EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Working capital management or simply the management of capital invested incurrent assets is the focus of my study. My topic is to study working capital
management of HCL Infosystems Ltd.
Working capital is the fund invested by a firm in current assets. Now in a cut throat
competitive era where each firm competes with each other to increase their
production and sales, holding of sufficient current assets have become mandatory as
current assets include inventories and raw materials which are required for smooth production runs. Holding of sufficient current assets will ensure smooth and un
interrupted production but at the same time, it will consume a lot of working capital.
Here creeps the importance and need of efficient working capital management.
Working capital management aims at managing capital assets at optimum level, the
level at which it will aid smooth running of production and also it will involve
investment of nominal working capital in capital assets.
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY4 | P a g e

INTRODUCTION TO WORKING CAPITAL
Working Capital Management is concerned with problems that arise in attempting to
manage the current assets, the current liabilities and the interrelationship that exist
between them.
The term current assetsrefer to those assets which in ordinary course of business can be, or will be converted into cash within one year without undergoing a
diminution in value and without disrupting the operations of the firm. The major
19 | P a g e
8/2/2019 DILEEP Final Project
20/91
current assets are cash, marketable securities, accounts
receivable and inventory.
Current liabilitiesare those liabilities which are intended, at their inception,to be paid in the ordinary course of business, within a year, out of current assets or
earnings of the concern. The basic current liabilities are accounts payable, bills
payable, bank overdraft and outstanding expenses.
The goal of Working Capital Management is to manage the firms current
assets and current liabilities in such a way that a satisfactory level of Working
Capital is maintained. This is so because if the firm cannot maintain a satisfactory
level of Working Capital, it is likely to become insolvent and may even be forced
into bankruptcy. The current assets of the company should be large enough to cover
its current liabilities in order to ensure a reasonable margin of safety. Nevertheless
the level of current assets should not be too high since in that case it will affect the
overall profitability of the firm. The interaction between current assets and current
liabilities is, therefore the main theme of Working Capital Management.
CONCEPT AND DEFINITIONS OF WORKINGCAPITAL:
Working Capital is the Life-Blood and Controlling Nerve Center of abusiness
Working capital is relative liquid (which can be converted into cash)portion of the total capital of the business. It is that portion of capital which is requiredfor holding current assets like stock of materials and finished goods, billsreceivables, and cash for meeting current expenses like salaries, wages,rent,etc.
20 | P a g e
8/2/2019 DILEEP Final Project
21/91
Working capital is commonly defined as the difference
between current assets and current liabilities.
Working Capital = Current Assets-Current Liabilities
There are two major concepts of working capital :1. Gross working capital2. Net working capital
Gross working capital:It refers to firm's investment in current assets. Current assets are the assets, which
can be converted into cash with in a financial year. The gross working capital
points to the need of arranging funds to finance current assets.
Net working capital:It refers to the difference between current assets and current liabilities. Net
working capital can be positive or negative. A positive net working capital will
arise when current assets exceed current liabilities. And vice-versa for negative
net working capital. Net working capital is a qualitative concept. It indicates the
21 | P a g e
8/2/2019 DILEEP Final Project
22/91
liquidity position of the firm and suggests the extent to which
working capital needs may be financed by permanent sources of funds. Net
working capital also covers the question of judicious mix of long-term and short-
term funds for financing current assets.
Thus, the goal of working capital management is to manage the current
assets and liabilities in such a way that an acceptable level of net working capital is
maintained.
Significance Of Working Capital Management
Adequate working capital is essential for the smooth running of any business. An
industrial organization needs capital for the following purposes-
1. To buy raw materials to produce finished goods.
2. To pay wages and salaries of labour, staff, etc.
3. To meet the overhead costs (other than wages and salaries)including those
of maintenance,service activities,fuel,power charges, taxes and general expenses
of administration.
22 | P a g e
8/2/2019 DILEEP Final Project
23/91
4. To meet expenses on sales such as expenses on packaging, advertisement,
salaries, bonus and commission to salesforce, freight, etc.
5. Sufficient working capital enables the working concern to make prompt
payments and hence helps in creating and maintaining goodwill.
6. Adequate working capital enables a concern to face business crises in
emergencies such as depression because during such periods, generally, there is
much pressure on working capital.
Disadvantages of excessive working capital
1. Excessive working capital means idle funds which earn no profits for the
business and hence the business cannot earn a proper rate of return on its
investment.
2. It may result into overall inefficiency in the organization.
3. Due to low rate of return on investments, the value of share may also fall.
4. When there is excessive working capital, relations with banks and other
financial institutions may not be maintained.
23 | P a g e
8/2/2019 DILEEP Final Project
24/91
5. The redundant working capital gives rise to speculative transactions.
Types of Working Capital Needs
Another important aspect of working capital management is to analyze the total
working capital needs of the firm in order to find out the permanent and temporary
working capital. Working capital is required because of existence of operating
cycle. The lengthier the operating cycle, greater would be the need for working
capital. The operating cycle is a continuous process and therefore, the working
capital is needed constantly and regularly. However, the magnitude and quantum
of working capital required will not be same all the times, rather it will fluctuate.
The need for current assets tends to shift over time. Some of these changes reflect
permanent changes in the firm as is the case when the inventory and receivables
24 | P a g e
8/2/2019 DILEEP Final Project
25/91
increases as the firm grows and the sales become higher and
higher. Other changes are seasonal, as is the case with increased inventory
required for a particular festival season. Still others are random reflecting the
uncertainty associated with growth in sales due to firm's specific or general
economic factors.
The working capital needs can be bifurcated as:
Permanent working capital
Temporary working capital
Permanent working capital:
There is always a minimum level of working capital, which is continuouslyrequired by a firm in order to maintain its activities. Every firm must have a
minimum of cash, stock and other current assets, this minimum level of current
assets, which must be maintained by any firm al l the times, is known as
permanent working capital for that firm. This amount of working capital is
constantly and regularly required in the same way as fixed assets are required. So,
it may also be called fixed working capital .
25 | P a g e
8/2/2019 DILEEP Final Project
26/91
Temporary working capital:
Any amount over and above the permanent level of working capital is temporary,
fluctuating or variable working capital. The position of the required working
capital is needed to meet fluctuations in demand consequent upon changes in
production and sales as a result of seasonal changes.

