INTRODUCTION OF COMPANY
The latest state of the art, new emerging, powerful and cost effective technologies
have been the main reason to set up different kind of industries like, Engineers,
Textile, Mining, Food processing, Cement, Constructions, Chemical, Drugs &
Pharmaceutical, Petrochemical, Marine, Effluent treatment, left irrigation projects,
Power plants, solvent plants, off-shore plants, Sugar, Steel, Automation &
Automobile etc.
In each and every of the above said industries one device plays a crucial role. This
device is called as a VALVE a valve is a device that controls the flow rate of fluid,
charges the direction of flow, allows a fluid to flow in only one direction, allows an
user to take samples, increase the velocity of the fluid, controls the pressure drop in
pipe and for many other application.
Thus there would be a tremendous requirement for valve both in domestic and
global market. Looking at the global market, it can be realized that 40% of the
global valve manufacturers are based in India. Among this 40%, 15-20%is based at
Hubli city, which is well connected to all metropolitan cities of India by Road, rail
& airways.
Hubli city has got a history of valve manufacturing industries. Valves & pumps
manufacturing giants like MIRCOFINISH VALVES; BDK VALVES &AKAY
INDUSTRIES have made their base at hubli since last 35 year.
The main reason for selecting Hubli city for the above activity is, availability of
raw materials, finished goods, bought out items, well equipped machine shops,
testing facilities, and more over cheap labor with high quality consciousness. All
these features have made Hubli an ideal city for valve manufacturing.

Thus it is concluded that a valve & gearbox is considered as heart of any type of
process industry, thereby making an industry to run smoothly without creating any
type of accidents and hazardous environments.
“Micon Engineers (Hubli) pvt.Ltd.” A sister concern of “Tec flow valves (India)
pvt.Ltd.” Started its operations at Hubli with a set of committed engineers and
workmen focusing on supplying of “Aquaria series” valves such as, butterfly
valves, dual plate check valves, air release valves, etc, to the Global valves
exporter based at Mumbai.
Innovation, Reinvention and Diversification are a continuous process at “MICON
ENGINEERS” Be it a new product development or enhancement of older
product, we at MICON ENGINEERS are constantly striving to give the customers
maximum value for their investment, widest product range and most complete

BALL VALVES
Ball valves come in two basic designs: Floating Ball and Trunnion Mounted, with
three basic construction variants: Three piece, End Entry and Top Entry with
options of either full or reduced bore designs. Principally designed as an on/off
isolation valve for a very wide range of temperatures and pressures they have
inherent quick opening flow characteristics. Specially designed ball valves
however, may offer good flow control capabilities at High Pressure. All ball
valves offer compact actuation due to their rotary quarter-turn operation. Fire safe
versions are available for use in the oil and petrochemical industries
BUTTERFLY VALVES
One of the most compact & light-weight valves available are used for a wide range
of applications, the choice of seat, lining and disc options has increased
significantly over recent years making the valve a popular choice. A wide range of
materials, sizes and pressure ratings gives reliable positive isolation and moderate
flow control capability over a wide range of applications throughout the industry.
The metal seated valve is well established in petrochemical and oil industries being
lightweight, fire safe and suitable for actuation.
Butterfly valves offer a number of advantages when used for the proper
application. They may be used in a wide variety of chemical services, they are
available with small dimensions allowing for use in areas where space is limited,
and they allow a high coefficient of flow
CHECK VALVES
A study on the inventory management with special reference to MICON ENGINEERS (HUBLI) PVT LTD
A check valve is a mechanical device, a valve, that normally allows a fluid to flow
through it in only one direction. Check valves are two-port valves, meaning they
have two openings in the body, one for fluid to enter and the other for fluid to
leave. There are various types of check valves used in a wide variety of
applications. Although they are available in a wide range of sizes and costs, many
check valves are very small, simple, and / or cheap. Check valves work
automatically and most are not controlled by a person or any external control;
accordingly, most do not have any valve handle or stem. The bodies (external
shells) of most check valves are made of metal
DIAPHRAGM VALVES
Diaphragm Valves are mainly used in water treatment plants, fertilizer &
petrochemicals industries, chemical industries, refineries, thermal power stations,
and other process industries. Equally suited to on and off, or flow control
applications, a diaphragm valve will handle positive pressures or high vacuum.
Due to the wide range of material options it will handle almost all applications
within its temperature and pressure ranges (175°C max. and 16 bar max.) and as
such is used in almost every industry on both corrosive and abrasive applications.
All working parts are isolated from the line media which enhances its reliability.
Maintenance is a simple task with the body remaining in the pipe, the valve thus
being field serviceable. It has linear flow characteristics which makes it well suited
to throttling or modulating duties. On/off and control automation is possible with
the use of modern compact actuators and accessories
GATE VALVES
A study on the inventory management with special reference to MICON ENGINEERS (HUBLI) PVT LTD
This is the most common and traditional type of valve. The valves are large to
accommodate the yoke and stem mechanism, but fully open the full bore design
provides an uninterrupted flow path. Generally either used fully open or closed, for
on/off isolation, and not used for modulating flow control duties. Variants include
Solid and Flexible Wedge Gates, Double Disc Gates, Through Conduit Valves,
Parallel Slide Valves and Knife Gate Valves.
GLOBE VALVES
Globe valves are designed for flow control or on/off isolation of fluids. They are
manufactured in straight patterns, angle patterns, oblique patterns and needle
designs with a large variety of internal seat construction variants to handle High
Pressure flow control duties. A wide choice of metal body options and trims means
Globe valves are widely used throughout industry.

