PREFACE
EXPERIENCE MAKES MAN PERFECT
TRAINING IS BRIDGE BETWEEN THE THEORY AND PRACTICE"
As it is said that study with knowledge you know only theoretical work and with
experience you know the exact practical functioning and meaning
The objective of the practical training at this level is to let the student know the work
culture in an industrial environment and prevailing business practice and develop them on a
practical basis as well as theoretical.
New technologies arising are helpful to get a batter practical knowledge and
experience. Management study can never be completed without practical training and perfection
is the basic necessity of a management student. Hence, training provides a golden opportunity
with the working environment.
Training gives meaning to the knowledge of student, industrial training is the first
step of student toward the giant world and helps student to prepare themselves for the future and
supply their knowledge in practical life.
Fortunately, we got golden opportunity to visit and complete our training at Gujarat
alkalies and chemicals limited at Ranoli, vadodara. Hence, we got chance to see the department
and imbibe a lot learning of the subject.
We learn that management is manage + man +t (time, task,etc.). We all agreewith this statement and wish to include that successful management of complex organization
cant be possible through intuition of trial and error. So, theoretical knowledge should be
supplemented by practical experience.
The main objective of practical at BBA level is to develop skill in students byhelping them to gain real life knowledge about the industrial environment and business practice.

HISTORY OF THE COMPANY
Gujarat Alkalies And Chemical Ltd. (GACL)
is one of the largest producers of the caustic soda in the
country. Gujarat Alkalies and Chemicals Limited (GACL)
was incorporated on 29th March, 1973 in the State of
Gujarat by Gujarat Industrial Investment Corporation
Limited (GIIC), a wholly owned company of Govt. of
Gujarat, as a Core Promoter.
GACL has two units located at
Vadodara and Dahej, both in the state of Gujarat.
The Company commenced its operations in 1976
with 37,425 MTPA Caustic Soda Plant based on the
then, state-of-the-art Mercury Cell process at its
Plant which is situated 16 km North of Vadodara
near Village Ranoli on the main Railway track route
between Ahmedabad and Mumbai.
Right from the
inception, GACL hasbeen following the strategy of continuous capacity expansion
in core areas. The first stage expansion of the caustic soda
plant raising the capacity to 70,425 MTPA was undertaken in
October, 1981 followed by a diversification program to
produce 200 MTPA of sodium cyanide in December, 1982.
In 1984, the second stage expansion
to increase the capacity of caustic soda plant to
1,03,425 MTPA was undertaken. Simultaneously,
the company undertook the diversity project for
manufacture of 10,560 MTPA of chloromethane
using chlorine, a co-product of the company and in
1991, the capacity of the chloromethane production
was doubled.

As power is the major input for
production of caustic soda and constitutes about
65%-70% of the cost production, the company along
with other corporation likes GSFC, Petrofils Co-
operative Ltd. And Gujarat Electricity Boardpromoted a gas based power unit in vadodara under
the name of Gujarat Industrial Power Company Ltd.
(GIPCL).during the year 1985. As a promoter of
GIPCL, the company gets low cost power, as the
plant is gas based and is depreciated.
Since production of caustic soda is
highly power intensive, in order to reduce power
cost and to eliminate mercury pollution, thecompany during the year 1989 converted one of its
cell house producing caustic soda from mercury
cell technology to environment friendly membrane
cell technology, thereby eliminating the total use of
mercury. The capacity of caustic coda was also
increased to 13200 MTA
The convention of second mercury cell
membrane cell was carried out during march, 1994,thereby eliminating the total use of mercury from the
complex for production of caustic coda and
increasing the capacity of the plant along with this
conversion to 17000MTA including potassium
hydroxide facility As part of this Membrane Cell
Conversion Project, a new facility for manufacture of
16500 MTA of Potassium Hydroxide Lye based on
Membrane Cell was also set up. The Company has
further set up facility for converting part of this Caustic
Potash Lye into Potassium Carbonate with a capacity of
13200
In order to add further value to its products, the
company had set up manufacturing facility for production
of 11000 MTA Hydrogen Peroxide (100%) at Vadodara
Complex during the year 1996 to utilize Hydrogen gas,
which is a co-product from Caustic Soda Process.