DETERMINING FINANCING MIX:
One of the most important decisions involved in the management of working
capital is how current assets will be financed. There are broadly two sources from
which funds can be raised for asset financing: i) short-term sources (current
liabilities) ii) long-term sources, such as share capital, long term borrowings,
internally generated resources like retained earnings and so
on. Now what portion of current assets should be financed by current liabilities and
how much by long-term resources?

There are basically three approaches to determine an
appropriate financing mix:
i) Hedging approach (or Matching approach)
ii) Conservative approach
iii) Trade-off between these two.
Hedging Approach:
With reference to appropriate financing mix, the term hedging can be defined as a
process of matching maturing of debts with the maturities of financial needs. As per
this approach the maturity of the sources of funds should match the nature of the
assets to be financed. This approach suggest that long-term funds should be used to
finance the fixed portion of current assets requirements whereas the temporary
requirements, that is, the seasonal variations over and above the permanent
financing needs should be appropriately financed with short-term funds. This

Conservative Approach:
This approach suggests that the estimated requirements of total funds should be met
by long-term sources. The use of short-term sources should be restricted to only
emergency situations or when there is an unexpected outflow of funds. This
approach is high cost low risk approach to determine an appropriate financing mix.

Trade-off between two:
Neither of the above two approaches would serve the purpose of efficient working
capital management because of their extreme nature. A trade-off between these two
would give an acceptable financing strategy.
Aggressive approach:
This approach towards risk and profitability is such where the firm uses total short
term borrowings for financing its working capital needs. This approach is very risky
and always there is a chance of bankruptcy.

