CHAPTER ONE

BACKGROUND OF THE DANGOTE FLOUR MILLS PLC.

Dangote flour mills plc recommenced operation in 1999, as a division of Dangote industries Limited [DIL]. One of Nigeria’s largest and fastest growing conglomerates. Following the strategic division of DIL to  unbundle its various operations. Dangote flour mills was incorporated in 2006, the restructuring was completed in January, 2006 when the federal High Court sanctioned a scheme of arrangement where in all the assets, liabilities and undertaking of the erstwhile flour division of DIL was transformed to Dangote flour mills.

From the initial installed capacity of 500MT per day at its Apapa mills, Dangote flour has expanded rapidly by opening in quick succession three other flour mills in Kano [2007]. Calabar [2001] and Ilorin [2005]. Each of the mills started with an installed capacity of 500MT per day but all of them have subsequently expanded resulting in a total installed capacity of 500MT per day distributed as follows:.

Apapa- 1,000 MT per day

Kano- 500 per day

Calabar- 1,500 per day

Ilorin- 1,000 MT per day

These expansions were in response to a national demand for flour and flour based products in addition to the company drive for increased market share.

CHAPTER ONE

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

1.0   BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

          It is observe that place it one of the marketing activities include channel of distribution transaction were housing, STORAGE, INVENTORY handling etc. when product have been produced, marketers have to create to place utility.

          It does not matter how good products are the movements it cannot get to the customer at the right place, the objectives of marketing are defeated.

          Distribution channel involves inter – related activities that enhances the movement of goods and service from the producer and to the point of consumption through organization that performs different types of marketing activities. It is critically essential that marketer understand channel of distribution facilities that will enables to distribution facilities that will enable them to research their target market effectively.

          Distribution channel concept is essentially the development and operation of efficient flow system for product it relates to other activities of the firm to the extent that it is difficult to isolate them exception in conceptual terms.

          Beside its interaction with promotion and other marketing functions, the distribution management concept also interact with production, this makes distribution a key to success market that is distribution is central to the success or failure of company’s efforts.

1.1   STATEMENT OF THE RESEARCH PROBLEM

          The aim of producer, is to produce goods and service to wards consumers wants and satisfaction, and one of the means to let consumers get satisfied is to enable consumer get the goods at the rights place. This can only be possible through channels of distribution which are often linked to pipe inked to pipe line through which a product flows on its way toe the consumer. It is therefore, become interactive that markets understand channel or distribution and that they are able to distribute facilities that will enables them to reach their market target effectively. The route taken by goods and services include the manufacture intermediacies and the ultimate consumers. Intermediaries in the channel process include wholesaler, retailer and various kinds of agent such brokers.

The channel distribution is an organization dispute its important have been observed to create the problem of high price of goods and service which in turn usually bring about low sale of companies product, reduction in consumers satisfaction etc. it is as a result of this problems that the research is under taken to ensure its minimization and maximize consumers satisfaction. As a result of the above problem mentioned, the choice of channel of distribution to be used should be headed with care, infant the following factor company objective market consideration product characteristics, middlemen characteristics consumer and characteristics environment characteristic are fundamental toward choosing distribution channels and firms must take cognizance of them.

Therefore, channel of distribution should be heated as total system of action. Producer and middlemen should understand that each of them is one component of total systematic organization that is designed to maximize market effectiveness in selling the company product and meeting customers satisfaction.

CHAPTER ONE

BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

INTRODUCTION

          It has been established that a large percentage of the expenditure of the manufacturing industries is made up of purchase of materials, spare part and component up to fifty percent of company’s budgets.

          The magnitude of the expenditure emphasis the importance of performing the store function in the meet effective manner possible.

          Further more, since materials components and spare constitute life wire of any big or small organization left and in operating store once they are buying quantities of materials that cannot be used immediately must buy raw material according to it production schedules and keep them in the store pending the time that these materials are to be use or needed.

          Moreso, its production cannot sell at the product-produced, it store them pending the two effectives demand is made.

          The important point is that not all the raw materials and components bought are used instantly but rather some are kept temporary. Also the outputs are store unit that are need by the final consumers. Also the role of store in manufacturing industries is well emphasized that due to the importance of store department in an organization both private and public sector need a well defined store functions for an effective storage of materials spare and component  at a minimum economical level.

          The store function has the responsibility for the receipt custody and distribution of stocks and for the determination of appropriate quantities and qualities of material to be held since order that operational needs, may be in an economic possible therefore, store management can become an important tools for the achievement of organization objectives.

          This project has been design to cover store and its relationship with other department in manufacturing company with reference, Nigeria bottling company Ilorin , Kwara state.

          Any organization whatever, either manufacturing of serving, its bound to have a store department in one way or the other for keeping of materials used within the organization. There is no industrial unit or public undertaking of substantial size that can efficiently and effectively managed without a store unit, as set in any organization is to assist in production of good and services.

