INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION
Finance is the life blood of any business. Inventory Management is
the process of identify the inventory need for the organization like the Raw
material, Work in progress, finished goods and the spare parts for a
organization. What are the techniques used for the inventory management for
the development of the organization like the ABC analysis, XYZ Analysis or the
economic order quantity for the development of the organization.this is also
carried out by establishing different types of relationship among different
items i.e. the inventory conversion period.
NEED FOR STUDY
Inventory management is needed to study to know the better
management of inventory. Inventory is the most important thing for an
industry. Without Inventory there is no place of a company. How much of
inventory is needed for what and what amount of inventory is needed for a
plant or Industries that is the most important thing for a firm.

By inventory management we can know how much of raw material is

required for a plant. Because if we purchase excess amount of raw material
then the working capital is spent. And the money is idle and idle money means
no profit. Working capital is required for the day to day expenses.

We also know about the work-in-progress, finished goods and the

spares. Spares are the necessary thing for a plant. We also know which are
the vital or most important items for a plant and which product in what
amount we also know by the inventory management. So inventory
management is needed for the better management of the raw material to the
finished goods.

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The project report is prepared considering the following objective:-

(1)The study on profile of National Aluminium Company Limited.

(2)To study the inventory management of NALCO.
(3)To know the technique used by NALCO for inventory management.
(4)To know the current ratio of NALCO.
DETAILS

GENERAL PROFILE
OF COMPANY

ABOUT NALCO
INTRODUCTION TO NALCO:-
National Aluminium Company Ltd. is the largest Aluminium Company in
India. Nalco is considered to be turning point in the history of Indian
Aluminium Industry.NALCO was established in 1981 with technology
collaboration of Aluminium refinery of France. Today it is India’s Fore-most
Alumina-Aluminium producer and exporter. It owns and operates the largest
integrated Bauxite –Alumina-Aluminium complex in Asia.
NALCO exported it’s product in January 1988 with a Shipment of 76000
tones of Alumna, since them the company has never look back.
Nalco is the first Indian Company to be registered in London metal
exchange. The Company has also received ISO 9002, OHSAS-18001 COMPANY
and 14001(certified for excellence in environment management) for all its
units viz. mines, Alumina refinery, Aluminium Smelter and Power Plant. Nalco
products are sold in about 30 countries including U.K., U.S.A., France, Norway,
Switzerland, Belgium, Brazil, Russia, Australia, China & Japan.NALCO
,India’s2nd largest Aluminium maker, is an appealing target for any metals
company company anxious to go through acquisition according to industry
analysis.
On Panchapatamali hills of Koraput District in Orissa ,a fully mechanized
open-cast mine of 48,00,000 tpa ,serves feedstock to Alumina.Refinery
located down hill ,through a 14.6 k.m. long single-flight multi-curve cable belt
conveyor.Presently the capacity is being expanded to 63,00,000 tpa.
The Govt. which owns 87% of NALCO plans to sell a 30% stake by next
April through American depository receipts, Global Depository receipts and the
domestic market.
IT is one of the world’s lowest cost producers of aluminium ,has good
quality plants, strong bauxite reserves and capacity for browed field
expansion.
NALCO produced Aluminium for $1025 per tonne ,less than the $1200 per
tonne at ALCON and other big foreign producer’s.
PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS
26th annual report together with the audited account,s for the year ended
31st march 2007. Nalco Has achieved the highest ever income of Rs. 6354
crore ,as against the income of Rs. 5122 crore during the previous year and

There was drop in production of bauxite in comparison to the previous year

due to unprecedented heavy rainfall near the mines which affected the
meaning operation. The target for production of Alumina could not be
achieved due to technical snag in cooling tower in refinery which has since
been shorted out.
SALES

Aluminium metal from plant and stockyards by providing benefits and
incentives has helped NALCO achieved a growth of approximately 2.1% of
sales in domestic market over the previous financial year.NALCO signed MoUs
with 118 domestic customers in 2006-07 as compared to 112 customers in

Raw material is one of the important part of the inventory.Without

adequate quantity of raw materials of a unit can’t run a day .Here in the above
amount of raw materials for 31st march 2004 is409.04 (crs) ,2005 is 444.24
crs,2006 is 521crs and 2007 is 557.59 crs.Here the raw material is increased
with the same level. Which suggest an in inadequate method of material issue
and the materials purchased without requirement.

BIBLIOGRAPHY
SUMMARY
Inventory management is the process of identifying the product which
is must necessary for a plant or firm. And which product is stored how much
and how much of money is spend for purchasing those items. As the primary
objective is to know how to mange the inventory in the plant. Working capital
of a concern is directly concern with the sales. The current assets like debtors,
bills receivables, cash,stock,etc. change with the increase or decrease in sales.

From the Balance Sheet we also know about the current assets and
the current Liabilities. We also analyses the current Ratio.By the inventory
management we can analyse the inventory of a product.

SUGGESTION

 The ratio of the company of NALCO is high which indicate high

liquidity of NALCO but at the same time current asset return is less
than fixed assets .So NALCO should reduced the investing in current
assets and being down the current ratio.

 Being a old player in the Aluminium sector NALCO sales are less
than the Balco and Hindalco so it should take necessary steps to
over come this competition and increase its both export and
domestic sales.

 NALCO should under take some sales promotion activities to

increase its export sales because with compare 2003-04 to 2006-07
the export sales especially for Aluminium is come down.
CONCLUSION
Inventory management is a sensitive area in the field of financial
management. It is the nerve of financial management.

Inventory management is the most vital activity of any

organization. It is a very often noticed that so called profitable companies
have gone out of business due to inefficient management of inventory.

Thus a company should maintain a sound inventory position and

these should be optimum investment in inventory. To get benefit ,its
necessary to manage inventory in best possible way.

Inventory management includes forecasting of future demand of

the finished products as raw materials, stores and spares, etc.

This study indicates that NALCO’s investment in inventory is

very high and the liquidity position is very low ,as NALCO is growing
organization and for improving in faster in the present business
environment, it should be using more improved technique for inventory
management and maintain a necessary level of inventory.

Since ,now a days the problem of inventory management has

acquired special importance in India,we hope for NALCO that the time will
come when the company,NALCO will show the excellency in management
of inventory among all the India public sectors.
Nalco is remain a “zero debt” company for the 3 rd consecutive
year.NALCO utilized its internal cash generation to meet its working
capital requirement and it had not utilized any working capital borrowing
 facility during the year .NALCO has got the navaratna as it maintains the
high quality of management.
In 2006-07 there was drop in production of bauxite in
comparison to the previous year due to unprecedented heavy rainfall near
the mines which affected the mining operation. The target of production
of alumina could not be achieved due to technical snag in cooling tower in
refinery which has since been sorted out.