In 1995, as a part of diversification program and to meet the growing demand of its
products in the State of Gujarat and nearby areas, the Company had set up a plant for
manufacture of Technical Grade Phosphoric Acid with capacity of 26400 MTA (85% Phosphoric
Acid) at a new location at Dahej, District Bharuch. The Company also set up Membrane Cell
based grass root Caustic-Chlorine Unit with a capacity of 100000 MTA at Dahej. Along with this,a captive 90 MW co-generation Power Plant was set up so as to ensure uninterrupted and low
cost power for its captive operations.
It has integrated manufacturing facilities
for caustic soda, chlorine, hydrogen gas,
hydrochloric acid, chloromethane, hydrogen
peroxide, phosphoric acid, carbonate, sodium
cyanide, sodium Ferro cyanide. The dahej unit
also has 90 MW captive power plants (CPP) forregular and economical power supply.
The year 2000, Gacl started the production of
caustic potash flakes in Baroda. In 2001, there was
increase in production capacity of H2O2 to 1259 MTPA.
For the year ended 31.03.2009, the company
achieved its highest ever turnover (including excise duty)
of rs.1,564.13 cr., an increase of about 18.28% fromrs.1,322.39 crore in the corresponding previous year.

CORPORATE IMAGE:
GACL is a forward-looking company, set up in the year 1973. 30 years is along time. Long enough to test the character of any organization. Be it recession, inflation,increased competition or changing governments, we've lived it all. And for sure, all theturbulences have made GACL a stronger and a progressive company.
Our stern resolve to manufacture quality chemicals and trek customersatisfaction to a new height has yielded unbelievable results. From an initial capacity of37,425 TPA Caustic Soda, we have grown to be the largest producer in India, with acapacity of 3, 58,760 TPA. Spread over 2 complexes at Vadodara and Dahej.
Knowing that the time ahead may prop-up newer hurdles, GACL has already
started to diversify and expand its existing infrastructure to consolidate its supremacy in Chlor-Alkali and other integrated downstream products.
PEOPLE: OUR VALUED ASSETS
World-class technology and self-reliance are baseless without brains that work
ardently to produce high quality chemicals. People are our real assets, whom we nurture and
harness to get the very best out of them.
Our conviction is:
People make the organization.
A sense of belonging is a must for dedication and loyalty.
Employees give their best when the company cares for them.
Ethical and transparent operations have contributed to a very great extent in
bringing a turnaround at GACL. Excellent labor relationship helped the company in achieving
very high manpower production turnover per employee per annum. This is also a result of a
thin and lean workforce, which is lead by the professional management.
GREEN ALL THE WAY
Nature bestows human race with umpteen benefits. Clean air, Lush green trees,
GACL's commitment towards the environment is undying. Safe and unadulterated nature is
high on our list of priorities; we are an organization with Green Attitude.
A dedicated senior executive heads a Safety and Environment Department to
maintain high standards of safety and a harmonious relationship between environment and
technology. The company has planted more than 1, 00,000 plants and it keeps maintaining

the same. With tree plantation being a regular feature, it plants 1000 sapling every year.
Rainwater harvesting and collection is a part of routine activity at GACL. This water is then
utilized for the maintenance of green belts.
The vermin culture concept has been implemented in the premises to convertwaste generated by the canteen, gardens and plants to vermin compost. GACL has been a
pioneer in adopting the environment friendly and energy efficient technologies. It converted to
Membrane Cell Technology from Mercury Cell Technology way back in 1989 and since 1994
all the plants are running on Mercury free Membrane Cell Technology.
As a matter of strategy, the company has placed sensors at strategic locations
in and around the complex to monitor ambient air quality. For disposal of solid waste, GACL
has secured dedicated landfill site conforming to the hazardous Waste Management Act.
Being a member of Effluent Channel Project, it releases its liquid effluent in this channel and
adheres to the necessary parameters of the Gujarat Pollution Control Board before
discharging it into the channel.
World Class Technology
Technology moulds generations. Our endeavor to continually upgrade technologyhas allowed us to optimize resources, thus bringing down the cost of production andincreasing revenues.
Acquired through the best and prestigious collaborations means that they meet
international specifications for our products Besides, our manufacturing plants are eco-friendly, which ensure that the environment is well looked after. The location of both theplants 'Vadodara' and 'Dahej' has dual advantage of proximity to the raw material suppliersand the end users.
While the capacity utilization is about 70% in the Caustic Soda Industry, GACL'splants are working at almost 100% capacity.... thereby utilizing the assets to the fullest extent.Further the company takes pride in having honored its commitments without fail. Thecompany has made its presence felt across the globe even against stiff competition byexporting products to USA, Europe, Australia, Africa, Far & Middle East countries, China &South Asian Markets.
GACL has adapted to the age of information technology for fast and uninterruptibleinformation exchange. Both plants of Vadodara and Dahej are connected by VSAT and leaselines. This provides on-line information at any given point of time.
SELF-RELIANCEVarious factors that influence the success of any corporation, the self-sufficiency
rank the foremost. We at GACL understand this all too well. Power, being a major input tothe electrolytic Caustic Soda process, we promoted a joint captive power plant, GujaratIndustries Power Company Limited to meet our energy requirements for Vadodara Complex.

INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
Meaning of inventory management
In any business or organization, all functions are interlinked and connected to each other and areoften overlapping. Some key aspects like supply chain management, logistics and inventory form
the backbone of the business delivery function.
Therefore these functions are extremely important to marketing managers as well as finance
controllers.
Inventory management is a very important function that determines the health of the supply
chain as well as the impacts the financial health of the balance sheet. Every organization
constantly strives to maintain optimum inventory to be able to meet its requirements and avoidover or under inventory that can impact the financial figures.
Inventory is always dynamic. Inventory management requires constant and careful evaluation of
external and internal factors and control through planning and review. Most of the organization
has a separate department or job function called inventory planners who continuously monitor,
control and review inventory and interface with production, procurement and finance department.
Definition of inventory management
Inventory is an idle stock of physical goods that contain economic value, and are held in variousforms by an organization in its custody awaiting packing, processing, transformation, use or salein a future point of time. Any organization which is into production, trading, sale and service of aproduct will necessarily hold stock of various physical resources to aid in future consumption andsale.
While inventory is a necessary evil of any such business, it may be noted that the organizationhold inventories for various reasons, which include speculative purposes, functional purposes,physical necessities etc.

Motives for holding inventory
Transaction motive
It emphasizes the need to realization of inventories to facilitate smooth production andsales operation.
Precautionary motive
It emphasizes the need to hold the inventories against the risk of unpredictable changesin demand and supply of ever and other factors.
Speculative motive
It influences the decision to increase or the inventory levels so as to take advantages of
price fluctuations.
The three motives are to be balance properly to arrive at the optimum level of inventory inorder to effective control.

1. Meet variation in production demand
Production plan changes in response to the sales, estimates, orders and stocking patterns.
Accordingly the demand for raw material supply for production varies with the product plan aswell as batch quantities. Holding inventories at a nearby warehouse helps issue the required
quantity and item to production just in time.
2. Cater to cyclical and seasonal demand
Market demand and supplies are seasonal depending upon various factors like seasons;
festivals etc and past sales data help companies to anticipate a huge surge of demand in the
market well in advance. Accordingly they stock up raw materials and hold inventories to be able
to increase production and rush supplies to the market to meet the increased demand
3. Economies of scale in production
Buying raw materials in larger lot and holding inventory is found to be cheaper for the companythan buying frequent small lots. In such cases one buys in bulk and holds inventories at the plantwarehouse
4. Take advantages of price increase and quantity discounts
If there is a price increase expected few months down the line due to changes in demand andsupply in the national or international market, impact of taxes and budgets etc, the companystend to buy raw materials in advance and hold tocks as a hedge against increased costs.
Companies resort to buying in bulk and holding raw material inventories to take advantages ofthe quantity discounts offered by the supplier. In such cases the savings on account of thediscount enjoyed would be substantially higher that of inventory carrying cost.
5. Reduce transit cost and transit times
In case of raw materials being imported from a foreign country or from a far away vendor withinthe country, one can save a lot in terms of transportation cost buy buying in bulk and transportingas a container load or a full truck load. Part shipments can be costlier.
In terms of transit time too, transit time for full container shipment or a full truck load is direct and
faster unlike part shipment load where the freight forwarder waits for other loads to fill the
container which can take several weeks.
There could be a lot of factors resulting in shipping delays and transportation too, which can
hamper the supply chain forcing companies to hold safety stock of raw material inventories.
6. Long lead and high demand items need to be held in inventory
Often raw material suppliers from vendors have long running into several months, coupled with
this if the particular item is in high demand and short supply one can expect disruption of
supplies. In such cases it is safer to hold inventories and have control.

