PREFACE
The G.H. Patel P.G. Institute of Business Management, V.V.Nagar gives the students anOpportunity to have an insight of any large scale unit so that we get the exposure to an
actual managerial environment of company. I am lucky to have summer training in acompany like RIL which is considered to be one of the largest establishments in India.
During this period, I had overview of the finance department within which I could make adetail study of all the section comes under the roof of finance in RIL. This training will helpme to correlate theoretical knowledge and its practical applications. It was a thrillingexperience while studying working of RIL and understanding it. This program has led me torealize the contribution of RIL to the Petroleum Industry of India.
I am grateful to the senior executives of RIL for their cooperation and interest in my projectwithout which it could not have been possible to go ahead with my assignment.
With great pleasure, I present this project which consists of a brief study of inventorymanagement in RIL.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
I have completed my training at material (finance) department. My area of work was onInventory Management .I undertook a unique, step-by-step methodology for preparation ofthe report. Reference books, RIL internal portal, website, and the data available at central
stores really help me to make this report valuable.
In this report first I have given the general information regarding the company. It includesthe history of company; its disinvestments, milestones, board of directors, quality policy,financial position of the company, and the products.
Then I have focused on my core project regarding the procedure followed for the inventorymanagement at RIL. It covers how the material requirement is generate followed by thepurchase procedure then and the report deals with the handling of the inventory. In the end,the findings and the bibliography are given. The report depends on the secondary datafrom annual reports and some interviews with various managers. It may be possible that
the data from which the report is made may not appear in the report because some data isconfidential for the company.

Table 1.2 Plants and Their Capacity
Products at a Glance: The products manufactured and marketed by the Corporation couldbe classified into the following 3 major groups:
Polymers: Polymers that include plastic and rubber is a major product-line, not only by
virtue of the quantity and multiplicity of grades but also because of the very number ofsmall-scale customers spread all over India. Polypropylene and Polybutadiene rubber arenew to Indian market. These have been produced for the first time in India by IPCL.
Fibers and Fibre Intermediates: Some quantities of Acrylic fibre being imported earlier weremainly for hand knitting yarn. Due to the developmental activities undertaken by IPCL,unprecedented applications have been possible for acrylic fibre namely range ofsuiting/dress materials/hosiery/carpets/blankets/upholstery, thus making Indacryl (brandname for Acrylic Fibre) the fibre for all seasons. Having developed a wide range ofapplications, to meet the growing demand for acrylic fibre, IPCL decided to expand theacrylic fibre manufacturing capacity to 24,000 MTA. The expansion is with the technical
know-how from EI Du Pont Nemours, USA.
Chemicals: At present, about 31, different chemical products are being marketed, and thegrowth in the product line has been possible mainly due to the development of value addedproducts from the return streams. Chemical intermediaries find wide and diverseapplications in various industries.

Chapter 2 Introduction of the subject
2.1 Introduction to Inventory Management
Managing inventory is a juggling act. Inventory represents the second largest
assets for manufacturing companies next only to plant and equipments. TheAverage proportion of inventories to total assets, in manufacturing firm,generally varies between 20 to 30 percent. Inventories are the stock of theproduct made for sale by the company or semi finished goods or rawmaterials. Inventory of finished goods which are ready for sale is required tomaintain smooth marketing operation. The inventory of raw material and workin progress is required in order to maintain an unobstructed flow of material inthe production line. These inventories serve as a link between the productionand consumption of goods.
The aspect of management of inventory is especially important in respect tothe fact that in country like India, the capital block in terms of inventory isabout 70% of the current assets. It is therefore, absolutely imperative tomanage efficiently and effectively in order to avoid unnecessary investment inthem. Although to maintain low inventories may prove to be profitable but tomaintain very low inventories may prove risky on the contrary.This aspect of management if tackled in a proper way may prove to be a boon its effectiveand efficient management would result in the maintaining of optimum level of inventories.At this level the profitability of the organization will not be jeopardized at the cost ofinventory.
Now from the above stated facts it is clear that maintaining of optimum level of inventoryinvolves huge cost, so why should keep the inventories at all. Basically there are threemain reasons for which inventories are stocked and they are:-
1. Transaction Motive: This motive lays emphasis on maintaining of inventories inorder to maintain a smooth and unobstructed supply of materials for the salesand production operations.
2. Precautionary Motive: This motive emphasizes on the stocking goods in order toguard against the uncertainties of future i.e. unpredictable changes in the forcesof demand, supply and other forces.
3. Speculative Motive: This motive influences the decisions regarding the increase ordecrease in the level of inventory in order to take advantage of price fluctuations.
A company should maintain adequate stock of materials for a continuous supply to thefactory for an uninterrupted production. It is not possible for a company to procure rawmaterial instantaneously whenever needed. A time lag exists between demand and supplyof material. Also, there exists an uncertainty in procuring raw material in time at manyoccasions. The procurement of materials may be delayed because of factors beyond
10