WORKING CAPITAL CYCLE:
The term operating cycle refers to the length of time necessary to complete thefollowing cycle of events:
1. Conversion of cash into inventory.
2. Conversion of inventory into receivables.
3. Conversion of receivables into cash.
Cash flows in a cycle into, around and out of a business. It is the business's
life blood and every manager's primary task is to help keep it flowing and to use
the cash flow to generate profits. If a business is operating profitably, then it
should, in theory, generate cash surpluses. If it doesn't generate surpluses, the
business will eventually run out of cash and expire.
The faster a business expands the more cash it will need for working capital
and investment. The cheapest and best sources of cash exist as working capital
right within business. Good management of working capital will generate cash
will help improve profits and reduce risks. One must bear in mind that the cost of providing credit to customers and holding stocks can represent a substantial
proportion of a firm's total profits.
There are two elements in the business cycle that absorb cash - Inventory
(stocks and work-in-progress) and Receivables (debtors owing you money). The
main sources of cash are Payables (your creditors) and Equity and Loans.
32 | P a g e
8/2/2019 DILEEP Final Project
33/91
Each component of working capital (namely inventory, receivables and
payables) has two dimensions........ Time ......... and Money. When it comes to
managing working capital Time is Money. If you can get money to move faster
around the cycle (e.g. collect monies due from debtors more quickly) or reduce
the amount of money tied up (e.g. reduce inventory levels relative to sales), the
business will generate more cash or it will need to borrow less money to fund
working capital. As a consequence, you could reduce the cost of bank interest or
you'll have additional free money available to support additional sales growth or
investment. Similarly, if you can negotiate improved terms with suppliers e.g. get
longer credit or an increased credit limit; you effectively create free finance tohelp fund future sales.
33 | P a g e
8/2/2019 DILEEP Final Project
34/91
34 | P a g e
It can be tempting to pay cash, if available, for fixed assets e.g. computers, plant, vehicles etc.
If you do pay cash, remember that this is no longer available for working capital. Therefore, if
cash is tight, consider other ways of financing capital investment - loans, equity, leasing etc.
Similarly, if you pay dividends or increase drawings, these are cash outflows and, like water
flowing downs a plug hole, they remove liquidity from the business.
Computation of Operating Cycle:
Operating Cycle = R+W+F+D-C
R= Raw material storage period
W= Work-in-progress period
F= Finished goods storage period
D= Debtors collection period
C=Creditors deferral Period
The various components of operating cycle may be calculated as shown below:

INTRODUCTION:
35 | P a g e
8/2/2019 DILEEP Final Project
36/91
Cash management is one of the key areas of working capital management.
Apart from the fact that it is the most current liquid assets, cash is the most common
denominator to which all the current assets can be reduced because the other major
liquid assets, that is, receivables and inventory get eventually converted into cash.
This underlines the significance of cash management.
Sources of Cash:
Sources of additional working capital include the following:
1. Existing cash reserves
2. Profits (when you secure it as cash!)
3. Payables (credit from suppliers)
4. New equity or loans from shareholders
5. Bank overdrafts or lines of credit.
6. Long-term loans
If you have insufficient working capital resources of the business this is called
overtrading. and try to increase sales, you can easily over-stretch the financial .
Early warning signs include:
1. Pressure on existing cash
36 | P a g e
8/2/2019 DILEEP Final Project
37/91
2. Exceptional cash generating activities e.g. offering
high discounts for early cash payment
3. Bank overdraft exceeds authorized limit.
4. Seeking greater overdrafts or lines of credit
5. Part-paying suppliers or other creditors.
6. Paying bills in cash to secure additional supplies
7. Management pre-occupation with surviving rather than managing
8. Frequent short-term emergency requests to the bank (to help pay wages,
pending receipt of a cheque).
CASH MANAGEMENT IN HCL INFOSYSTEMS:
37 | P a g e
8/2/2019 DILEEP Final Project
38/91
The cash management system followed by the HCLInfosystems is mainly lock box system.
Cash Management System involves the following steps:
1. The branch offices of the company at various locations hold the collection of cheques of the customers.
2. Those cheques are either handed over to the CMS agencies or bank of the particular location take charge of whole collection.
3. These CMS agencies or bank send those cheques to the clearing house to
make them realized. These cheques can be local or outstation.
4. The CMS agencies or bank send information to the central hub of the compa-ny regarding realization/cheque bounced.
5. The central hub passes on the realized funds to the company as per the agreedagreements.
6. The CMS agencies or concerned bank provides the necessary MIS to thecompany as per requirement.
In cash management the collect float taken for the cheques to be realized into cash is
irrelevant and non-interfering because banks such as Standard Chartered, HDFC and
Citibank who give credit on the basis of these cheques after charging a very small
amount. These credits are given to immediately and the maximum time taken might
be just a day. The amount they charge is very low and this might cover the threat of
the cheque sent in by two or three customers bouncing. Even otherwise the time
taken for the cheques to be processed is instantaneous. Their Cash Management
System is quite efficient.

