CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Finance:
Finance is regarded as the lifeblood of business enterprises. This
is because; in the modern money oriented economy finance is one of the basic
foundations of all kinds of all kinds of economy.

Finance is the allocation of assets and liabilities over time under conditions of
certainty and uncertainty. A key point in finance is the time value of money,
which states that a unit of currency today is worth more than the same unit of
currency tomorrow. Finance aims to price assets based on their risk level, and
expected rate of return. Finance can be broken into three different sub
categories: public finance, corporate finance and personal finance.

Personal finance may involve paying for education, financing durable


goods such as real estate and cars, buying insurance, e.g. health and property
insurance, investing and saving for retirement.

Personal finance may also involve paying for a loan, or debt obligations. The
six key areas of personal financial planning, as suggested by the Financial
Planning Standards Board, are:

 Financial position: is concerned with understanding the personal


resources available by examining net worth and household cash flow.
Net worth is a person's balance sheet, calculated by adding up all assets
under that person's control, minus all liabilities of the household, at one
point in time. Household cash flow totals up all the expected sources of
income within a year, minus all expected expenses within the same year.

• From this analysis, the financial planner can determine to what degree
and in what time the personal goals can be accomplished.

• Adequate protection: the analysis of how to protect a household


from unforeseen risks. These risks can be divided into liability, property,
death, disability, health and long term care. Some of these risks may be
self-insurable, while most will require the purchase of an insurance
contract. Determining how much insurance to get, at the most cost
effective terms requires knowledge of the market for personal insurance.
Business owners, professionals, athletes and entertainers require
specialized insurance professionals to adequately protect themselves.
Since insurance also enjoys some tax benefits, utilizing insurance
investment products may be a critical piece of the overall investment
planning.

• Tax planning: typically the income tax is the single largest expense
in a household. Managing taxes is not a question of if you will pay
taxes, but when and how much. Government gives many incentives in
the form of tax deductions and credits, which can be used to reduce the
lifetime tax burden. Most modern governments use a progressive tax.
Typically, as one's income grows, a higher marginal rate of tax must be
paid. Understanding how to take advantage of the myriad tax breaks
when planning one's personal finances can make a significant impact.

• Investment and accumulation goals: planning how to accumulate


enough money - for large purchases and life events - is what most
people consider to be financial planning. Major reasons to accumulate
assets include, purchasing a house or car, starting a business, paying for

GOVERNMENT FIRST GRADE COLLEGE, VIJAYNAGAR Page 2


A STUDY ON INVENTORY MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL AT

education expenses, and saving for retirement. Achieving these goals


requires projecting what they will cost, and when you need to withdraw
funds. A major risk to the household in achieving their accumulation
goal is the rate of price increases over time, or inflation. Using net
present value calculators, the financial planner will suggest a
combination of asset earmarking and regular savings to be invested in a
variety of investments. In order to overcome the rate of inflation, the
investment portfolio has to get a higher rate of return, which typically
will subject the portfolio to a number of risks. Managing these portfolio
risks is most often accomplished using asset allocation, which seeks to
diversify investment risk and opportunity. This asset allocation will
prescribe a percentage allocation to be invested in stocks, bonds, cash
and alternative investments. The allocation should also take into
consideration the personal risk profile of every investor, since risk
attitudes vary from person to person.

• Retirement planning: is the process of understanding how much it


costs to live at retirement and coming up with a plan to distribute assets
to meet any income shortfall. Methods for retirement plan include taking
advantage of government allowed structures to manage tax liability
including: individual (IRA) structure or employer sponsored retirement
plans.

• Estate planning: involves planning for the disposition of one's assets


after death. Typically, there is a tax due to the state or federal
government at one's death. Avoiding these taxes means that more of
one's assets will be distributed to one's heirs. One can leave one's assets
to family, friends or charitable groups.

• Finance can be broken into three different sub categories;

• Public finance,

• Corporate finance and,

• Personal finance.

Financial accounting
An organization's inventory can appear a mixed blessing,
since it counts as an asset on the balance sheet, but it also ties up money that
could serve for other purposes and requires additional expense for its
protection. Inventory may also cause significant tax expenses, depending on
particular countries' laws regarding depreciation of inventory, as in Thor Power
Tool Company v. Commissioner.