companys control e.g. transport disruption, strike etc. Therefore, the firm should keep asufficient stock of raw material at a time to have streamline Other factors which may inciteus to keep stock of inventories is the quantity discounts, expected rise is price.The work in process inventory builds up because of the production cycle. Production cycleis the time span between the introduction of raw material in to the production and theemergence of finished goods at the completion of production cycle. Till the production cyclecompletes, the stock of work in process has to be maintained. Efficient firms constantly tryto make the production cycle smaller by improving their production techniques.
The inventory of a manufacturing concern usually includes:
Raw material
Work-in-Progress
Finished goodsThe stock of finished goods has to be held because production and sales are notinstantaneous. A firm cannot produce immediately when goods are demanded bycustomers. Therefore to supply finished goods on regular basis, their stock has to maintainfor sudden demand of customers, in case the firm sales are seasonal in nature, substantial
finished goods inventory should be kept to meet the peak demand. Failure to supplyproducts to customer, when demanded, would mean loss of the firms sales to thecompetitors.
The basic objective in holding raw material inventory is separate purchase and productionactivities and in holding finished goods inventory is to separate production and salesactivities. If raw material inventory is not held, purchase would have to be made regularly atthe time of usage. This would mean production interruptions and high cost of ordering.
A sufficiently large inventory has to be maintained of finished goods so as to meet thefluctuating demands. If a close link is maintained between the sales and the productiondepartment then an organization can do with a small inventory also. In the process,inventory is also necessary because production cannot be instantaneous. But it should beseen that the size of production cycle should be small.
2.2 Objectives of the Project
To study the Inventory Management at RIL
To study the Purchase Procedure at RIL
2.3 Importance of the Study
Inventory management is an important part of a business because inventories are usuallythe largest expense incurred from business operations. Most companies will use aninventory management system that will track and maintain the inventory required to meet
11
-
8/8/2019 Ril Inventory Mgmt
21/54
customer demand. Most systems used by companies are linked to the management oraccounting information system, increasing the effectiveness of their operations.
Inventory management is primarily about specifying the size and placement of stockedgoods. Inventory management is required at different locations within a facility or withinmultiple locations of a supply network to protect the regular and planned course of
production against the random disturbance of running out of materials or goods. The scopeof inventory management also concerns the fine lines between replenishment lead time,carrying costs of inventory, asset management, inventory forecasting, inventory valuation,inventory visibility, future inventory price forecasting, physical inventory, available physicalspace for inventory, quality management, replenishment, returns and defective goods anddemand forecasting. Balancing these competing requirements leads to optimal inventorylevels, which is an on-going process as the business needs shift and react to the widerenvironment.
Involves a retailer seeking to acquire and maintain a proper merchandise assortment whileordering, shipping, handling, and related costs are kept in check.
Systems and processes that identify inventory requirements, set targets, providereplenishment techniques and report actual and projected inventory status.
Handles all functions related to the tracking and management of material. This wouldinclude the monitoring of material moved into and out of stockroom locations and thereconciling of the inventory balances. Also may include ABC analysis, lot tracking, XYZanalysis etc.
Management of the inventories, with the primary objective of determining/controlling stocklevels within the physical distribution function to balance the need for product availabilityagainst the need for minimizing stock holding and handling costs
2.4 Methodology
Research/Study in common parlance refers to a search for knowledge. Research studymay be defined as manipulation of things, concepts or symbols for the purpose ofgeneralizing to extent, correct or verify knowledge, whether that knowledge aids inconstruction of theory or in the practice of an art.
Methods of Data CollectionThere are mainly two methods of collecting data
Primary data Collection
Secondary data Collection
In this project I have used both the methods of data Collection, which helped me in
understanding the working of Reliance Industries.