INTRODUCTION TO THE INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
Inventories mean the stock of the product and the components of the product,
i.e. raw material and semi product.
In other words, inventory is the composed of assets that will be sold in the
future in the normal course of business operations
Raw materials:
Stainless steel
Casting
Seats bars
Fasteners
Chemicals
MEANING OF INVENTORY:
The term inventory includes raw materials, finished packaging, spares and
other stocked in order to meet an unexpected demand or distribution in the
future.
Inventory includes the following categories of items:
Production inventories
In process inventories
MRO (maintenance, repair and operating) inventories.
Finished goods inventories.
These inventories are stocked by the company for the purpose
smooth production and customer satisfaction.
A study on the inventory management with special reference to MICON ENGINEERS (HUBLI) PVT LTD
Inventories constitute the most significant part of current assets of a large
majority of companies. The large size of inventories maintained by firm are
considerable amount of funds is required to commit to them. It is therefore,
absolutely imperative to manage inventories efficiently and effectively in
order to avoid unnecessary investment. It is possible for a company to reduce
its levels of inventories to considerable degree without any address effect on
production and sales by using simple inventories planning and control
technique. The reduction in excessive inventories carries a favorable impact
on companies’ profitability.
NATURE OF INVENTORIES:
Material purchased pending usage is inventory. What is the company
purchased for manufacture of product is inventory?
Inventory is stock of the product a company is manufacturing for sale and
components that make up the product.
The various forms in which inventories exist in a manufacturing
company, they are as follows:
The manufacturing companies hold inventories in the form of raw material,
work in process and finished goods. There are at least three motives for
holding inventories.
1. To facilitate smooth production and sales operation(transaction
motive)
2. To guard against the risk of unpredictable changes in usage rate
and delivery time(precautionary motive)
A study on the inventory management with special reference to MICON ENGINEERS (HUBLI) PVT LTD
3. To take advantageous of price fluctuations (speculative motive).
Inventories represent investment of a firm’s fund. The objective
of the inventory management should be the maximization of the
value of the firm.
The firm should therefore consider
1. Costs
2. Return
3. Risk factors
Two types of costs are involved in the maintenance:
1. Ordering costs: requisition, placing of order, transportation,
receving, inspecting and storing clerical and staff services.
Ordering costs are fixed per order. Therefore, they decline as the
order size increases.
2. Carrying costs: warehousing, handling, clerical and staff
services, insurance and taxes. Carrying costs vary with inventory
holding. As order size increases, average inventory holding
increases and therefore, the carrying costs increases.
The firm should minimize the total cost (ordering plus carrying).
The economic order quantity (EOQ) of inventory will occur at
point where the total cost is minimum.
A study on the inventory management with special reference to MICON ENGINEERS (HUBLI) PVT LTD
The following formula can be used to determine EOQ:
EOQ=Q*
Where A is the annual requirement,
O is the per order cost, and
C is the per unit carrying cost
When should the firm place an order to replenish inventory? The inventory
level at which the firm places order to replenish inventory is called the reorder
point. It depends on
a) The lead time
b) The usage rate
Under perfect certainity about the usage rate, and instantaneous delivery (i.e.
zero lead time), the reorder point will be equal to: lead time x usage rate.
In practice, there is uncertainty about the lead time and usage rate. Under
perfect certainty about the usage rate. Therefore, firms maintain safety stock
which serves as a buffer to meet contingencies. In that case, the reorder point
will be equal to lead time * usage rate + safety stock. The firm should
strike a trade-off between the marginal rate of return and marginal cost of
funds to determine the level of safety stock.
A firm, which carries a number of items in inventory which differ in value,
can follow a selective control system. A selective control system, such as the
A-B-C analysis, classifies inventories in three categories according to the
A study on the inventory management with special reference to MICON ENGINEERS (HUBLI) PVT LTD
value of the items. B-category consists of high value items and C-category
consist of lowest value items. More categories of inventories can also create
tight control may be applied for high-value items and relatively loose control
for low-value items.
The following are the advantages of available from the efficient inventory
management;
Reduction in investment in inventories.
Proper and efficient use of raw materials.
Ensuring continuous production and maximum sales.
Maintaining sufficient stock of finished goods for smooth and timely supply of goods to customers and maintain their patronage.
Minimizing inventory costs.
Efficient and optimum use of physical as well as financial resources, safety stock.

