Chapter-01 Research Methodology

Rational of the study: This report is equipped to make a study on the preparation and presentation of Inventory Management of Beximco Pharmaceuticals Limited as a part of the fulfillment of internship program required for the completion of the BBA program for the Department of Business Administration, Shahjalal University of Science & Technology, Sylhet. The report was prepared under the supervision of Mohammad Mizenur Rahamann, Assistant Professor, Department of Business Administration, Shahjalal University of Science & Technology, Sylhet and Mr. Kamal Uddin Ahmed, Deputy Manager, Accounts and Finance Department of Beximco Pharmaceuticals Ltd. Inventory consists of usable but idle resources. The resources may be of any type-men, materials, machines, etc. For example, if a company purchases a machine or appoints an expert in anticipation of the requirement of their services in future, these resources work as inventory. Generally, inventory of men or machines is not carried and managements hire machines or consult experts whenever required, as an economical alternative. When the resource involved is material or goods, it is referred is the stock or simply as “Inventory”. Inventory is the stock kept for future use to synchronize the inflow and outflow of goods in a transaction. So this report is rationalized for providing some knowledge about analysis and application of inventory system of Beximco Pharmaceuticals Ltd.

Scope of the Study: Inventory Management of Manufacturing public limited company is a broad area. Within the time period of three months allotted for internship, it is virtually impossible to cover all aspects of Inventory Management. So, the scope of my study is limited only to the compliance of those as followed by Beximco Pharmaceutical Ltd. In preparing the report, I review and analyze the information published in the annual report for the year 2002-2007. Any change in Inventory policies in respect of providing information after this period is beyond the scope of my study.

Objective of the study: A broad objective of the report is the comparative analysis of current year and previous year inventory position of Beximco Pharmaceuticals Ltd. The specific objectives those are discussed to help in explaining the broad objective are as follows: · to determine the overall techniques or procedures of Inventory Management System of BPL. · to analyze the inventory management and forecast the policy. · to understand the flow of documents of each inventory in BPL. · to explain develop the system of Inventory Management of BPL.

· to recommend some action plan to increase the efficiency of BPL.

Methodology of the study: This report has been prepared on the basis of experience, which I was gathered during the period of internship. For preparing this report, I have also got information from various employees of Beximco Pharmaceutical Limited (Planning Dept., Sales or Marketing Dept., Accounts Dept., Purchase Dept., etc), annual reports, different books especially BBA, and website of the Beximco Pharmaceutical Limited. The required information for this study collected in various ways. Firstly, the primary information and data’s are collected aso Discussion. o Personal interview. o The observation method. o Literature study and The secondary sources of the information and data’s are collected as o Annual Reports. o Web-sites. o Previous Internship Reports.

Data Processing and Analysis: The both primary and secondary data’s and information’s sources have been processed and analyzed manually and qualitative approach has been used throughout the study. Data has been analyzed by using computer program with the helps of Microsoft Access, Microsoft Word, and Microsoft Excel.

Limitations of the Study: There were some limitations of the study, but among those some major limitations have been mentioned below· The duration that is for internship is not enough to learn about a big organization like Beximco Pharmaceuticals Limited. · For non-availability of secondary data and for time limitation it was not possible to work on the basis of board data. · Due to restriction of time, I could not get detailed information about every Departments of BPL. · In case of preparing Inventory cycle, I faced lots of difficulties to collect the confidential data from BPL. · Lack of confidential information about the organization makes many mistake and targeted aim.

It all began in 1980 when BPL's first product made under license of Bayer AG, Germany rolled out of a small manufacturing plant in Tongi, Dhaka. Products made under license of Upjohn Incorporated, USA followed. After its initial years of struggle it broke ground with the launching of its own products in 1983. The journey continued and barrier after barrier were crossed, challenges were faced and transformed BPL into what it is at present. Today, BPL holds a 10% share in the domestic market after competing with such Multinational Giants as Glaxo, Welcome, Novartis, Hoecsht, Rhone Poulenc Rorer, and Fisons etc. BPL manufactures and markets a high quality and cost-effective range of about 80 formulations covering all major therapeutic groups.

Organizational Structure of BPL: From the very beginning, Beximco Pharma believes in one paradigm- 'a business is judged in the market based on two basic components- its products and people. The company considers the most valuable asset it has, are the people who work for the company for its 'successes' built to last. This people focused culture, indeed, makes Beximco Pharma unique compared to others. So it makes sense for the management of the company to do everything possible to ensure that every member of stuff enjoys the friendly and welcoming atmosphere in the company that encourages the employees to be themselves. Here, the workplace has evolved to be a very close community of co-workers where employees take pride in their job, their team, and their company. They celebrate the successes of their peers and cooperate with others throughout the organization. Here, communication is open and accessible, hiring and rewarding are impartial and decisions are taken together with the employees in a free and fair process. Here, everyone is treated and cared for as an individual with personal life and respected of their professional life by encouraging and supporting professional development. Today, Beximco Pharma is not just a great workplace but is a great way of life. It has made itself a great company to work with where the company and its people 'grow together'

