INDUSTRY OVERVIEW Introduction to the Fertilizer Industry of India: The Indian fertilizer industry is broadly divided into nitrogenous, phosphatic and potassic segments . In addition to these, nutrients are combined to produce several complex fertilizers. To express the nutrient constitution of fertilizers, the grade of a fertilizer is expressed as a set of three numbers in the order of percent of Nitrogen (N), Phosphate (P) and Potash (K).
COMPANY PROFILE The Indian Farmers Fertilizer Co-operative Limited (IFFCO) is one of the largest producers of fertilizer in India . The first plant of IFFCO was commissioned at Kalol in November 1974 to produce Ammonia . Urea plant was commissioned in January 1975, which began its commercial production on 1st April 1975. Kalol plant has a capacity of 300300 tones of ammonia and 396000 tones Urea per year. The Kandla plant was commissioned on 26th November 1974 The ammonia plant at Phulpur started its commercial production on 10th October 1980 The Aonla plant , fourth in the series, started commercial production in July 1988.
SWOT ANALYSIS STRENGTHS 1.Largest producer of fertilizers in the Country. 2.Five strategically located plants with cutting edge production technologies. 3.Most plants achieve capacity utilization in excess of 100% . 4.A large number of co-operative societies are associated with IFFCO (38,155 at present). 5.Vast Marketing and distribution network due to the high number of co-operatives associated with IFFCO. WEAKNESS 1.IFFCO has a bureaucratic organisational structure. 2.Organisational setup is very rigid. 3.Excessive sub-divisions.
SWOT ANALYSIS OPPORTUNITY GROWTH PLAN 1.Installation of Ammonia/Urea plants and also acquisition of fertilizer units. 2.Generation of Power 3.Production and Marketing of micro-nutrients, seeds, bio- fertilizers, pesticides etc. 4.Value addition to agri -products and marketing 5.Banking and Financial Services 6.Information Technology and IT enabled services 7.Establishments of Retail Chain in urban and semi-urban locations THREAT KRIBHCO Private Companies Govt. Of India influence. Government policies on Import of fertilizers.

OBJECTIVE OF INVENTORY CONTROL To provide the continuous flow of required materials& spares parts and components for efficient uninterrupted flow of production. To minimize the investment in inventories stock keeping in view operating requirements. To provide for efficient store of materials so that inventories are protected from losses by fire and threat and handling time and costs are kept at minimum. To keep surplus and absolute items to minimize uncertainty.. To maintain inventory against deterioration, obsolescence and unauthorized use. To ensure that finished goods are available for delivery to customers just to fulfill the order.
TECHNIQUES OF INVENTORY CONTROL:USED AT IFFCO Min-Max plan Order cycling system Fixation of various levels Use of control ratios Review of slow and non-moving items The ABC Analysis
DATA Analysis
Use of Control Ratios YEAR 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 2011-12 Total INVENTORY 964.03 977.13 1413.95 1347.7 1264.71
Imbalance of raw material Year 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 2011-12 Raw Materials 595.41 551.27 950.8 823.39 718.66
Stores and spare parts at Iffco Kalol Year 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 2011-12 Stores and Spares 246.74 311.74 336.42 290.21 259.58
Findings (1) Reasons to prefer the plastic bag: Moisture control Reused and strong (2) They are using silos for the storage of finished goods in a case of uncertainty (strike, machine failure, transportation problem) (3) Total income in 2010-11 is highest with 33432.3 crore even though the production of the 2011-12 is highest. Main reason for above happening is high sale of fertilizer in 2010-11 and cost of inventory is low. (4) There is much more inbalance of Power , fuel and Water consumption because insufficient availability of Power , fuel and Water. (5) The inefficient management of inventory because fluctuating In Inventory Tornover Ratio as mentioned in graph.
Conclusion & RECOMMENDATION More effective exercise should be followed of vigilance against imbalance of raw material and work in progress which tends to limit the utility of stocks. To change in design to maximize use of standards parts and components, which are available off the shelf. Items which are in excess of the needed consumption can be considered as surplus items, such items are lying in inventory beyond 4 years. For the efficient Inventory Management the period for this should be Reduced More efforts should be made to completion of unfinished production jobs to get them in to sellable condition. The software holds all the transactions of the stocks. So software helps much in maintenance of stocks. IFFCO should use Inventory software to maintain the transactions of inventories and to manage the Inventory