Primary data: For obtaining the appropriate data interview was the one of the most feasiblemethod to collect the information. As I meet employees of different designation and workingin different section questionnaire would have been an inappropriate tool to collect theinformation. Also interview gave me an opportunity to understand their working in a betterway and any doubt was resolved at that very instance. During this project I visited differententities associated in inventory management. I also visited central store, chemical store,engineering department, and Materials Bhavan.Secondary data: As I was dealing with financial data most of the information that is beingused in this information is from the annual reports that are available for used of everyone.But still most of the figures that are in the report are more related to RIL-VMD than whole ofRIL.

Chapter 3 Material Planning
3.1 Annual Material Planning
Annual Material Planning is one of the most critical exercises in the overall materialmanagement framework, it deals with the overall estimation of the material demand whichforms the basis for procurement planning and inventory management. It forms the linkagebetween material consumption and procurement.
The objective of the process is to estimate the material demand for the next financial year.
Planned material demand for a site constitutes known demand, deterministic innature that can be planned and procured well in time to meet the demand. Thisincludes major maintenance jobs such as planned shutdowns, major overhauls,refurbishments, rebuilding, statutory inspection, post shut down recommendation
jobs and approved Capex jobs. Planned material demand is generated in the systemthrough the Annual Maintenance Plan which is created for next year and entered inthe SAP system by creating and saving (but not releasing) work orders along withmaterial requirement for these jobs.
Unplanned material requirement for a site constitutes the demand that cannot beplanned. This includes unplanned breakdowns, maintenance activities based onconditional monitoring, maintenance events not forecasted at the beginning of theyear, post shut down recommendation jobs, etc. Projection of the unplanneddemand for the next year is created by analyzing and extrapolating the unplannedportion of the historical demand.
There may be exception viz. one time unplanned requirement (e.g., direct charged
items) during a year which are not considered in unplanned material requirement atbeginning of the year.
Obsolete & surplus inventory is excluded from the exercise.
The annual material planning process places greater emphasis on 'planned'inventory management to optimize inventory levels while maintaining the requiredservice levels
Planned Component of Annual Material Plan: This is the consolidated site based estimateof next year's planned material demand at item level. The demand is estimated byconsolidating the material requirement associated with each maintenance job, shutdown
job and Capex job scheduled in SAP PM at the start of the year as part of annual
maintenance plan. In the system, planned material demand comes out of planned workorders such as PM02/PM03/Shut down orders. Further, this planned demand is updatedduring the year as and when new maintenance jobs are scheduled enough in advance toprocure the material required for those jobs directly from vendor. For instance, if in Mayduring the year a new job was scheduled for December such that lead time to procurematerial for that job is smaller than 7 months, then demand for that material 1 also termedas planned demand.

