROL

Inventory control is a system which ensures the provision of the required quantity of inventories of required quality at the required time with the minimum amount of capital investment. Thus, the functions of inventory control are to obtain the maximum inventory turnover with sufficient stock to meet all requirements. “Inventory control is, then, concerned with the control of the quantities or Monetary values of these items at predetermined level or within Safe limit”.

Essentials Of A Good Inventory Control System :

1) Classification & identification of inventories: The inventory includes stock of raw materials, semi-finished goods, Finished goods and components etc.

2) Standardizations & simplification of inventory: 64

For proper inventory control standardizations of material products as well as simplification of the production is necessary.

3) Adequate storage facilities:

Adequate and well organized warehouse facilities with well equipped Proper handling facilities must be there.

4) Setting different levels & reorder points:

Just to avoid the chances of over and under investment as well as running short of an item during the course of production.

5) Fixing economic reorder quantity:

In determining the economic order quantity (EOQ), the two opportunity costs, ordering costs and carrying costs should be balanced.

65

6) Adequate inventory records & reports:

Information about quantity in hand or in transit or on plants location, E.O.Q, reordering points, safety level etc. should designed in such a way that the clerical cost of maintaining these records must be kept at minimum.

7) Experienced personnel:

The last but not the least important requirement of a successful inventory Control system is the appointment of intelligent and experienced personnel in purchasing , production , and sales department.

66

Objectives of Inventory Control:

1) To minimize the financial investment in inventories:

The main objective of a system of inventory control is to minimize the capital blocked in the inventories.

2) To ensure that the value of material consumed is minimum :

The inventory control has to ensure provision of the required quantity of Material of the required quality at the required time with the minimum amount of capital.

3) To meet demand fluctuations:

Flucations in demand are a rule rather than an exception in real life Situation.

67

4) To allow flexibility in production scheduling :

The maintenance of higher level of finished goods inventory relieves the pressure on production system and gives them scheduling flexibility.

5) To reduce surplus stock:

Reduction of surplus stock is one of the essential requirements of effective inventory control.

6) To maintain the stock within the desired limit:

Inventory control facilitates in maintaining timely records of inventories of all items.

7) To protect from various types of losses:

Inventory control protects the inventories from pilferage, theft, waste loss, damages and unauthorized use . 68

8) To provide scientific base:

Inventory control provide scientific base for short-term and large-range planning of inventory requirements.

9) To standardize information on stock level:

Inventory control standardizes and centralists and centralizes information on stock levels & progress of stock issue.

69

INSPECTION OF STORES

Inspection is an essential tool of quality control of all goods and materials Purchased and received in the stores. Where there is no separate inspection Department or where that department deals only with a limited number of items of stores , the storekeeper may be required to undertake the Examination of goods for quality as well as sum total of the number of related characteristics or properties. A qualitative product should have the following:  Shape  Colour  Dimension and weight  Composition  Strength  Workmanship of finish, etc.

SAP Material Management Module

71

SAP INTRODUCTION The R/3 System consists of a number of components that are completely integrated with one another. This integration allows the various departments and units of an enterprise to share and maintain the same information. The Materials Management (MM) module is fully integrated with the other modules of the SAP System. It supports all the phases of materials management: materials planning and control, purchasing, goods receiving, inventory management, and invoice verification. PURPOSE The blueprint design for the SAP R/3 system for TEGA started on Sept 2004. The discussions between representatives of TEGA & PwC resulted in crystallizing the organisation structure and the processes that are to be configured in the SAP system. The design agreed to is documented here. The expectation is that this document, after being signed off by the process owners identified by TEGA, will be taken as the basis for all configurations required to be done in the realization stage and all development work required to go live on SAP. This document tries to achieve the following.  To spell out the scope of configuration and development work to be undertaken before SAP goes live.  To spell out the organisation structure designed for TEGA Industries Ltd. To enumerate the master data elements required for the processes.

74

Process Flow

Determination of Requirements The user department responsible is manually passing a requirement for materials to the purchasing department via Purchase Requisition. Purchase requests are generated when business runs the MRP and Request are also 75

generated based in Consumption based planning (CBP) for Production and Engg.Stores. Determination of Source of Supply The purchasing component helps the buyer determine the sources of supply. User use the determination of the source of supply to create Requests for quotation (RFQs) and then to enter quotations. User is accessing the existing Purchase Orders and Conditions in the System. Vendor Selection and Comparison of Quotations The System is capable of simulating pricing scenarios and simplifies the selection of vendors by making price comparisons between the various quotations. Purchase Order Processing The purchasing system adopts information from purchase requisition and the quotation to help to create Purchase Orders. They are also creating manual purchase order directly for stock, non-stock items, services etc. Purchase Order Monitoring The buyer monitor the processing status of the purchase order online at any time and determine whether goods or an invoice have been received for the relevant purchase order item. Goods Receipt and Inventory Management The Goods receiving requester confirms the receipt of the materials by simply entering the Purchase Order Number. The system compares the goods receipt quantity with the purchase order quantity. By specifying permissible tolerances, buyers can limit over deliveries and under deliveries of ordered materials. PURCHASING Purchasing Functionality is integrated with Inventory Management and Invoice Verification within MM. 76

77

Purchase Requisitions

Requisition documents have been classified into : • 1. Normal (Delivery date is as proposed by system based on planned delivery time, or a date after this) MRP generated requisitions will also be treated as normal PR‟s. • 2. Urgent (Required Delivery date is before the delivery date proposed by the system based on the planned delivery time) •

Release strategy applicable is determined based on the following criteria:

• 1. Document type • 2. Total Requisition value • 3. Material group • 4. Plant • 5. Requisitioner NORMAL PR – Every material code in the material master has a specified LEAD TIME and as and when a requistioner is creating a PR, system will automatically calculate the delivery date for that material as per the lead time maintained and the delivery date field will be unchangeable.