MOTIVES FOR HOLDING CASH:
The term cash with reference to cash management is used in two senses. In a narrowsense, it is used to cover currency and generally accepted equivalents of cash, such
as cheques, drafts, demand deposits in banks. The broad view of cash also includes
near-cash such as marketable securities and time deposits in banks. The main
characteristics of these are that they can be readily sold and converted into cash.
Here, the term cash management is employed in the broader sense. Irrespective of
the form in which it is held, a distinguishing feature of cash, as an asset, is that it has
no earning power. If cash does not earn any return why it is held? There are four primary motives for maintaining cash balances:
Transaction Motive:
This is a motive of holding cash/near-cash to meet routine cash requirements to
finance the transactions which a firm carries on in the ordinary course of the
business. A firm enters into a variety of transactions to accomplish its objectives
which have to be paid for in the form of cash.
For e.g. cash payments have to be made for purchases, wages, operating expenses,
financial charges, and so on. Similarly, there is a regular inflow of cash to the from
sales operations, returns on investments and so on. These receipts and paymentsconstitute a continuous two way of cash, but they do not coincide or synchronize.
Hence, in case, the disbursements are in excess of current receipts the need of cash
balance is obvious.

Precautionary Motive:
In addition to the non-synchronization of anticipated cash inflows and outflows inthe ordinary course of business, a firm may have to pay the cash for the purposes
which cannot be predicted or anticipated. The unexpected cash needs at the short
notice may be the result of floods, strikes, and bills may be presented for settlement
earlier than expected, unexpected slowdown in collection of accounts receivables,
cancellation of some order of goods from customers, sharp increase in cost of raw
materials, etc. hence precautionary balances to meet unpredictable obligations are
required to provide a cushion to meet unexpected contingencies. Such cash balancesare usually held in the form of marketable securities so that they earn a return.
Speculative Motive:
It refers to the desire of the firm to take advantage of opportunities which presentthemselves at unexpected moments and which are typically outside the normal
course of business. While the precautionary motive is defensive in nature, that firms
must make provisions to handle unexpected contingencies, the speculative motive
represents a positive and aggressive approach. Firms aim to exploit profitable
opportunities and keep cash in reserve to do so.
The speculative motive helps to take advantage of:
purchase raw material at a reduced price on payment of immediate cash, a chance tospeculate on interest rate movements by buying securities when interest rates are
expected to decline.

Compensative Motive:Yet another motive to hold cash balances is to compensate banks for providing
certain services and loans. Banks provide a variety of services such as clearance of
cheques, supply of credit information and so on. While for some of this services
banks charge a commission or fee for other they seek indirect compensation.
Usually, the clients are required to maintain a minimum balance of cash at the bank
and the bank could return on such balances. Compensating balances are also
required by some loan agreements between a bank and its customers.