3.2 Material Requirement Planning Run
The objective of the process is to manage site inventory at regular basis by using inventorylevels (safety stock level. reorder level and reorder quantity) based replenishment approachfor unplanned requirement and reservation based replenishment based approach forplanned requirement of each SKU inventory levels are determined scientifically by
modelling systematically historical demand data for unplanned demand and requiredservice levels, and incorporated into SAP. Then SAPs MRP Run generates PRs so thatthe required service levels can be met
The MRP run is conducted at least once a month to conduct material planning. The MRP istriggered when current inventory hits a reorder level after considering pipeline inventory aswell as open reservations falling within the planning horizon.
The MRP run is conducted by the inventory controller tor the site. An inventory modellingprocess I tool is used to determine the optimal inventory levels which are incorporated intoSAP. Material requisitioning is done by inventory controller at the site bases on either an
inventory levels based replenishment (if the levels for the item was modelled by theinventory modelling process /tool) or a user based reservation in a work order (items thatare not under the scope of the Inventory modelling process/ tool)
Planned Order is a system generated draft material requisitioning order that needsinventory controller's approval for quantity and specifications before being converted by thesystem to a Purchase Requisition (PR)
Planned Material Demand is any demand where the requirement of the material is knownbeyond the lead time horizon (defined as sum of MRP run time, internal lead time andexternal lead time) e.g. demand of SKU with lead-time of two months known before two
months is a planned demand
Unplanned Material Demand: Any demand where the requirement are not known beyondthe lead time horizon. E g demand of SKU with lead-time of two months known before1month of requirement is an unplanned demand.
3.3 Storage/ Binning Of Materials
The objective of this process is to bin incoming material at correct location for tackingsubsequent movement of material. Binning process leverages the warehouse module of
SAP to generate bin location and track materials current bin location. Here expiry date iscaptured while the receipt of material is done, but it is applicable only for few items.
Binning location refers to the location where the item is binned as defined in the system.There is also transfer order generated to transfer the stock to respective bin from inspectionor receipt area.
This process includes following steps:
15
-
8/8/2019 Ril Inventory Mgmt
25/54
Generating binning report of materials for which usage decision is posted onprevious day and for items received through MRN/STN.
Shift material from receipt area to corresponding storage area.
Check initial preservation requirement of items under binning and executepreservation.
Affix tag / label on material received through STN / MRN.
Allocate bin location for new material in system. Post Transfer Order in Warehouse Management module of SAP system.
Bin material at corresponding suggested location.
The process will be started daily in the morning after the usage decision of incomingmaterials has been posted on previous day. The total process will be completed in the spanof a day. Exceptions to the procedure is whenever discrepancy is observed between theitem lying in existing stock and the new item received for binning same need to beresolved.
3.4 Cycle Counting
The objective of the process is to create a standard system driven cycle counting processacross all sites that leverages the benefits of cycle counting to indentify discrepancies inthe inventory count early.
Item segmentation for frequency of count is on the basis of consumption and value. Allitems m A and X category should be counted once a year. Items in B and Y categoryshould be counted once in two years and items in and 2 categories should be countedonce in three years.Root Cause Analyse (RCA) of all discrepancies should be done. If RCA does not yield any
plausible reason, the discrepancy should be written off in the system after due approval ofthe site president and the finance department.Apart from perpetual counting as per the counting schedule cycle counting will also bedone at the time of binning the item. Physical count and court date will be updated in thesystem
3.5 Preservation
Objective of the process is to create a standardized preservation process across sites thatare driven by system for scheduling and task listing
Periodic preservation is scheduled through the system. General preservation activities foritems are recorded in the system. This allows inter- site sharing of preservation activitiesand will help in auto generating preservation task list for new items of similar type beingbinned. Preservation task list is entered into the system by site inventory controller basedon the recommendations given to them by CES site maintenance and site stores.Preservation of insurance items should be given special attention including periodicalphysical inspection by user and taking suggested corrective action.