Benefits of inventory management and control:
Proper management and control of inventories will result in the following benefits to an organization.
Inventory control ensures an adequate supply of materials and stores, minimizes stock outs and shortages and avoids costly interruptions in operations.
It keeps down investment in inventories, inventory carrying costs and obsolescence losses to the minimum.
It facilitates purchasing economies through the measurement of requirements on the basis of recorded experience.
It eliminates duplication in ordering or in replenishing stocks by centralizing the source from which purchase requisitions emanate.
Its permits better utilization of available stocks by facilitating inter-department transfers within a company.
It facilitates cost accounting activities by providing a means for allocating material cost to products, departments or other operating accounts.
Perpetual inventory values provide a consistent and reliable basis for preparing financial statements.

Inventory Management is consisting of 2 hands. The first hand as shown in
the diagram is that Physical Inventory Management, Second one is Financial
Inventory Management.
The reason behind of dividing these views is: to gather the information very
easily and for easy to understanding of each view thoroughly. Let us see the
Meanings of each view one by one.
Physical Inventory Management
Meaning: “Keeping of goods is also a type of management. Whenever
requirements comes from the production department, providing of those
required materials in a proper manner & providing those at the specified
period, is the main motto of Physical Inventory Management.”

Inventory, as a current asset, differs from the other current assets because
only financial managers are not involved. Rather, all the functional areas,
finance, Marketing, Product & Purchasing are involved.
The job of the financial manager is to reconcile the conflicting viewpoints
of the various functional areas regarding the appropriate inventory levels in
order to fulfill the overall objective of maximizing of owner’s wealth.
Two-Bin System:
Under this system, the inventory items are grouped into two categories. In
one group or bin, sufficient quantity is kept to meet the current requirements
over a designated period of item. In another group or bin, a safety stock is
maintained to meet the requirements of inventory at times when the stock in
the first bin is exhausted and re-ordering occurs.
An effective inventory management should:
Ensure a continuous supply of raw materials to facilitate uninterrupted
production.
Maintain sufficient finished goods inventory for smooth sales operation
and efficient customer services.
