Introduction
Store is a place where excess material is kept which will be used as and when required.
Store management is to receive materials, to protect them while in storage from damage & unauthorized removal, to issue the material in the right quantities, at the right time to the right place and to provide these service promptly and at least cost.
Objectives of store
Minimizing cost of production through minimizing cost on materials Maintaining the value of materials Service to user departments Establishing Co-ordination with other departments Advising materials Manager

Receipt Storage Retrieval Issue Records Housekeeping Control Surplus management Verification Interaction & coordination
Receipt
Any item of goods or material that enters the organization always enters through the stores. Similarly, every item unless specifically excluded, has to leave through the store. Stores is the final account keeper of all materials.
Material sent by any supplier after the security clearance comes to the stores. Stores check the document carried by the carrier, known as Delivery Challan, against the copy of the Purchase Order placed on the supplier by the organization.
Receipt
Once the adequacy is established and quantity is verified the material is sent for testing for quality parameters.
Some times quality control tests are elaborate and time consuming. If the policy of receipt is to unload the material subject to quality control acceptance, it is cleared for unloading. Unloaded material is kept on the hold if it not yet cleared by quality control department. If the material is rejected it is sent back to the supplier after clear documentation.
Storage
Once the unloaded material is approved by the quality control department, as per the quality plan in the quality system, it is moved to a specific place in the stores layout.
The material is so stored that it becomes easy to retrieve and issue subsequently. Storage should also ensure protection against deterioration, damage and pilferage.
Storage
Detailed system is adopted for location and labeling of items while in storage. Storage plan is made keeping in mind,

nature of the product- physical state, toxicity, inflammability and other hazards volume and weight- heavy or light movement frequency- fast moving or slow moving point of use
Retrieval
Easy and quick retrievability of items that are demanded by the internal customers. Easy identification, maximum space utilization and minimum handling are key factors to retrieval functions. It is common knowledge in many of the companies that after hours of searching for the item is declared to be out of stock. This causes hold up of production process and avoidable urgent purchase of out of stock material. This function takes place as per established retrieval system.
Issue
Fulfilling customer demand for the item in minimum time, keeping quality high and cost minimum is issue. An internal customer doesnt pay the price but he has to fulfill requirement of authorization for the demand. A duly authorized indent or requisition for the item is the key
Records
Maintaining records of receipt and issue. Updating the stock levels as per movement of materials. Basic records of store are bin card and stock register.
Bin card is placed on the bin in which items are stored. This gives information about receipt, issue and balance. stock register gives all the information in the bin card and also the value.
Housekeeping
Maintenance of spic and span cleanliness in the store and ensuring principle of Place for Everything and Everything in its place is fully implemented.
Good housekeeping ensures satisfactory work practices
Control
Surplus management
Effective disposal system for unneeded material to reduce inventory cost and proactive measures to eliminate deterioration and obsolescence.
Obsolete items are good in all respect but have no useful role in the company due to changes that have occurred in the course of time.
Surplus management
Surplus items are those that have accumulated due to faulty planning, forecasting and purchasing. Hence a usage value is associated with these items. Scrap is wastage generated due to processes like turning, boring drilling etc. and also due to bad manufacturing. it is said that in India nearly Rs. 2500 crores are tied up as obsolete, surplus and scrap items.
Verification
Stock verification to eliminate gap between information and physical stock. In stores some items are maintained as stock items. The stores triggers the procurement cycle for such items when a predetermined reorder level is reached. Hence correct stock position through verification is critical to ensure no shortage and no excess for the item.
Very close interaction between Purchasing, production, quality control and engineering functions is obviously needed in the discharge of the functions discussed so far. It also becomes necessary to coordinate the flow of material samples and information through a network of departments for performance of stores functions. Besides, every management function being an internal customer interaction is very important.
Types of Stores
Centralized stores concept is to store all items at a central place and control materials movement from this central place. Whereas Decentralization concept is moving the material to the respective consumer function or directly to the points of use.
Effective supervision and control. Issue at single point reduces cost of issue Reduced personnel requirement Efficient layout for stores Better handling technology Better inventory checks Maintenance of optimum stores Elaborate documentation
The variety of goods can be supplied to all users from one small location. Less manpower will be required. Better control of materials is possible. Material handling will be easy. Wastage and deterioration of materials will be less.
It may not be suitable for large manufacturing concern. More staff will be required for shifting & transportation of the materials to various production units.
Fitting shop
Reduced material handling and associated cost. Less chances of bottlenecks and delays. Convenient for every department to draw materials. Less transportation time.
Coordination and control of all decentralised store is a challenge to management. Labor utilization may suffer due to low store activity level.
INTRODUCTION
Inventory-A physical resource that a firm holds in stock with the intent of selling it or transforming it into a more valuable state. Inventory System- A set of policies and controls that monitors levels of inventory and determines what levels should be maintained, when stock should be replenished, and how large orders should be placed.