Chapter 5 Material Handling
5.1 Material Delivery, Issue and Return
Material Issue delivery & return deals with the issue & delivery of material against workorder reservation & silent hour requirement. It also deals with the return of excess materialafter a maintenance job completion.Material Issue, delivery & return process compromise following activities.
Material issue & delivery: issue & delivery By the stores of reserved material through
work order by plant within a specified time
Material issue during silent hour: i.e. in non working hours.
Material return: return from plant to stores.
Some key policies that they have are as follows:- Material issue shall take place against reservation
Monthly report of open reservation more than 30 days old must be sent to HOD.
Door delivery plan with respect to MATERIAL DROP POINT at various plants.
Counter issue from stores against plants request to meet urgent maintenance work.
The process is executed twice a day and will cover all reservations entered on previousday. Delivery process completed on the same day.
Material issue during silent hour must be recorded in system while issue posting.
5.2 Project overage material transfer
Here the objective is to transfer of project overage with complete specification of individualSKU to warehouse.
Project overage is transferred to steady state only after reconciliation and approval
of concerned project engineering discipline head.
Materials of individual SKU identified as project overage shall take place through
Spare part interchangeable records (SPIR) provided by OEM to buyer.
Unit rate of material being transfer is be given by procurement.
Transfer material must have reference of project receipt and project code.
Material transfer takes place with test certificate wherever applicable.

The process shall be initiated immediately upon complete of project activities. Materialtransfer should not take place more than 15 days after generation of MTN in system.
5.3 STOCK OUT HANDLING:
Stock out handling is critical for handling the actual and potential stock out situation formaterial required for the maintenance of plant machinery on urgent basis.Objective is to streamline the stock out handling process that lays clearly the order ofmethods to minimize the adverse impact of potential and actual stock outs.
Potential stock out handling process that lays clearly the order of methods to
minimize the adverse impact of potential and actual stock outs.
Inventory controller will drive the stock out handling process. Controller has to look
for opportunities to re-schedule work order, identify alternative material availability,
and inter site stock transfer and emergency ways of handling stock out.
Stock out handling process will take not more than 5 working days.
5.4 Obsolete and Surplus Management
Over a period of time, equipment spares and other materials becomes surplus/obsoleteand hence unserviceable due to various reasons like long usage design change /redundancy uneconomical operation / stock in excess than requirement etc.
Obsolete & surplus spares identification is one of the most important functions of materialsmanagement organization for early disposal actions of such spares.
Obsolete Identification includes following stages:-
Enter details of equipment/spares decommissioning in the system
Review of decommissioned equipment / spares list for items which can be usedelsewhere in site
Sending of potential obsolete items list to CES Head for approval
Flagging of approved items as obsolete in system
Intimation of discontinued items
Review and initiation of approval process for discontinued items

Chapter 6 Inventory ManagementInventory is a very expensive asset that can be replaced with a less expensive assetcalled information. In order to do this, the information must be timely, accurate, reliable,and consistent. When this happens, you carry less inventory, reduce cost and get productsto customers faster.

The basic work of inventory management is to procure the material to the requireddepartment and to maintain the stock. The materials that are purchased are bothindigenous and imported. The inventory can be classified in to various categories.
Raw material, chemical and catalysts.
Fuel and lubricants.
Instrumentation items.
Mechanical consumables. Safety and fire items.