78

URGENT PR – When a requistioner require a material in lesser days other then specified the he/she will use urgent type of PR and specified their required delivery date, here the delivery date field will be changeable

Introduction of WORK FLOW

 Work flow is introduced in system for batter tracking and prompt information of the every action to the end user  Release of PR and PO will happen via WORK FLOW  Work flow will inform each and every end user about their respective action so that lead time to perform a work will be laser and the efficiency will improve

Vendor Creation Every vendor is identified with the code in SAP. It is called Vendor master record. Vendor master record contains details of     

Address Payment terms Delivery terms Lead time to supply GL Account for reconciliation

Each vendor record will be created at company code and purchase organization level. Normally vendor master contains the details of both accounts related and also purely purchasing related, hence it is created in consultation with FI team.

Purchase Order Purchase order is an agreement between the vendor and a company to supply the goods at an agreed rate and at an agreed duration of interval. Purchase order is a legal document between a vendor and a company. It covers the payment terms and terms of delivery also.

Goods Receipt against PO There are three types of main material movements in SAP. They are   

Goods Receipt Good Issue Transfer Posting

Through MIGO transaction entire above three types of transactions can be performed. There are many options with MIGO transaction code. 81

Goods receipt is the process of receiving materials in to the storage location. Example receiving goods with reference to PO, customer returns, from production. When goods are received, inventory will be increased and relevant other documents will be adjusted. During the material movement, material document is generated for all movements. Relevant accounting and controlling documents are also created for relevant movement types.

Create Contract Contract is an agreement between the vendor and the company to supply goods and services as per the agreed terms and condition. At the time of negotiating, it may not be clear as of how much is required and when it is required. In such a situation, an open contract can be released on the vendor. Every contract must be followed by a release order which is nothing but a normal PO with reference to the contract. Contracts can be release centrally or with specific to plant. In case of multiple plants, central contract can be released and release order specific to each plants can be released.

FINDINGS

As the main objective of this project is to know about the material management and its functions in JSPL through effective material management the organization may achieve their target.

I have find out in this project that the effective inventory control minimize the financial investment in inventories because the capital requires carrying inventories cost money & holding assets in the form of inventories results in decreased liquidity through inventory control to meet its demand.

I have find out that the efficient store keeping minimize cost of production, providing efficient services to various departments, establishing co-ordination & advising the management.

The JSPL has used the KODAK system for codification which is very useful for the identifying the materials.

88

In JSPL the material is purchased from the different vendors. The company give notice & issue the tender & the who supplier fulfill the terms & condition of the tender given to them. Tender issue in 1 to 5 bid option acoording to requirement.

89

SUGGESTION

On the basis of my survey. I discovered few points that if considered will add up to its profit & goodwill. Following are some suggestion with the best of my knowledge. 1) As we know JSPL use inspection at the time of production only, I suggest they should provide inspection after production also 2) To maintain the flow of production, the JSPL should purchase materials at a right quality, in a right quantity, at a comparative lower price & to ensure a uniform flow of materials. 3) The JSPL should adopt the best method of inspection & the inspection Officer or inspector must be qualified & honest person for maintaining the quality. 4) The company should store their materials in a proper manner. The possibility of their being stolen or damaged due to fire or any other cause is reduced & materials can be easily located & issued as when required by production department.

90

Material Management is a service function & having a great importance to other section. By material management the company gets many benefits like lowering cost content, to classified the materials, to codification of materials etc. and to adopt this material management function the company will achieve their target.

91

CONCLUSION

Material management as name suggests management of materials. As we know the cost of materials for any of the industry in the world is approximately 64% to 65 % if the cost of material is reduce for the industry then any of company in the world can make unbelievable profit. The main motive of this sentence is to elaborate the value of material at the industry like JINDAL STEEL & POWER. Where almost 1 lakh to 1.5 lakh materials are required to run plant, every day. If these are used properly without miss use and with proper management then definitely can be maximized. JINDAL STEEL & POWER is a fully integrated plant, they have good purchasing facility, they have well store system and also good inventory control. In JINDAL STEEL & POWER all the functionality of material management is integrated system like purchasing, store, inspection, inventory control and also finance. Material management increases the profit, since the best quality of product can be made at lowest possible cost. It makes good buyers & seller by providing qualitative produce at reasonable price. Tools and equipment are effectively provided there is an execution of good material management. 92

In an industrial organization the materials manager is required to keep the wheel of the industry moving. However lot of crises is arising before the materials managers now days are being pushed to tight corner. Many problems are faced by the materials management like material planning. Design & specification, procurement & obsolescence are the main problem in material management.