Inventory appears as a current asset on an organization's balance sheet because


the organization can, in principle, turn it into cash by selling it. Some
organizations hold larger inventories than their operations require in order to
inflate their apparent asset value and their perceived profitability.

In addition to the money tied up by acquiring inventory, inventory also brings


associated costs for warehouse space, for utilities, and for insurance to cover
staff to handle and protect it from fire and other disasters, obsolescence,
shrinkage (theft and errors), and others. Such holding costs can mount up:
between a third and a half of its acquisition value per year.

Businesses that stock too little inventory cannot take advantage of large orders
from customers if they cannot deliver. The conflicting objectives of cost
control and customer service often pit an organization's financial and operating

GOVERNMENT FIRST GRADE COLLEGE, VIJAYNAGAR Page 4

managers against its sales and marketing departments. Salespeople, in


particular, often receive sales-commission payments, so unavailable goods may
reduce their potential personal income. This conflict can be minimized by
reducing production time to being near or less than customers' expected
delivery time. This effort, known as "Lean production" will significantly
reduce working capital tied up in inventory and reduce manufacturing costs.

GOVERNMENT FIRST GRADE COLLEGE, VIJAYNAGAR Page 5

INVENTORY
Inventory or stock refers to the goods and materials that a business holds for
the ultimate purpose of resale (or repair).

Inventory management is a science primarily about specifying the shape and


percentage of stocked goods. It is required at different locations within a
facility or within many locations of a supply network to precede the regular
and planned course of production and stock of materials.

The scope of inventory management 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 physical space for
inventory, quality management,

Replenishment, returns and defective goods, and demand forecasting.


Balancing these competing requirements leads to optimal inventory levels,
which is an on-going process as the business needs shift and react to the wider
environment.

Inventory management involves a retailer seeking to acquire and maintain a


proper merchandise assortment while ordering, shipping, handling, and related
costs are kept in check. It also involves systems and processes that identify
inventory requirements, set targets, provide replenishment techniques, report
actual and projected inventory status and handle all functions related to the
tracking and management of material. This would include the monitoring of
material moved into and out of stockroom locations and the reconciling of the
inventory balances. It also may include ABC analysis, lot tracking, cycle

GOVERNMENT FIRST GRADE COLLEGE, VIJAYNAGAR Page 6


A STUDY ON INVENTORY MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL AT

counting support, etc. Management of the inventories, with the primary


objective of determining/controlling stock levels within the physical
distribution system, functions to balance the need for product availability
against the need for minimizing stock holding and handling costs.

Reasons for keeping stock


There are four basic reasons for keeping an inventory

• Time - The time lags present in the supply chain, from supplier to user
at every stage, requires that you maintain certain amounts of inventory
to use in this lead time. However, in practice, inventory is to be
maintained for consumption during 'variations in lead time'. Lead time
itself can be addressed by ordering that many days in advance.

• Uncertainty - Inventories are maintained as buffers to meet


uncertainties in demand, supply and movements of goods.

• Economies of scale - Ideal condition of "one unit at a time at a place


where a user needs it, when he needs it" principle tends to incur lots of
costs in terms of logistics. So bulk buying, movement and storing brings
in economies of scale, thus inventory.

• Appreciation in Value - In some situations, some stock gains the


required value when it is kept for some time to allow it reach the desired
standard for consumption, or for production. For example; beer in the
brewing industry

All these stock reasons can apply to any owner or product

GOVERNMENT FIRST GRADE COLLEGE, VIJAYNAGAR Page 7

Objectives of Inventory management


The main Objective of inventory management is operational and
financial. The operational objective means that the Materials and Spares should
be available in sufficient quantity so that work is not disrupted for want of
inventory.

• To ensure that the supply of raw materials and finished goods will
remain continuous so that production process is not halted and demands
of customers are duly met.

• To maintain investments in inventories at the optimum levels as required


by the operational and sales activities.

• To facilitate furnishing of data for short term and long term planning and
control of inventory.

• To ensure perpetual inventory control so that materials shown in stock


ledgers should be actually lying in the stores.

• To ensure right quality goods at reasonable price. Suitable quality


standards will ensure proper quality of stocks. The price Analysis, the
cost analysis and value-Analysis will ensure payment of proper prices.