8/2/2019 DILEEP Final Project

FACTORS DETERMINING CASH NEEDS:
Synchronization of cash flows:The need of maintaining cash balances arises from the non-synchronization of the
inflows and outflows of cash. Hence the extent of non-synchronization of cash
receipts and disbursements determines the cash needs. For this a proper forecast
over period of time has to be made by making cash budgets.
Short costs: another factor to be considered in determining cash needs is the costsassociated with the shortfall in the cash needs. Some of the costs included in short
costs are as under:
1. Transaction costs associated with raising cash to cover the shortage.
2. Borrowing costs associated with the borrowing to cover the shortage like
interest, commitment charges, etc.
3. Loss of cash discount which cannot be availed because of the shortage of cash.
4. Cost associated with the deterioration of the credit rating which is reflected
in higher bang charges, stoppage of supplies, refusal to sell, loss of image.
5. Penalty rates by the bank to meet short fall in compensating balances.
42 | P a g e
8/2/2019 DILEEP Final Project
43/91
Excess cash balance costs:
The cost of having excessively large balances is known as excess cash balance cost.
Basically it is the loss of interest on idle funds which could have been earned if invested somewhere.
Procurement and management:
These are the costs associated with establishing and operating cash management
staff and activities. These are mainly fixed in nature like salaries, etc.
Uncertainty:
The impact of uncertainty on cash management strategy is also relevant as cash
flows cannot be predicted with precise accuracy. The motive is to provide a
precautionary cushion to cope up with irregularities in cash flows, unexpecteddelays in collections and disbursements.
43 | P a g e
8/2/2019 DILEEP Final Project

CASH BUDGET:
A firm is well advised to hold adequate cash balances but should avoid excessive
balances. The firm has; therefore, to assess its cash needs properly. The cash budget
is probably the most important tool in cash management. It is a device to help a firm
to plan and control the use of cash. It is a statement showing inflows and outflows
of cash over a period of time.
Purposes of cash budget:
1. To co-ordinate the timings of cash needs.
2. It pin-points the period when there is likely to be excess cash.
3. It enables a firm which has sufficient cash to take advantage of cash
discounts on its accounts payable, to pay obligations when due, to take
dividend decisions.
4. It helps to arrange needed funds on the most favourable terms and prevents
the accumulation of excess funds.
44 | P a g e
8/2/2019 DILEEP Final Project
45/91
ELEMENTS OF CASH BUDGET:
The principal aim of cash budget, as a tool to predict cash flows over a given period of time, is to ascertain whether at any point of time there is likely to be an
excess or shortage of cash. The elements of cash budget are as follows:
1. The first element of cash budget is the selection of the period of time to be
covered by the budget. It is referred to as the planning horizon. The coverage
of the cash budget will differ from firm to firm depending upon its nature
and the degree of accuracy with which the estimates can be made. However,the period selected should neither be too short or too long. If it is too short,
many important events which lie just beyond the period cannot be accounted
for and the work associated with the preparation of the budget becomes
excessive. If it is too long, the chances of inaccuracy will be high. The
planning horizon of cash budget depends upon the circumstances and
requirements of a particular case. If the flows are expected to be stable and
dependable, such from may prepare a cash budget covering a long period.
o However, in case of a firm whose flows are uncertain a short period
budget may be appropriate.
2. The second element of cash budget is the selection of the factors that have a
bearing on the cash flows. The items included in cash budget are only cash
items; non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization are excluded.