          As it is well known the primary objective of a store is to provide the services cannot be accurately provided if the store unit does not work in collection with the other department within the organizational. The failure of the store department in performing it outstanding function within the organization structure could lead to a friction or less of efficiency among other department.

  1. STATEMENT OF GENERAL PROBLEM

When carrying the store function in manufacturing industries there are some inevitable problems that do arises during the course of the study, the researcher has observed that large quality of materials input and maintenance repair operating (MRO) are store, since active measure are not taken control varieties. This ineffective and inefficient method of controlling stock is faced by the company under study of it’s method purchasing which can cause over-stocking and under stocking.

The problem of over stocking is a stock whereby there are more materials component spare part in the store than expected or needed for operating during certain period of time. Under stocking on other hand is another problem whereby is carrying less quantity of material required by the user department of an organization.

The store taking is another problem become of the varieties and volume of item held, it difficult for regular stocking and this regularity in store taking can cause problems such as obsolesce and redundancy in the store department.

  1. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

The project work carried out on the role of store department and its relationship with other department in a manufacturing company will be of special benefit to store official or personal and purchasing officer who wishes to know how important the role of store department in  a manufacturing organization.

This research work is expose or broaden his knowledge about the subject matter and it has a great significant to the point in time when there is needed to know more about the role of store in a manufacturing company.

This purpose of this research work in partial fulfillment to the requirement of the award of national diploma in purchasing and supply of the institute of financial and management studies (IFMS) Kwara state polytechnic Ilorin.

THE IMPORTANCE OF ACCURATE STOCK CONTROL IN AN ORGANIZATION A CASE STUDY OF NIGERIA STOCK EXCHANGE

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

The importance of accurate stock control in an Organization cannot be over emphasized no matter how diligent the job of control (computerized or manual). Some discrepancies are bound to occur. The system is operated by people, and people sometimes make mistakes.

Every inventory item should be physically counted and checked against its balance at least once a year. This verification of the quality balance is subsequently adjusted to match the actual count, for this reason, most companies created on inventory short hand over account to cater for such discrepancies, this account is eventually close into the manufacturing overhead account. The researchers will also highlight some of the ways of conducting the stock control in one of this ways of conducting the stock control exercise.

The physical inventory can be conducted in one of these ways:

  1. Fixed annual inventory: many companies take physical inventory every year at the close of the financial period.
  2. Continuous Inventory: at the beginning of each year, some firms divide the inventory period into fifty two equal groups to be physically counted without interrupting the production operation or up setting store room activities.
  3. Low point Inventory: some companies take physical inventory regulatory. i.e. whenever the stock level of an item reaches lowest point.

All these three methods are widely used in the selection of the most appropriate that one depends largely upon conditions in each individual business. The fixed annual inventory can be troublesome because it is a major task which must be accomplished in a short period of time. However, it is ideal seasonal business or business that completely closes down for an annual rotation.

The continuous inventory approaches possess two major advantages. It can be planned and worked into scheduled activities without a shut down. It can be conducted in an orderly manner, this approach also facilitate efficient utilization of store personnel. The low point approach minimizes the required inventory work because of the small quantities of materials involved allied product which meet the changing need of it’s customers through the employment of highly trained personnel’s and the utilization of up to date technology while ensuring optimum returns to its shareholders.

A five man board of director whose wealth of experience and expertise span various factors of the Nigeria economy shapes of the policy frame work of the company. Lubcon is endowed with highly talented and technically proficient personnel’s who have in the best tradition equipped and exposed to the demands of both local and global lubricant market. This was achieving through the company human resources policy and programmes.

1.1     STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

The problem facing the stock control is as follows:

  1. Poor layout: The layout without the store area, create difficulties in location and identification of materials in the store.
  2. The attitudes of the checkers are not reporting to appropriate quarters in case of any fraudulent act discovered that affects the stock control exercise.
  3. Records: there are no proper recording issues and balances.
  4. Accountability: there is no proper report on the receiving and issuing of stock as well as proper documentation on movement of stock within Organization, thus, proper account for stock cannot be maintained.

1.2     OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

The following are the objectives for carrying out this work:

  1. To find out companies (using Lubcon Oil) can control the level of the stock, preservation materials handling and the other stock operations.
  2. To find out how the function of the store related to the other departments of the company (Lubcon Oil).
  3. To find out how the nature and various types of materials handling equipment employed by store and relative effect on work efficiency.

1.3     SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

The primary significance of this research work is to fulfill one of the Obligations which serve as one of the pre-requisites for the partial fulfillment of the Award of National Diploma in all Business Administration awarded by the Purchasing and Supply Department, Kwara State Polytechnic, Institute of Finance and Management studies (IFMS), Kwara State Polytechnic, Ilorin.