• To design proper organization or inventory management. A clear cut


accountability should be fixed at various levels of the organization

• The Financial objective means that investments in inventories should not


remain idle and minimum working capital should be locked in it.

• To eliminate duplication in ordering or replenishing stocks. This is


possible with the help of centralizing purchase.

• To keep material cost under control so that they contribute in reducing


cost of production and overall costs.

GOVERNMENT FIRST GRADE COLLEGE, VIJAYNAGAR Page 8


A STUDY ON INVENTORY MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL AT

Special terms used in dealing with inventory


Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) is a unique combination of all the
components that are assembled into the purchasable item. Therefore, any
change in the packaging or product is a new SKU. This level of detailed
specification assists in managing inventory.

• Stock out means running out of the inventory of an SKU.[1]

• "New old stock" (sometimes abbreviated NOS) is a term used in business to


refer to merchandise being offered for sale that was manufactured long ago
but that has never been used. Such merchandise may not be produced
anymore, and the new old stock may represent the only market source of a
particular item at the present time.

Principle of Inventory Proportionality


Purpose:
Inventory proportionality is the goal of demand-driven inventory
management. The primary optimal outcome is to have the same number of
days' (or hours', etc.) worth of inventory on hand across all products so that the
time of run out of all products would be simultaneous. In such a case, there is
no "excess inventory," that is, inventory that would be left over of another
product when the first product runs out. Excess inventory is sub-optimal
because the money spent to obtain it could have been utilized better elsewhere,
i.e. to the product that just ran out.

GOVERNMENT FIRST GRADE COLLEGE, VIJAYNAGAR Page 9


A STUDY ON INVENTORY MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL AT

The secondary goal of inventory proportionality is inventory minimization. By


integrating accurate demand forecasting with inventory management, rather
than only looking at past averages, a much more accurate and optimal outcome
is expected.

Integrating demand forecasting into inventory management in this way also


allows for the prediction of the "can fit" point when inventory storage is
limited on a per-product basis.

Applications:
The technique of inventory proportionality is most appropriate for
inventories that remain unseen by the consumer, as opposed to "keep full"
systems where a retail consumer would like to see full shelves of the product
they are buying so as not to think they are buying something old, unwanted or
stale; and differentiated from the "trigger point" systems where product is
reordered when it hits a certain level; inventory proportionality is used
effectively by just-in-time manufacturing processes and retail applications
where the product is hidden from view.

One early example of inventory proportionality used in a retail


application in the United States was for motor fuel. Motor fuel (e.g. gasoline) is
generally stored in underground storage tanks. The motorists do not know
whether they are buying gasoline off the top or bottom of the tank, nor need
they care. Additionally, these storage tanks have a maximum capacity and
cannot be overfilled. Finally, the product is expensive. Inventory
proportionality is used to balance the inventories of the different grades of
motor fuel, each stored in dedicated tanks, in proportion to the sales of each
grade. Excess inventory is not seen or valued by the consumer, so it is simply

GOVERNMENT FIRST GRADE COLLEGE, VIJAYNAGAR Page 10


A STUDY ON INVENTORY MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL AT

cash sunk (literally) into the ground. Inventory proportionality minimizes the
amount of excess inventory carried in underground storage tanks.

This application for motor fuel was first developed and implemented
by Petrol Soft Corporation in 1990 for Chevron Products Company. Most
major oil companies use such systems today.

High-level inventory management:


It seems that around 1880 there was a change in manufacturing practice
from companies with relatively homogeneous lines of products to horizontally
integrated companies with unprecedented diversity in processes and products.
Those companies (especially in metalworking) attempted to achieve success
through economies of scope - the gains of jointly producing two or more
products in one facility. The managers now needed information on the effect of
product-mix decisions on overall profits and therefore needed accurate
product-cost information. A variety of attempts to achieve this were
unsuccessful due to the huge overhead of the information processing of the
time. However, the burgeoning need for financial reporting after 1900 created
unavoidable pressure for financial accounting of stock and the management
need to cost manage products became overshadowed. In particular, it was the
need for audited accounts that sealed the fate of managerial cost accounting.
The dominance of financial reporting accounting over management
accounting remains to this day with few exceptions, and the financial reporting
definitions of 'cost' have distorted effective management 'cost' accounting since
that time. This is particularly true of inventory.