INTRODUCTION
46 | P a g e
8/2/2019 DILEEP Final Project
47/91
The receivables represent an important component of the
current assets of any firm. The term receivables are defined as debt owe to the firm
by the customers arising from sale of goods and services in the ordinary course of
business. When a firm makes an ordinary sale of goods or services and does not
receive payment, the firm grants trade credit and creates accounts receivable. It is
also referred as trade credit management. Management should way the benefits as
well as the costs to determine the goal of receivables management.
The term Receivables management may be defined as collection of steps and
procedures required to properly weigh the costs and benefits attached with the credit
policies. The receivables management consists of matching the costs of increasing
sales(particularly credit sales) with the benefits arising out of increased sales with
the objective of maximizing the return on investment of the firm.
OBJECTIVES:
The credit sales are generally made on open account in the sense that there are no
formal acknowledgements of debt obligations through a financial instrument. As a
marketing tool, they are intended to promote sales and thereby profits. However,
extension of credit involves risks and costs. The objective of receivables
management is to promote sales and profit until that point is reached where the
return on investments in funding receivables is less than the cost of funds raised to
finance the additional credit. The specific costs and benefits which are relevant to
the determination of objectives of receivable management are stated below:
Costs:The major categories of costs associated with accounts receivable are: i)
collection costs ii) capital costs iii) delinquency cost iv) default costs.
47 | P a g e
8/2/2019 DILEEP Final Project
48/91
o Collection costs:
These are administrative costs incurred in collecting the
receivables from the customers to whom credit sales have
been made.
o Capital costs:
The increased level of account receivable is an investment in
assets. They have to be financed involving a cost. The cost
on the use of additional capital to support credit sales could
be profitably employed.
o Delinquency costs:
It is the costs arising out of failure of customers to pay on
due date. The important components of this cost are:
2. blocking of the funds for an extended period
3. costs associated with steps that have to be initiated to collect the overdues.
o Default costs:
These are the overdues that cannot be recovered. Such debts
are treated as bas debts and have to be written-off as they
cannot be realized.
Benefits:
48 | P a g e
8/2/2019 DILEEP Final Project
49/91
The benefits are the increased sales and anticipated
profits because of a more liberal policy. When firms extend trade credit, i.e.
invest in receivables, they intend to increase the sales. The impact of the
liberal trade credit policy is likely to take two forms. First, it is oriented to
sales expansion. In other words, a firm may grant trade credit either to
increase sales to existing customers or attract new customers. This motive
for investment in receivables is growth oriented. Secondly, the firm may
extend credit to protect its current sales against emerging competition. Here,
the motive is sales retention. As a result of increased sales the profit of the
firm will increase.
Credit standards:
These are the basic criteria/minimum requirement for extending credit to a
customer. The factors for establishing standards are credit rating, credit
references, average payment period, and financial ratios. The trade-off with
reference to credit standards cover i) the collection costs ii) average
collection period/cost of investment in accounts receivable iii) level of bad
debt losses iv) level of sales. The implications of the four factors are
explained below.
Collection costs:
The implications are: i) more credit ii) a large credit department to
service accounts receivable iii) increase in collection cost.
Investment in receivables:
The investment in account receivable involves a capital cost as funds
have to be arranged by the firm to finance them till customers make
payments. Higher the average accounts receivable, the higher will be
the capital or carrying costs.
Bad debt losses:
49 | P a g e
8/2/2019 DILEEP Final Project
50/91
These can be expected to increase with
relaxation in credit standards and decrease if credit standards become
more restrictive.
Level of Sales:
As standards are relaxed, sales are expected to increase; conversely,
a tightening is expected to cause a decline in sales.
Credit analysis:It involves obtaining credit information and analysis of credit information. It
is on the basis of credit analysis that the decisions to grant credit to a
customer as well as the quantum of credit would be taken.
Obtaining credit information:
The first step is to obtain credit information on which the base is the
evaluation of the customers.
The sources of information are:
i) internal
ii) external
Internal:
The firm requires the customers to fill various forms and documents
giving details about financial operations. Another internal source is
derived from the records of the firm contemplating an extension of
credit.
External:
50 | P a g e
8/2/2019 DILEEP Final Project
51/91
The availability of information from external;
sources to assess the credit worthiness of the customers depends upon
development of institutional facilities and industrial practices. The
external sources are financial statements, bank references, trade
references and credit bureau reports.
Analysis of credit information:
Once the credit information has been collected from different sources, it
should be analysed to determine the credit worthiness of the applicant. It
covers two aspects:
i) quantitative
ii) qualitative.
Quantitative:
It is based on the factual information available from financial
statements, the past records of the firm and so on.
Qualitative:
It would cover aspects related to quality of management. Here, the
references from other suppliers, bank references and specialists bureau
reports would form the basis for conclusions to be drawn.