Accounting method for inventory management:
Specific Identification
Weighted Average Cost Moving-Average Cost
FIFO and LIFO.
Inventory Turnover is a financial accounting tool for evaluating inventory and it is not
necessarily a management tool. Inventory management should be forward looking.
The methodology applied is based on historical cost of goods sold. The ratio may not
be able to reflect the usability of future production demand, as well as customer
demand. Business models, including Just in Time (JIT) Inventory, Vendor Managed Inventory
(VMI) and Customer Managed Inventory (CMI), attempt to minimize on-hand
inventory and increase inventory turns. VMI and CMI have gained considerable
attention due to the success of third-party vendors who offer added expertise and
knowledge that organizations may not possess.
Relevant Inventory Costs:
Ordering costs
Receiving and inspections costs
Holding or carrying costs
Shortage cost

Benefits of inventory management
In a report by Stylus, he highlighted the following as some of the benefits of inventory
management (Stylus, 2008):
Inventory management systems can help reduce the time to respond to changing
market demand of products and can help control excess stock
IMS provide a means for business to effectively manage or control their inventory
IMS helps businesses to constantly analyze their business processes such as sales
and purchasing in order to make efficient inventory decisions
Stylus systems also reported that inventory management systems IMS can provide
total insight on stock transactions
Stylus systems also stated that IMS can provide hands on knowledge on inventory
which might lead to increased sales and efficient customer services.
INVENTORY CONTROL
According to business link in an article, an organization has an efficient inventory control
only when they have the "right amount of stock in the right place and at the right time"
(Business link, 2006). Inefficient Inventory control can leads slower sales and disappointed
customers.
Inventory control basically deals with reducing the total cost of inventory. Inventory control
is very relevant for businesses, especially businesses dealing with a large variety of
products. As site by Hossein Arsham, Inventory management or control can be used tostreamline warehouse processes in order to track orders and shipment (Arsham, 2006).
Other important applications of inventory management systems are in manufacturing,
shipping, and receiving. As stated by Arsham, there are three main factors in inventory
control decision making process (Arsham, 2006).
1. The cost of holding the stock: this is the cost associated carrying inventory over time
and involves having items in storage. This includes interest, taxes, insurance, spoilage,
breakage and warehousing cost like light, rent.

Methods of Inventory Control
Today, the growth of businesses has provided a necessity to develop a more
complicated and highly analytical form of inventory management. The above inventory
management systems became difficult and inefficient. As a result, computer systems to
control inventory was introduced. These systems include:
Point-of-sale terminals: this stores information of each item that is used or sold.
Off-line point-of-sale terminals: this transmits sales information directly to the supplier's
computer system. The supplier then uses this information to ship necessary items
automatically to the retailers
The last method for inventory control is carried out by an external agency. As
sited by Floyd Hedrick, it involves removal of unwanted products from stock which can be
returned to the manufacture. This however has to occur after an agreement and frequent
scheduled visit by the manufacturer's representative to the large retailer in order to record
stock count and writes the reorder. The main aim of the above systems was to provide a
more efficient system that will be able to identify the cost of each inventory. According to
the report, two main control values are used:
1. The Economic order quantity (EOQ) that is the size of the order
2. The reorder point which is the lowest quantity that a stock or an item can be before
more quantity is ordered.
The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) is a formula that is used mainly for calculating the
annual cost for ordering an item. It is widely used by most businesses and involves theactual cost of placing an order, the cost of carrying inventory as well as the annual sales
rate.

Inventory management at GACL
Many of the items company need for day to day maintenance and operations. The time to
procure these materials may be longer due to various reasons and it is not possible to procurethese materials when instantaneously required. It is therefore necessary to keep stocks of such
items.
Even for those items which are readily available in the market, it may not be economically to buy
these items every time as buying in piecemeal involve additional cost to the administration.
Therefore it is cheaper to buy in bulk and stock some of these items and supply indenters
through such stocks.
On the other hand inventory is very valuable resource for uninterrupted production and on the
other hand excess of inventory holding locked up capital. Optimum level of stock is necessary forGACL. As it is having continuous production optimum inventory is maintained so that production
is not affected due to shortage of raw materials.
GACL is using ABC analysis technique for the purpose of inventory management. GACL is
having more than one supplier for its raw materials as the quality required by GACL is large
which cannot be supplied by a single supplier. The procurement of raw material is done through
yearly rate contracts which are finalized in the beginning of the financial year. They consumed
and valued the inventory by following weighted average method.
GACL uses its stocks for getting credit for working capital from financial institutions. So inventory
management is very important issue for continuous production as well as financing its working
capital.
Process of purchasing inventory:
As per GACL, material management is for effective utilization of material resources toachieve organizational goal.
There are four function of material management:
1.) Purchasing
2.) Stores management,
3.) Inventory control,
4.) Scrap disposal (obsolete/surplus item)