GOVERNMENT FIRST GRADE COLLEGE, VIJAYNAGAR Page 11


A STUDY ON INVENTORY MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL AT

Hence, high-level financial inventory has these two basic formulas, which
relate to the accounting period:

• Cost of Beginning Inventory at the start of the period +

inventory purchases within the period + cost of production within the

period = cost of goods available

• Cost of goods available − cost of ending inventory at the end of the

period = cost of goods sold

The benefit of these formulas is that the first absorbs all overheads of
production and raw material costs into a value of inventory for reporting. The
second formula then creates the new start point for the next period and gives a
figure to be subtracted from the sales price to determine some form of sales-
margin figure.

Manufacturing management is more interested in inventory turnover


ratio or average days to sell inventory since it tells them something about
relative inventory levels.

Inventory turnover ratio (also known as inventory turns) = cost of goods


sold / Average Inventory = Cost of Goods Sold / ((Beginning Inventory +
Ending Inventory) /

2) And it’s inverse

Average Days to Sell Inventory = Number of Days a Year / Inventory


Turnover Ratio = 365 days a year / Inventory Turnover Ratio

GOVERNMENT FIRST GRADE COLLEGE, VIJAYNAGAR Page 12


A STUDY ON INVENTORY MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL AT

This ratio estimates how many times the inventory turns over a
year. This number tells how much cash/goods are tied up waiting for the
process and is a critical measure of process reliability and effectiveness.
So a factory with two inventory turns has six months stock on hand,
which is generally not a good figure (depending upon the industry),
whereas a factory that moves from six turns to twelve turns has probably
improved effectiveness by 100%. This improvement will have some
negative results in the financial reporting, since the 'value' now stored in
the factory as inventory is reduced.

While these accounting measures of inventory are very useful because


of their simplicity, they are also fraught with the danger of their own
assumptions. There are, in fact, so many things that can vary hidden
under this appearance of simplicity that a variety of 'adjusting'
assumptions may be used. These include:

• Specific Identification

• Weighted Average Cost

• Moving-Average Cost

• FIFO and LIFO.

Inventory Turn 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.

GOVERNMENT FIRST GRADE COLLEGE, VIJAYNAGAR Page 13


A STUDY ON INVENTORY MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL AT

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...

Accounting for inventory :


Each country has its own rules about accounting for inventory that fit
with their financial-reporting rules.

For example, organizations in the U.S. define inventory to suit their needs
within US Generally Accepted Accounting Practices (GAAP), the rules defined
by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) (and others) and
enforced by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and other
federal and state agencies. Other countries often have similar arrangements but
with their own accounting standards and national agencies instead.

It is intentional that financial accounting uses standards that allow the public to
compare firms' performance, cost accounting functions internally to an
organization and potentially with much greater flexibility. A discussion of
inventory from standard and Theory of Constraints-based (throughput) cost
accounting perspective follows some examples and a discussion of inventory
from a financial accounting perspective.

The internal costing/valuation of inventory can be complex. Whereas in the


past most enterprises ran simple, one-process factories, such enterprises are
quite probably in the minority in the 21st century. Where 'one process' factories

GOVERNMENT FIRST GRADE COLLEGE, VIJAYNAGAR Page 14


A STUDY ON INVENTORY MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL AT

exist, there is a market for the goods created, which establishes an independent
market value for the good. Today, with multistage-process companies, there is
much inventory that would once have been finished goods which is now held
as 'work in process' (WIP). This needs to be valued in the accounts, but the
valuation is a management decision since there is no market for the partially
finished product. This somewhat arbitrary 'valuation' of WIP combined with
the allocation of overheads to it has led to some unintended and undesirable
results.

FIFO vs. LIFO Accounting


Main article: FIFO and LIFO accounting

When a merchant buys goods from inventory, the value of the inventory
account is reduced by the cost of goods sold (COGS). This is simple where the
CoG has not varied across those held in stock; but where it has, then an agreed
method must be derived to evaluate it. For commodity items that one cannot
track individually, accountants must choose a method that fits the nature of the
sale. Two popular methods that normally exist are: FIFO and LIFO
accounting (first in - first out, last in - first out). FIFO regards the first unit that
arrived in inventory as the first one sold. LIFO considers the last unit arriving
in inventory as the first one sold. Which method an accountant selects can have
a significant effect on net income and book value and, in turn, on taxation.
Using LIFO accounting for inventory, a company generally reports lower net
income and lower book value, due to the effects of inflation. This generally
results in lower taxation. Due to LIFO's potential to skew inventory value, UK
GAAP and IAS have effectively banned LIFO inventory accounting.