Introduction
52 | P a g e
8/2/2019 DILEEP Final Project
53/91
The term inventory refers to the stock of the products a firm is
offering for sale and the components that make up the product. That is, inventory is
composed of assets that will be sold in future in the normal course of business
operations. These assets are:
i) Raw materials
ii) Work-in-progress and
iii) Finished goods.
The purpose of inventory management is to keep the stock in such a manner that
neither there is over-stock nor under-stocking. The over-stocking will mean
reduction of liquidity and starving of other production processes; under-stocking, on
the other hand , will result in stoppage of work. The investments in inventory should
keep in reasonable limits.
The views concerning the appropriate level of inventory would differ among the
different functional areas.
Objectives
53 | P a g e
8/2/2019 DILEEP Final Project
54/91
Efficient management of inventory should ultimately result in
the maximization of owners wealth. The inventory should be turned over as quickly
as possible, avoiding stock-outs that might result in closing down the production
line or lead to a loss of sales. It implies that while the management should try to
pursue the financial objectives of turning inventory as quickly as possible, it should
at the same time ensure sufficient inventories to satisfy production and sale demand,
that is, these two conflicting requirements have to be reconciled. Alternatively, we
can say that the objective of inventory management is to minimize investment is
inventory and also to meet a demand for the product by efficiently organizing the
production and sales operation.
That is to say, an optimum level of inventory should be determined on
the basis of the trade-off between costs and benefits associated with the level of
inventory.
COST OF HOLDING INVENTORY
54 | P a g e
8/2/2019 DILEEP Final Project
55/91
The objective of inventory management is to minimize costs.
The costs associated with the inventory fall into two basic categories:
i) ordering costs, and
ii) carrying costs.
These costs are an important element of the optimal level of inventory
decisions and are described as under:
Ordering costs:
these are the costs associated with the acquisition or ordering of inventory. It is the fixed cost of placing and receiving an inventory order.
Included in the ordering costs are costs involved in one i)preparing a
purchase order or requisition form and ii) receiving, inspecting and
recording of the goods received to ensure both quality and quantity. These
are generally fixed irrespective of the amount of order. Hence, such costs
can be minimized by placing fewer orders for a larger amount. However,
acquisition of large quantity would increase the costs associated with the
maintenance of the inventory, that is, carrying costs.
Carrying costs:these costs are the variable costs per unit of holding an item in inventory for a specified time period. These
costs can be divided into two categories-
i) those that arise due to storing of inventory: the main components
of this category of costs are-
a) the storage costs, insurance, maintenance of the building ,
b) insurance of inventories against fire and theft,
55 | P a g e
8/2/2019 DILEEP Final Project
56/91
c) deterioration in inventory because of pilferage,
fire, technical obsolescence,
d) serving costs such as labour for handling,
ii) opportunity costs: this consists of expenses in raising funds. If funds
were not blocked up in inventory, they would have earned a return. This
is the opportunity cost of funds.
The sum of ordering and carrying costs represents the total cost of inventory.
TOTAL COST=ORDERING COST+CARRYING COST
56 | P a g e
8/2/2019 DILEEP Final Project
57/91
BENEFITS OF HOLDINGINVENTORY
The secondary element in the optimum inventory decision deals with the
benefits associated with holding inventory. The major benefits of holding inventory
is that they enable firms in the short run to produce at a rate greater than purchase of
raw materials and vice-versa, or sell at rate greater than production and vice-versa.
Inventory Management Techniques:
57 | P a g e
8/2/2019 DILEEP Final Project
58/91
Many sophisticated mathematical techniques are available to handle
inventory management problems.
Classification System:A B C System; The ABC system is a widely used classification technique to
identify various items of inventory for the purposes of inventory control.
This technique is based on the assumption that firm should not exercise the
same degree of control on all items of inventory. It should rather keep a
more rigorous control on items that are most costly and or slowest turning,
while items that are less expensive should be given a less control. Hence,ABC system is an inventory management technique that divides inventory
into three categories of descending importance based on rupee investment in
each.
