This project report is about the inventory management of biscuit manufacturing company, making four different types of biscuit. Management of inventory categories into two sections first is production and second is distribution of biscuit. 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. A business 's inventory represents an investment that is tied up until the item is sold. Mismanaged inventories lead to major financial problems for a business. Production of biscuits is divided in four steps in a manufacturing …show more content…
It is a step of creating output or good which is valuable for individuals. Production department is responsible for fulfilling the customer’s requirement with the high quality, right quantity and given time. To achieve this target first we have to select standardized quality of material for our four different type of products like shape, color, appearance, presentation and most importantly taste. Taste creates the appropriate dimensions which will rely on the customer’s wishes or what a customer wants. We have to used most experienced, trained and qualified chefs, labors and working staff so that we could achieve our target of making biscuits timely, and reasonable price and we can cover our cost of production and could earn some …show more content…

1.3 Hypothesis
A proposition made as a basis for reasoning, without any assumption of its truth.
But the nature of this study is descriptive so we could not assume any hypothesis.

2.1 Production Planning
Production planning is the planning of production and manufacturing processes in a company. It utilizes the resource allocation of activities of employees, materials and production capacity, in order to serve different customers, to reduce cost and time. This goal is achieved by using different types of machineries regarding the type of product. The main product in biscuit is dough which is used in our all types of biscuits. We are making four different types of biscuits, coconut, zera, peanut and chocolate, we add these ingredients separately after in dough before baking in mixture. We divide mixture in four parts to make four different flavors. These biscuit are made by elastic dough which contain large amount of flour (for biscuits the ideal flour is low content protein flour), large amount of sugar and fat, butter, oil, eggs, baking powder and other additional ingredients for the taste and long life of product. The shape and sizes which attracts the customers, is make certain by the softness of the
However, A1 is currently under pressure to increase its operating revenue by 10% in 2003. Therefore, a loss in operating revenue for their steak sauce will be harmful to their new profit goal when factoring in the loss from A1’s marinate line. In order for their marinate line to continue their steak sauce must yield a profit of $62 million in operating profits, offsetting the $7 million in losses. The potential loss of 5% in market dollars will lead to an overall loss of about $7.6 million for the steak sauce line. Due to these factors, A1 should definitely take any potential losses to their steak sauce line from the new entry of Lawry’s
Thus, they are in a position to cover any debt obligations that may come up quickly. Their inventory turnover has been relatively steady over the five years of data. In year 7 their inventory turnover reached 3.2 which means inventory is moving through to customers at an increased rate over the year which correlates with their increased sales. This statement is supported by the fact that the days inventory held for stoves has dropped over the past five years from 146 days in year 3 to 114 days in year 7. These reductions have allowed for the reduction of their days in accounts payable from 51 all the way down to 11.
Like REI, Cabela’s manages both consumer direct shipments and store replenishments in the same distribution centers. Cabela’s has three distribution centers as well as two returns processing centers. Each distribution and returns centers being 1 million square feet, can process an excess of 800,000 store, consumer and individual orders. Cabela’s only houses 30% of inventory in its distribution centers and the remaining 70% are stocked at its stores (Supply Chain Digest Home, 2008).
This chain of profit very beneficial to farms because overall they spend much less money and have more money to spend elsewhere. There 's

Operations management needs to be effective by making sure that customers’ needs are being met. The production process is the act of combining various immaterial inputs in order to create a good or service which has value and contributes to the utility of consumers. Dymocks The Company will support the sole trader in negotiating great terms with major suppliers in order to achieve the best benefits and discounts. Once an order has been put in with suppliers, the order will then be processed and the goods will be created.
The three descriptive research methods that I will discuss are Naturalistic Observation, Survey, and Case Study. Naturalistic Observation is a research method in which people or animals are observed in their natural habitat without any controls or variables. This type of research method may be conducted if you want to see how people truly act without being watched. For example, this research method may be used to determine who are healthier shoppers, men or women? The researcher would go to a food store and take count throughout the day of how many men and women he finds in the fruit and vegetable isles, and how many he find in the snack isles.
Introduction Psychological research and its findings have profound impact on people, relationships, and institutions in our society (Willig, 2013). However, as any other study, psychological researchers are faced with enormous limitations including inappropriate designs or methodologies due inadequacy of professionals (Wang, et al., 2015), geographical differences that impacts on generalizations (Smith, 2015), and time pressure that negatively affects the quality of a research (Punch, et al., 2014). Language barrier and lack of literature or poorly done review are other factors that affect psychological research (Willig, 2013). Limitations Limited number of professionals in the psychological research is one of the key limitations to this field of study. Psychological research depends on observations, experimentation, and evidence, hence the need for critical methodological designs (Shipman, 2014).
Another external risk is a lost of a supply chain which is result in late or missed deliveries of inventory. A manufacturer of a product may discontinue making a popular item or cease business operations all together. Target can monitor external market conditions of its manufacturers however they cannot control their cash flows or business operations. Target should analyze and identify the potential consequences to potential risk situations (Popescu, Gherghinescu, & Ionete,

Capacity planning This is the process of knowing the production capacity an organization needs to meet the changing demands for the products. It helps to determine the quantity of the product needed by a firm to meet the demands of its customers. The capacity planning elements for Walmart are; facility, product and service, and human resource.
They are all part of the second step in scientific method, designing and executing an experiment. Hypotheses come from theories. Theories are broader than hypotheses and may suggest many different hypotheses. The operational definition defines the variables in a hypothesis. 3.

• In China, government regulation and policies regarding food products are very strict due to various food safety scandals in recent years. All biscuit manufacturers have to reach the state standard requirements for quality, packaging etc. (IBISWorld, 2010). In order to meet the tightened regulatory requirements on food quality and environment protection, this would require huge investment in stringent quality and hygiene control measures for new entrants (Euromonitor, 2014). • Existing competitors that have achieved economies of scale in production has an advantage over new entrants in terms of the burdening of overall expenditures