GOVERNMENT FIRST GRADE COLLEGE, VIJAYNAGAR Page 15

National accounts:

Inventories also play an important role in national accounts and the analysis of
the business cycle. Some short-term macroeconomic fluctuations are attributed
to the inventory cycle.

Distressed inventory:

Also known as distressed or expired stock, distressed inventory is


inventory that’s potential to be sold at a normal cost has passed or will soon
pass. In certain industries it could also mean that the stock is or will soon be
impossible to sell. Examples of distressed inventory include products that have
reached their expiry date, or have reached a date in advance of expiry at which
the planned market will no longer purchase them (e.g. 3 months left to expiry),
clothing that is defective or out of fashion, music that is no longer popular and
old newspapers or magazines. It also includes computer or consumer-electronic
equipment that is obsolete or discontinued and whose manufacturer is unable to
support it. One current example of distressed inventory is the VHS format.[4] In
2001, Cisco wrote off inventory worth US $2.25 billion due to duplicate
orders.[5] This is one of the biggest inventory write-offs in business history.

GOVERNMENT FIRST GRADE COLLEGE, VIJAYNAGAR Page 16


A STUDY ON INVENTORY MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL AT

Stock Rotation;

Stock Rotation is the practice of changing the way inventory is


displayed on a regular basis. This is most commonly used in hospitably and
retail - particularity where food products are sold. For example, in the case of
supermarkets that a customer frequents on a regular basis, the customer may
know exactly where they want and where it is. This results in many customers
going straight to the product they seek and do not look at other items on sale.
To discourage this practice, stores will rotate the location of stock to encourage
customers to look through the entire store. This is in hopes the customer will
pick up items they would not normally see.

Inventory credit:

Inventory credit refers to the use of stock, or inventory,


as collateral to raise finance. Where banks may be reluctant to accept
traditional collateral, for example in developing countries where land title may
be lacking, inventory credit is a potentially important way of overcoming
financing constraints. This is not a new concept; archaeological evidence
suggests that it was practiced in Ancient Rome. Obtaining finance against
stocks of a wide range of products held in a bonded warehouse is common in
much of the world. It is, for example, used with Parmesan cheese in
Italy.[7] Inventory credit on the basis of stored agricultural produce is widely
used in Latin American countries and in some Asian countries.[8] A
precondition for such credit is that banks must be confident that the stored
product will be available if they need to call on the collateral; this implies the
existence of a reliable network of certified warehouses. Banks also face
GOVERNMENT FIRST GRADE COLLEGE, VIJAYNAGAR Page 17
A STUDY ON INVENTORY MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL AT

problems in valuing the inventory. The possibility of sudden falls in


commodity prices means that they are usually reluctant to lend more than about
60% of the value of the inventory at the time of the loan.

Cost of Goods Sold:

Cost of goods sold or COGS refer to the carrying value of goods sold
during a particular period.

Costs are associated with particular goods using one of several formulas,
including specific identification, first-in first-out (FIFO), or average cost. Costs
include all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in
bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Costs of goods
made by the business include material, labor, and allocated overhead. The costs
of those goods not yet sold are deferred as costs of inventory until the
inventory is sold or written down in value.

Stock management:
Stock management is the function of understanding the stock mix of a
company and the different demands on that stock. The demands are influenced
by both external and internal factors and are balanced by the creation
of purchase order requests to keep supplies at a reasonable or prescribed level.

Stock management in the retail supply chain follows the following sequence:

• Request for new stock from stores to head office

• Head office issues purchase orders to the vendor

• Vendor ships the goods


GOVERNMENT FIRST GRADE COLLEGE, VIJAYNAGAR Page 18
A STUDY ON INVENTORY MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL AT

• Warehouse receives the goods

• Warehouse stocks and distributes to the stores

• Stores receive the goods

• Goods are sold to customers at the stores

The management of the inventory in the supply chain involves managing the
physical quantities as well as the costing of the goods as it flows through the
supply chain.