digit is for the serial number of the product, and net single digit is for the imported andindigenous product. If the product is imported then the code will be 1 and if it is indigenousthen the code will be 3.
Receipts: After the order has been placed, the goods are been received. First of all the gatesecurity will check the truck number and they will provide them the TPN number after takingthat number the truck will go for the excise clearing where it will get the excise ID fromthere. The excise person will make a entry of excise, after that the MMN entry is done andthen they will sent the goods to the stores department where the GRN (Goods ReceiptNote) will be made. Stores department will send the goods for the inspection and on thatbase the inspection note is to be prepared of acceptance or rejection of the goods. That isalso known as user decision and the goods will be consider as the RILs property and if thegoods are rejected then they will make the MMX exit entry
6.4 Costs oriented with inventory management
Ordering costWhenever the order is placed for the stock there is cost occurs, the cost will differ as per
the nature of inventory
Inventory carrying costInventory carrying cost is always proportional to the investment in inventory and it is,therefore expressed as a percentage of average investment in inventory. Various costs arefollows
Capital costThis is the largest component of the carrying cost and it represents the cost of capitalinvested which includes the cost of borrowing capital which is the borrowing rate or thebank lending rate.
Storage cost
The chief elements of storage cost are the cost of space, maintenance and repairs,lighting, wages of personnel, handling charges and other.
Obsolescence costThe value of an item gets progressively reduced, as the life of inventory goes on.Obsolescence is done due to life span of inventory, technology changes, and loss due tohandling.
InsuranceThis cost occurs because for every item there is insurance which is associated with it and iffire or other damage occurs then there is cost associated with it.
Stock out costThis is the cost of not carrying the inventory, it is an opportunity cost and it is because ofloss of production.
Overstocking cost

6.6 Inventory categorization
Velocity is the primary basis of categorization. Velocity is number of issues in a period oftime. Items are first segregated into fast moving, rarely moving and non moving itemsbased on monthly aggregated consumption. Fast moving items are always consider stock
items, while further categorization is done for rarely moving and non moving items beforethe stock/non stock decision is made.
After the velocity categorization a value based categorization is done. To optimizedengineer effort, the high value items are subject to further analysis and validation and thelower value items are considered as stock items.
Finally, for high value items, a stock/non-stock decision is taken based on the critically,predictability of demand and the probability of demand of the item. This may be done by

On the above chart we see that company can able to write off 40% value of electrical storesand 28% value of mechanical stores, but company cannot write off any value of packagingstores. Very important matter is that purchase value of RM/CHE/CAT is very high butcompany writes off its value only 0.143% it is very low compare to other materials. There
for company should take certain steps against RM/CHE/CAT stores.

6.7 ABC and XYZ Analysis
Mixture of ABC and XYZ analysis (A Combination developed by the company)
Physical verification of stock on perpetual basis at different stores is done through
perpetual inventory.
Perpetual inventory is the process of concurrent physical stock check to be carried out on
daily basis.
ABC Analysis
ABC is based on consumption value.
A class items- 60% consumption value of inventoryB class items- 30% consumption value of inventory
C class items- 10% consumption value of inventory
XYZ Analysis
XYZ is based on inventory value.
X class items- 60% of inventory value
Y class items- 30% of inventory value
Z class items- 10% of inventory value
Frequency of different groups of items to be covered under physical stock check is as
under:-
Items falling under A and X category- 3 times in a year
Items falling under B and Y category- 2 times in a year
Items falling under C and Z category- 1 time in a year
Overlapping of items between ABC and XYZ categories would be unified to avoid
duplication.
The following are the examples of few of the items falling in the various categories:-

6.8 Comparison of Inventory Costing Methods
Items of inventories are measured at lower of cost and net realisable value after providingfor obsolescence, if any. Cost of inventories comprises of cost of purchase, cost ofconversion and other costs incurred in bringing them to their respective present locationand condition. Cost of raw materials, process chemicals, stores and spares, packingmaterials, trading and other products are determined on weighted average basis. By-products are valued at net realisable value. Cost of work-in-progress and finished stock isdetermined on absorption costing method.Weighted average method give the average cost of goods i.e. the value falls in-between thecost value abstract from FIFO and LIFO. In increasing prices FIFO method gives thehighest value of sock, and the value abstract from LIFO is the lowest, as compare to thesethree methods. Similarly the profit derived from the LIFO method is highest and profit fromthe FIFO is lowest, as shown in the example.

Gross Profit 1592925 1597500 1601160
LIFO gives the lowest gross profit, therefore the lowest tax on profit.
In General when the purchase price of inventory is going down, choose FIFO.
When the purchase price of inventory is going up, choose LIFO.
When it goes up and down, choose weighted average.