CHAPTER ONE

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Purchasing as a subject and as a business function has really come along way. In the past when material, component part energy etc were abundant and available at ridiculously low price, purchasing was not given proper chance to operate that is why procurement was looked upon as having unimportant function.

However now that material is in short supply there is generally on existence of what is called galloping inflation.

These result to high price of material or unfriendly supply market. It will be very unreasonable for any business firms and indeed government to ignore purchasing function.

With these reason purchasing tends to play an important role in any business organization whether profit or non profit oriented. In a nutshell, the project is about the need for a company to involve international procurement.

To a layman purchasing means the process of buying raw material, component part and service. But in a broader sense procurement can be defined as the purchasing of the high quality of goods at the right price from the right sources and delivered in good condition to the right location and when required.

Procurement these days for organization especially profit oriented company has become very difficult because of the international operation involved. The company has to buy international to make its product. This nowadays firms in African countries or content can now produce their material requirement and service from few distance sources in American continent.

The researcher case study of Global Soap and Detergent Limited Ilorin will at the long run benefit in the are of appraisal made by the researchers on how foreign buying activities are accomplished. At the end of the research work, recommendation to solve the problem can be employed by the company to improve its purchasing performance especially in the area of international buying.

To the reader, especially non professional colleagues knowledge concerning foreign purchasing would be gained and various reason for foreign buying would also be gain.

To the professional colleagues, how international buying is practically carried out in a company would be learnt in addition to the theoretical knowledge gained in the classroom.

Finally, the society as a whole has its share or benefit to be achieved from the project.

1.1    OBJECTIVE OF STUDY

The research work is of importance to the researcher because if forms part of the requirement for the award of Higher

National Diploma in Purchasing and Supply in the Department of Purchasing and Supply Institute of Finance and Management Studies Kwara Poly.

The research study will attempt to inform the organization under the study on the roles and immense contribution of international buying.

However, at the end of the research work, it would help to convince the management of Global Soap and Detergent Limited llorin, that Purchasing contribution is essential the overall corporate the organization lack of this may cause total collapse of the company corporate plan.

1.2    STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

The research study deal with international procurement and its justification in a company. An international buying involves more complex procedure relating to local buying. There is tendency for some problem to arise during the practice. Among some problem encounter by the company are how to locate foreign supplier, how to get traveling document, licensed, importation duties. More so, fluctuation in exchange rates, instability in rate of exchange is one of the problems frustrating the industry in which the cost important becomes higher.

Lastly, the distance between one nation and another may so great that it makes the cost of transportation high.

1.3    SCOPE AND LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

This research works will cover buying for organization. Thus its scope will be based only on international buying aspect.

Also, the study will be restricted to the chosen company Global Soap and Detergent Ilorin by analyzing the various procedures involved in international procurement. The study will start right from origin of needs and ends with clearing of the goods at what or port of entry.

They researcher faced some problems in the course of carrying out the research work, which range from financial problem and time factors. The researcher was also denied some accessibility to copies of various document use in the organization when sourcing abroad for security purpose. Also the attitudes of the respondent create much problem. Most of them schedule a time in which they will never be around whenever you are there.

Lastly, the organization lack purchasing library in which secondary data can be yet for the researcher.

  • Theoretical Scope: this refers to the area to be covered during the period of research work. The area to be discussed shall be limited to purchasing and supply.
  • Geographical Scope: The researcher shall offer useful suggestions where necessary so that the organization could be able to advice much for progress and make valuable contribution to see the economic depression of this great nation.
  • Industrial Scope: The researcher will focus more attention on the purchasing department with particular reference of Global Soap and Detergent Industry as regard their activities.
  • Time Scope: This is where the researcher would use his time to spend for collecting data from the organization in order to get facts from them.

CHAPTER ONE

1.0   INTRODUCTION

Most organizations whether in manufacturing service or extractive field of operating make use of materials handling equipments in their daily operations.

Handling of materials, which is the main activity in store house and stockyards are costly operations and therefore, the methods and equipments employed in handling should be efficient

As in many other aspects of store function, the approaches depend on the nature of the business, the kind of stock carried and the size of the accommodation.

In a large stores house responsible for a wide range of a goods with weekly output measured in hundred of tons it will b e necessary to provide some manual handling equipment and mechanical handling for moving the heavy materials. In this case, it’s not unusual to find overhead cranes, fork lift trucks and conveyor all in operations. With mobile and crane and dumpers in the stockyards.

The impacts of materials handling equipments on the store function of an organization cannot be over emphasize for effective service, organization should be able to transport materials, equipments, spares from one point to another as effectively as possible.

As a result material handling equipments, only few workers are needed for its operation and this tends to save the company huge amount of money, time and reduction in work of the labour. The position of materials handling remains a subject of concern to most business organization.