In managing the cost prices of the goods throughout the supply chain, several
costing methods are employed:

• Retail method

• Weighted Average Price method

• FIFO (First In First Out) method

• LIFO (Last In First Out) method

• LPP (Last Purchase Price) method

• BNM (Bottle neck method)

Weighted average price method:


The calculation can be done for different periods. If the calculation
is done on a monthly basis, then it is referred to the periodic method. In this
method, the available stock is calculated by:

ADD Stock at beginning of period


ADD Stock purchased during the period

GOVERNMENT FIRST GRADE COLLEGE, VIJAYNAGAR Page 19


A STUDY ON INVENTORY MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL AT

AVERAGE total cost by total qty to arrive at the Average Cost of Goods for
the period.

This Average Cost Price is applied to all movements and adjustments in that
period.
Ending stock in qty is arrived at by Applying all the changes in qty to the
Available balance.
Multiplying the stock balance in qty by the Average cost gives the Stock cost at
the end of the period.

Using the perpetual method, the calculation is done upon every purchase
transaction.

Thus, the calculation is the same based on the periodic calculation whether by
period (periodic) or by transaction (perpetual).

The only difference is the 'periodicity' or scope of the calculation. - Periodic is


done monthly - Perpetual is done for the duration of the purchase until the next
purchase

In practice, the daily averaging has been used to closely approximate the
perpetual method. 6. Bottle neck method ( depends on proper planning support)

Business models:

Just-in-time Inventory (JIT), Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI)


and Customer Managed Inventory (CMI) are a few of the popular models being
employed by organizations looking to have greater stock management control.

JIT is a model that attempts to replenish inventory for organizations when the
inventory is required. The model attempts to avoid excess inventory and its

GOVERNMENT FIRST GRADE COLLEGE, VIJAYNAGAR Page 20


A STUDY ON INVENTORY MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL AT

associated costs. As a result, companies receive inventory only when the need
for more stock is approaching.

VMI and CMI are two business models that adhere to the JIT inventory
principles. VMI gives the vendor in a vendor/customer relationship the ability
to monitor, plan and control inventory for their customers. Customers
relinquish the order making responsibilities in exchange for timely inventory
replenishment that increases organizational efficiency.

CMI allows the customer to order and control their inventory from their
vendors/suppliers. Both VMI and CMI benefit the vendor as well as the
customer. Vendors see a significant increase in sales due to increased inventory
turns and cost savings realized by their customers, while customers realize
similar benefits.

CHAPTER 2
RESEARCH DESIGN

A research report is a written document or oral presentation based


on a written document that communicates the purpose, scope, objectives,
methodology, findings, limitations and finally recommendation of a research
project to others.

“Research is a careful enquiry or examination to discover new information or


relationships and to expand and to verify existing knowledge”

"FRANCIS RUMMEL"

“Research is essentially an investigation, a recording and analysis of Evidence


for the purpose of gaining Knowledge”

“ROBERT ROSS”

A research design is a systematic plan to study a scientific problem.


The design of a study defines the study type (descriptive, co relational, semi-
experimental, experimental, review, meta-analytic) and sub-type (e.g.,
descriptive-longitudinal case study), research question, hypotheses,
independent and dependent variables, experimental design, and, if applicable,
data collection methods and a statistical analysis plan.

GOVERNMENT FIRST GRADE COLLEGE, VIJAYNAGAR Page 22


A STUDY ON INVENTORY MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL AT

After deciding the basic aspects of research project (i.e. formulating research
problem, objectives of research, data requirement, sample design, etc) and
before the commencement of work of research project, the researcher has to
prepare research design. It is a major step in the research process /procedure.
The research work will be conducted (i.e. data collection, etc) as per the
research design prepared. Research design means to prepare detailed plan and
procedures for the conduct of the research project. It is like preparing a master
plan/blue print for the conduct of formal investigation. It is the basic plan that
guides researcher in the execution of the research project undertaken. It is like
road map which enables the researcher to conduct various activities for the
completion of research project.

In short, research design is a systematic planning, organising and executing a


research project within specified time limit and resource allocation. Research
design tells the type of data to be collected, the sources of data and the
procedures to be followed in data collection. Research design provides suitable
framework that guides the collection and analysis of data.