Training & Development: One of the driving forces of Beximco Pharma is its highly skilled human resources. BPL is continuously striving to explore the core competencies of the employees to face the challenges of the competitive environment. Continuous learning had been enforced as a motivation tool to upgrade current level of knowledge and skills of the employees. BPL also ensures an atmosphere that offers a better learning ground for its employees and believes in upgrading its personnel through continuous education program. BPL, extended and enhanced in-house & external training programs are being conducted round the year. During 2003, BPL employees participated in various training programs that include · Company formation, regulatory compliance and company meeting. · Industrial control and macaronis. · Continuous improvement and changing behavior. · 10 Commandments of GMP. · Presentation skills. · General guidelines of SOP. · Sanitation, hygiene and environment control. · Maintenance of equipments, calibration and validation. · Fire prevention and safety. · Industrial automation. · Coating technology. · Technology transfer.

Title of the training: Managerial style. Personal values questionnaire. Learning style inventory. Learning skills profile. Management workshop for women executive. Sales management. Training on GMP, Process validation, SOPs and documentation. Audio visual training on GMP for MDI plant. Total Quality Management (TQM). Integrated material management. Occupational health & safety. Course leader’s courses and etc. Personnel for the training programs.

Research & Development: BPL’s R & D team is committed to the development and introduction of novel drugs and drug delivery systems that make BPL a front-runner in the nation’s pharmaceutical industry. The R & D team comprises of highly qualified and trained technical personnel continuously striving for product

and process

innovation and up gradation. The sincere and relentless effort of the R & D team has taken the company a step further through introduction of high tech Anti-AIDS and Anti-Cancer products in 2003. A good number of APIs are also in the development pipeline to ensure availability of raw materials in the post-WTO era. With its continuous investment in R & D and cutting-edge technology, BPL is moving forward to meet tomorrow’s healthcare needs.

Fine Chemicals: BPL’s pioneering move to diversify business into manufacture of Active Pharmaceuticals Ingredients (APIs) in 1990 set a new milestone for the pharmaceutical industry of Bangladesh. Besides exporting to the countries of the Asian market such as Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan etc., BPL’s world class APIs were also exported to countries of European market like Germany. APIs like Celecoxib, Rofecoxib, Ciprofloxacin, Ranitidine, Amlodipine, Fluconazole, Cephalexin, Diclofenac Sodium and Cetirizine, having good sales potentials have enriched our portfolio in the recent years. A number of other high-value high-margin products are in the R & D pipeline. With the mandatory patent protection in developed and developing countries coming into effect after 2005, a capacity build-up in the backward linkage bulk drug manufacturing facility would be an added advantage for BPL in the post WTO era.

Blockbuster Products: Success of a pharmaceutical company depends on how effectively it establishes its brands in the market. The excellent blending of world class manufacturing technology and innovative marketing strategies made BPL successful in achieving brand equity for its products. As a result the number one product by value and the number one product by unit in Bangladesh Pharmaceutical Market and also the highest selling drug in the cardiovascular class belong to BPL. Some products are-

·



Neoceptin R –One of the major revenue earning products BPL is Neoceptin R. It is also the highest selling product by value and is the undisputed leader in Bangladesh Pharmaceutical Market.

·

Napa –Napa is the highest selling product by unit. Napa becomes a household brand in the



mind of physicians as well as consumers of Bangladesh.

·

Amdocal –Amdocal is one of the most prestigious and revenue earning products of



BPL. It is the highest selling product in the cardiovascular market.

Quality: Quality is their relentless passion, ingrained in their values and in all what they do. Beximco Pharma is committed to cater to the growing health care needs of the nation. This commitment demands enormous social responsibility of ensuring quality medicines of the highest purity, proper stability, excellent safety and superb efficacy. At every stage of production, stringent control mechanism involving raw material testing, inprocess quality control, packaging, labeling, finished product testing as well as stability monitoring and documentation is maintained. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) developed according to the cGMP guidelines of WHO are being strictly followed in every step to ensure full compliance. BPL QC lab is equipped with the most modern and sophisticated equipment like Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectrophotometer, High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Gas Chromatography (GC), Infrared (IR) Spectrophotometer, Ultraviolet (UV) Spectrophotometer, Homogenizer, In-vitro Bioavailabilty Tester, Lung Simulator, Disintegrator, Dissolution Tester, & many other computer-aided quality control instruments. Thus BPL succeeded in gaining trust and confidence of the doctors and patients all over the country.

Technology: Technology carries the promise of tomorrow. The benefits of technology belong to all of us -benefits that create new opportunities and open doors to a better life. For example, the new inhaler plant of BPL has been designed in a way to ensure highest-possible quality at every stage of manufacturing and quality control. World-class facilities are being employed in each and every step including mixing, filling, testing, labelling, batch printing and other procedures to ensure manufacturing of world class products.

