    ABSTRACT

    The survey to Study on inventory and material management is prepared under the guidelines of

    Mr.Rohit C Kalaskar (Director and Faculty).

    This project report provides a gathering of knowledge about demand of different in

    Hubli city, as well as it also provides detail knowledge about the consumer preference towards

    different logistic companies.

    The land which opens up wide selection of opportunities for the logistics service providers across

    the world is India. The high demand for the logistics services is due to the significant growth of

    economy. A few years back the value of the India logistics market is $14 billion and will grow at

    a rate of 7-8 per cent. The logistics companies in India cater to millions of retailers and meet the

    requirements of about a billion people. The list below gives the name of the best logistics

    companies in India.

    Our analysis is based on sample results. It is a difficult task to gather the information

    Executive summery

    The survey all about the understand inventory and material management.

    Logistic; The Information Technology industry is, possibly, typical of the changing and

    escalating logistic demands of various industries today, irrespective of their category as 'old' or

    'new' economy. In the IT industry, the difference between success and failure is closely linked to

    the supply/value chain integration, of which there are two distinct processes.

    The delivery of goods to the customer in the most reliable transit period (and preferably the

    shortest) possible 'Reliable' alludes to a certain guaranteed transit time for packages to reach

    customers or the response that organisations need in the event of any exceptions.

    The reverse flow of acknowledged, signed delivery records without which, in many cases,

    recovery of bills are virtually impossible. Especially so in the case of companies placing multi-

    location orders that could cover hundreds of cities

    The most important objective or inventory control is to determine and maintain an optimum level

    of investment in the inventory, Most companies have now successfully installed one or the other

    system of inventory planning and control are used to develop inventory planning policies;

    Studying inventory management can give way important improvements in both inventory cost

    and customer service levels. In the context of a real case, this article illustrates the process of

    assessing the opportunities and the benefits that can grow. These can give way near-term

    improvements in both inventory investment and service level through implementing the right

    inventory levels, without requiring significant changes to the supply chain. An effective

    materials management plan builds from and enhances an institutional master plan by filling in

    the gaps and producing an environmentally responsible and efficient outcome. An institutional

    campus, office, or housing complex can expect a myriad of benefits from an effective materials

    management plan. For starters, there are long-term cost savings, as consolidating, reconfiguring,and better managing a campus core infrastructure reduces annual operating costs.

    INTRODUCTION

    Definition of inventory

    Inventory can be defined as the quantity of material overweight spare parts and semi processedmaterial, which is stocked for the continuous running of the plants.

    Inventory can also be defined as the ideal resources of any kind, which have economic value.

    Definition of material

    Material management is a total concept involving an organizational structure join into a single

    responsibility the systematic flow and control of material from identification of the need through

    customer delivery, Consistent with the appropriate customer service level.

    Originally this technique is adopted by customers who wanted to loose inventory from their

    balance sheet, whilst still having it available, giving rise to bonded warehouses where the stock

    was available but still belonged to the supplier until issued for use in the shop. However

    suppliers then recognised that this gave them more opportunity for increasing value added

    services by maintaining this stock for the customer. It also locked in the customer to a long term

    arrangement. It is now widely recognised that the benefit is largely in the supplier's hands rather

    than with the customer. Also care must be taken to ensure that the financial transfer of ownership

    from supplier to customer is auditable, and that liability of risk of obsolescence in the event of

    change is agreed.

    In a lean organisation and to the inventory planner, the arguments are irrelevant, the stock is still

    there and it should be minimized to improve the whole supply chain.Again, in the year 2000, I

    wrote that warehousing is an increasing trend. At that time it applied to Distribution Centers

    (DC's) to consolidate supplies for just in time customers for onwards delivery to point-of-use

    destinations, primarily in the major automotive assemblers. This improves the logistics

    congestion which can arise in feeding hundreds of different items per day to an assembly line.

    However, now, out-sourcing is applied to many pre-assembly stores, most distribution networks

    and is also being applied to raw materials.

    Definition of the Problem

    The study of opportunity for inventory and material management at logistic companies in the

    market is a number of different inventory and material management logistic companies in the

    Hypothesis

    I am also a citizen of rural area. I use my experiences and perceptions as hypothesis towards to

    made this project.

    Geographical area of study

    This geographical area is concerned to the where I conducted survey to analyze the inventory

    management system of the current system & generating an idea to touch higher level of

    competency in controlling the inventory.

    I conducted survey on logistic companies in the Hubli City. GATI, VRL, and TCI

    Limitations

    While surveying I encounter with some problems like some people were not willing to respond

    and few of them who responded were in hurry hence the active participation was lacking. Due to

    which we faced difficulties in collecting information regarding our questionnaire.

    Another problem which we face is that people were hesitating to give information about their

    opinion. Except it, the sample size we have taken for survey is small and its a difficult task to

    draw accurate conclusion or reach to an exact result on the basis of limited sample size.

    Moreover, our investment is limited and time is also less to go in depth. Threats to us are that- as

    people were hesitating to give their opinion and details so there is chance of error regarding

    opinion.

    VRL Group Plans Expedition into Cement Business

    Hubli-based transport tycoon, Vijay Sankeshwar, who operates Indias largest road transport

    company, VRL Logistics Ltd, is foraying into cement manufacturing business. He has formed anew company, VRL Cements Ltd, with his son Anand Sankeshwar and other family members to

    set up the cement unit. The company has proposed to set up a 2 million tone per annum

    Greenfield cement plant for an investment of Rs 954 crore in north Karnataka.

    We have submitted a proposal to Karnataka government which is developing a cement zone in

    the Gulbarga and Bagalkot region. We have sought land from the state government. Once the

    project is approved by the high level clearance committee and the land is allotted, we will

    prepare a detailed project report for the path ahead, Vijay Sankeshwar, Chairman, VRL Group

    told Business Standard.

    He said, to begin with, he along with his son, will put in the promoters equity contribution of Rs

    100 crore to start the project. The balance funds will be raised from the market to set up the

    Greenfield cement plant. VRL Cements has sought 300 acres from the state government in

    Badami taluk of Bagalkot district which has abundant reserves of limestone, a key raw material

    for the cement industry. The companys proposal is presently awaiting the nod from the high-

    level clearance committee. The cement facility is expected to create 180 jobs. As part of the

    project, VRL has also proposed to set up a 50 Mw coal-based captive power plant.

    Sankeshwar said VRL Cements plans to manufacture cement clinkers, Portland cement, Portland

    slag cement, white cement among others. Initially, the company plans to market its products in

    Karnataka, Goa, Maharashtra and Kerala. VRL Logistics is Indias largest road transport

    company, which operates 1,620 vehicles (232 buses and 1,388 trucks). The company, which

    reported a turnover of Rs 600 crore in 2008-09, is likely to end the present fiscal with a growth

    of 15 per cent. The Karnataka government has approved 19 cement projects in the last three

    years with a total capacity of 44 million tones per annum, including those of Lafarge of

    Switzerland and Heidelberg from Germany. The state government expects to add at least 20

    million tones of cement by the end of 2011.