The items included in group A involve the largest investment. Therefore,
inventory control should be most rigorous and intensive and the most
sophisticated inventory control, techniques should be applied to these items.
The C group items consist of items of inventory which involve relativelysmall investments, although the number of items is
fairly large. These items deserve minimum attention.
The group B stands mid-way. It deserves less attention than A but more
than C. It can be controlled by employing less sophisticated techniques.
The task of inventory management is to classify all the inventory items
Into one of these groups/categories.
58 | P a g e
8/2/2019 DILEEP Final Project
59/91
Order quantity problem:
EOQ model;
Economic order quantity model is the inventory management technique for determining items optimum order quantity which is the one that minimizes
the total of its ordering and carrying costs. It balances fixed ordering cost
against variable ordering costs. It is also known as economic lot size.
Mathematically it can be calculated by the following equation:
EOQ= 2AB/C
Where ,A= Annual usage in units
B= Ordering Cost
C= Carrying Cost
Setting of various stock levels:
Minimum level; It indicates the lowest figure of inventory balance,which must be maintained in hand at all times so that there is no
stoppages of production due to non-availability of inventory. The
main considerations for fixation of minimum level of inventory are
as follows:
1. Information about maximum consumption period and
maximum delivery period in respect of each item to
determine its re-order level.
2. Average rate of consumption for each inventory.
3. Average delivery period for each item.
The formula for calculation is as under:
Minimum level of inventory = Re-order level (Average rate of consumption xAverage time of inventory delivery)
59 | P a g e
8/2/2019 DILEEP Final Project
60/91
Maximum Level: It indicates the maximum figure of inventory
quantity held in stock at any time. The important considerations
which should govern the fixation of maximum levels of inventory
are as follows:
1. The information about its re-order level since it itself
depends upon its maximum rate of consumption and
maximum delivery period.
2. Knowledge about minimum consumption and minimum
delivery period for each inventory should also be known.
3. The figure of EOQ.
4. Availability of funds, storage space, nature of items and their
price per unit are also important for the fixation of maximum
level.
The formula for calculation is as under:
Maximum level of inventory = Re-order level + re-order quantity -(Minimum consumption x Minimum re-order period)
Re-order Level:
This level lies between the maximum and minimum levels in such a
way that before the material ordered is received into the stores, there
60 | P a g e
8/2/2019 DILEEP Final Project
61/91
is sufficient quantity on hand to cover both
normal and abnormal consumption situations. In other words, it is
the level at which fresh order should be placed for replenishment of
the stock.
The formula for calculation is as under:
Re-order level of inventory = Maximum re-order period xMaximum usage OR Minimum Level + (Average Rate of consumption x Average Time to obtain fresh supplies)
Danger Level:
61 | P a g e
8/2/2019 DILEEP Final Project
62/91
It is the level at which normal issues of the
raw material inventory are stopped and only emergency issues are
made.
The formula for calculation is as under:
Danger level of inventory = Average consumption x Lead time forEmergency purchases

The management of working capital plays a vital role in
running of a successful business. So, things should go with a proper understanding
for managing cash, receivables and inventory.
HCL Infosystems is managing its working capital in a good manner, but still there
is some scope for improvement in its management. This can help the company in
raising its profit level by making less investment in accounts receivables and
stocks etc. This will ultimately improve the efficiency of its operations.
Following are few recommendations given to the company in achieving its
desired objectives:
1. The business runs successfully with adequate amount of the working
capital but the company should see to it that the cash should not be tied up
in excessive amount of working capital.
2. Though the present collection system is near perfect, the company as
due to the increasing sales should adopt more effective measures so as to
counter the threat of bad debts.
3. The over purchasing function should be avoided as it could lead to
liquidity problems.

4. The investment of cash in marketable securities should be increased,
as it is very profitable for the company.
5. Holding of excessive and insufficient stock must be avoided as it
creates a burden on the cash resources of a business and results in lost sales,
delays for customers, etc respectively.