Responsibility & Happiness: Medicine is directly related to human life and therefore, its manufacturers have enormous social responsibility of providing safe and effective medication, demanding uncompromising efforts at all levels of its activities. Beximco Pharmaceuticals Ltd. - the leading health care company in Bangladesh, has been making every effort to ensure the effectiveness and safety of the medicines that it produces. Physicians and patients of the country rely on the efficacy of the medicines of Beximco Pharma at the time of critical needs demonstrating their confidence and trust on BPL products. BPL has a remarkable mission statement, which is being seriously pursued in its thoughts and actions. An increasing amount of contribution is ploughed back into social causes demonstrating BPL’s commitment to the nation. As they continue to grow, it should not only benefit BPL itself, but it should also positively contribute to the nation and society where they live. In BPL, they believe that they manufacture and sell medicines to provide health, happiness and smile back in life of the fellow citizens. They intend to help realize the ultimate aspiration of the nation for a lifetime of good health. Ensuring a healthier tomorrow for the people is their responsibility.

Largest Pharmaceutical Exporter: Beximco Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (BPL) is the largest pharmaceutical exporter of Bangladesh. BPL was the first pharmaceutical company in Bangladesh to receive ‘National Export Trophy (Gold)’ in 1994-1995, which was the very first year for introduction of such award by the Govt. of Bangladesh. Beximco Pharma has also been awarded ‘National Export Trophy (Gold)’ recently for two consecutive years 1998-1999 and 1999-2000. It is the only company to be the record 3 times winner of such award for its outstanding export performance. It is worth mentioning that this award is the highest national recognition for excellence in export. Beximco had always been highly proactive in exporting pharmaceuticals from Bangladesh and was the pioneer in almost all export activities of the country, such as · Pioneer in entering the CIS countries. · First pharmaceutical company of Bangladesh to enter Singapore- one of the most stringent and regulated markets in Asia. · First & only Bangladeshi company to supply pharmaceuticals to Raffles Hospital – one of the most prestigious hospitals of the region. · Only company to supply specialized & high-tech products like Inhalers, Suppositories and Nasal Sprays to overseas markets. · Pioneer in entering African market. As an LDC, Bangladesh has been exempted from pharmaceutical patent protection up to 2016, which has opened the door to ‘Enormous Export Opportunities’ for Bangladesh pharmaceutical sector. They strongly believe, Beximco Pharma with its highly sophisticated machinery & equipment, human resources, process validation, documentation, expertise in international marketing etc. is well poised to take maximum advantage of this export opportunity.



Chapter-03 Background of the study

Inventory Management: An inventory system provides the organizational structure and the operating policies for maintaining and controlling goods to be stocked. The system is responsible for ordering and receipt of goods: timing the order placement and keeping track of what has been ordered, how much, and from whom. Inventory management system has two main concerns. One relates to the level of customer service, and at the right goods, in sufficient quantities, in the right place, and at the right time. The other relates to the cost of ordering and carrying inventories. As a hundred percent export oriented manufacturing company, Beximco pharmaceuticals limited places a great importance in valuation and management of inventories. Inventory is the stock of any item or resource used in an organization. An inventory system is the set of policies and control that monitors levels of inventory and determines what levels should be maintained, when stock should be replenished, and how large orders should be. As such, there is a broad and deep volume of literature in the management of this asset in various situations the interaction of this asset with other asset and similar issue. A complete and comprehensive discussion of the issues in inventory management is beyond the scope of this report. I limit my coverage to only the most basic inventory.

Objective of Inventory Management: The objective of inventory management is to achieve required levels of production while keeping inventory costs within reasonable bounds. The basic objectives are as follows:

Primary Objective: The primary objective of this report is to fulfill the requirement of BBA program. This contains five credit hours for internship and to apply the theoretical knowledge gained from the coursework of the BBA program in a specific field.

Secondary Objective: To understand the flow of documents of each inventory in BPL. To know about the procedures inventory Management System. To analyze the inventory management and forecast the future policy. To maintain the balance between opening and closing stock inventory. To observe the working environment in the corporate sector. To have practical exposure in corporate environment that helps a lot to understand the future courses.

Inventory Management why Important: Like all other assets, inventory represents a costly investment to the firm. In order for this investment to be worthwhile there must be some advantage in making it. Those reasons vary with the type of inventory carried. For purpose of discussion I will use the accountant’s convention of dividing inventory into three types:-

Raw Material Inventory: § Having an available stock of raw materials inventory make production schedule easier. § To keep raw materials inventory is to avoid price changes. § Keep extra raw materials inventory to hedge against supply shortages.

Work-In-Process Inventory: · Keep work-in-process inventory beyond minimum level to Buffer production.

Finished goods Inventory: · Keep finished goods inventory to provide immediate service. · Keep finished goods inventory to Stabilize production.

Purposes of Inventory: The firms keep a supply of inventory for the following reasons are: · To maintain independence of operations. · To meet variation in product demand. · To allow flexibility in production scheduling. · To provide a safeguard for variation in raw material delivery time. · To take advantage of economic purchase-order size.

Key Functions: The key functions of the Beximco Pharmaceuticals Limited or BPL inventory management systems are like· To ensure material is available. · Receipts, custody, and issue of materials. · To recording the record of all stock movements. · Co-ordinate with management, maintenance, production, marketing & finance departments and other departments in the company for meeting their requirements for materials and spares. · Assist in devising management reports.