Inventory Management
A-items : 15% of the items are of the highest value and their inventory accounts for 70% of the total. B-items : 20% of the items are of the intermediate value and their inventory accounts for 20% of the total. C-items : 65%(remaining) of the items are lowest value and their inventory accounts for the relatively small balance, i.e., 10%.

What is EOQ ?
Economic order quantity is one of the techniques of inventory control which minimizes total holding and ordering costs for the year.
The economic order quantity is the technique which solves the problem of the materials manager.

Definition of EOQ
EOQ is essentially an accounting formula that determines at which the combination of order, costs and inventory carrying cost are the least. The result is the most cost effective quality to order. In purchasing this is known as order quantity, in manufacturing it is known as the production lot size. - Dave Piasecki

Merits of Q system
Each material can be in the most economical quantity; Purchasing an inventory control personnel automatically devote attention to the items that are needed only when required; and Positive control can be easily exerted to maintain total inventory investment at the desired level, simply by manipulating the plant maximum and minimum values.

Demerits of Q system
The orders are raised at irregular intervals which may not be convenient to the suppliers; In case the lead time is very high supply of inventory may interpret; EOQ may give you an order quantity which is much below the supplier minimum, and there is always a chance that the ordering level for an item has been reached but not noticed in which case a stock out may occur; and The items cannot be group and ordered at a time since the recorder points occur irregularly.

Merits of P model
The ordering and inventory cost are low; The supplier will also offer attractive discount on sales are granted; and The system works well for material which exhibit an irregular or seasonal use and whose purchase must be planned in advance on the basis of sales estimates.

Demerits of P model
It compels a periodic review of all item; this in itself make the system somewhat inefficient. because of difference in uses rate supply may not have to be order until succeeding review; Equally important the system demand the establishment of rather inflexibility order quantities. in The interest of the administrative efficiency; and The periodic review system tends to peak the purchasing work around the review dates.

Value Analysis
Manufacturing: Systematic analysis that identifies and selects the best value alternatives for designs, materials, processes, and systems. It proceeds by repeatedly asking "can the cost of this item or step be reduced or eliminated, without diminishing the effectiveness, required quality, or customer satisfaction?" Also called value engineering, its objectives are (1) to distinguish between the incurred costs (actual use of resources) and the costs inherent (locked in) in a particular design (and which determine the incurring costs), and (2) to minimize the locked-in costs.
2. Purchasing: Examination of each procurement item to ascertain its total cost of acquisition, maintenance, and usage over its useful life and, wherever feasible, to replace it with a more cost effective substitute. Also called value-in-use analysis.
The final step is the creative phase in which we redesign product or component to reduce its cost or improve its value. During this phase, team members focus especially on simplifying the design and evaluating the appropriateness of the product specifications, using the following questions:
b. Is the item over-engineered? Does it do more than necessary? c. Can the items function be combined with that of another component? How much does it cost to do this? d. Can a standard or existing component be used? e. Can a different material be used? f. Can this product be made easier to assemble? The answers to these questions represent design alternatives that can be compared and evaluated in terms of their value and cost. Example: VE played an important role in Hondas design of its 1994 ACCORD. Each part has to pass careful examination by a VE team. Not until the part passed this evaluation (answering questions such as: Why this shape? Why this material?) could a designer sketch a prototype part.