It’s on this vital issue that research work will focus by examining the role o purchasing and store departments. In regard to material handling operation manufacturing organization. Although, these functions spend a significant Portion of organization income.

1.1   HISTORICAL BACKGROUND DOYIN INVESTMENT COMPANY

Doyin investment Nigeria Limited was sited along Asa Dam Road Kwara State. The company specialized in product of Flash. Hi-Cleans, Vogues, Dento Clean and Wash rite.

The company was incorporated in October 1984 by the Federal Government of Nigeria under the Commerce and Industry Act 1985 all the installation started immediately.

The Head Office is at Lagos State. Doyin is from Kwara State. He decided to site the industries in the state capital for the purpose of reducing the problem of unemployment within and outside the state.

The materials used in production are imported materials but now some materials are being produced locally. Some of the materials were specially made for Doyin investment Nigeria Limited from oversea e.g. Blank Corp. Sodium Syndicate etc.

The organizational chart showing department and staff position. The General Manager is the Head of the industry.

The sole responsibilities of the whole operations rest on him. He is the only person that gives order on any important issues. When there is a need to Purchase capital equipment or purchase large quality of raw materials involving millions naira.

After the General Manager are the Technical Manager, Production Manager and Quality Control Manager.

The technical manager wherever there is any needs to purchase costly equipment. The Product Manager has under him the raw materials store, central stores and warehouses where they keeps the finished products.

The raw materials that always kept in the store for production include:

  1. Flash Cartons for packing the detergent.
  2. Inner case in which the soap and the detergent itself are being packed.
  3. Polly products (Wash Right Bags) are used to pack the detergent that was no in cartons. It is weighted in kilograms (500kg).
  4. The components at the raw materials store:
  5. STPP (Sodio Tripolifapato)
  6. Sodium Syndicate
  7. Glue
  8. Blank Corp
  9. Blue Due
  10. perfume
  11. Caustic Soda
  12. Sulphuric Acid.

All the raw materials are kept for production process in the raw materials store until they come to request for them from the production shop floor. The STPP (Sodium Triphotasopato) is in separate tank with the provision of taps so that as they are being dissolved by water, some are passes to the next machine where the operation starts.

The sodium syndicate is used to neutralize the acid of the detergent during the production. Glue, Blank Corp and Caustic Soda are also parts of the raw materials used for production for the detergent and during this period it is in white colour. The blue due will be supplied so that it will change the white colour to blue colour, It depends on the colour of the detergent they want to produce, perfume is then supplied at the final stage, so that the detergent will give passive smell, this will normally be on the cloth. The quality control manager in collaboration with design and engineering department work on how much chemical should be used, the design packing and packages, what types of colour will attract the customer, the dimension for the cartons hardness so it does not just get spoiled anyhow. The amount of raw materials to be used in forecast by the quality control department. At it’s always happening in cost -organization the store department will supply all document connected with the purchase of raw material arid stationeries to the account department so that tie necessary funds is given to them to buy from outside organization. The entire document are not given to the account department only to issue money for purchasing the materials alone, but the account department use it for the organization annual budget.

THE IMPACT OF COMMUNICATION IN ACHIEVING ORGANIZATION’S OBJECTIVES (A CASE STUDY OF KWARA STATE POLYTECHNIC, ILORIN)

ABSTRACT

It is the contention of this researcher that in an organisation, communication describes the process by which managers establish a degree of “commonness” with their employees and with their external public. To that extent, communication is the vehicle by which information and human attitudes are exchanged with others. Simply put, communication is the “glue” that holds business together, for without some form of communication, the managerial functions of planning, organizing, leading and controlling could not be performed. As organisation grow larger and the world “grows smaller”, an increasing interdependence is created among people and within organisation, which multiplies the need for effective communication. This project discusses the importance of communication in enhancing the goals of a business enterprise by defining the concept of communication from the perspective of the human relations school; it also dwells on the influence of electronic communication in the face of globalization, competition and cooperation. It envisions what need to be done by organisation by making appropriate recommendations generated through the findings of the study.

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

All of us have been communicating with others since our infancy, the process of transmitting information from an individual or group to another is a very complex process with many sources of potential error, Communication has always been and is still an important aspect of daily living especially so in a commercial organisation which is geared towards optimal profit maximization.

Many people practice the art of communication, the government of a nation to its populace, the teacher to his students, mother to daughter or son, superior to subordinate, manager to supervisor, husband to wife, buyer to seller et cetera.

People who work in an organisation typically spend over 75% of their time in interpersonal situation, thus, it is no surprise to find out that the root of a large number of organizational problems is poor communication skills. However, not every communication is effective. Effective communication is an essential component of organization’s success whether it is at the inter-personal, inter-group, organizational or external level. Communication is essential to all the operatives of business since it is the variable within the organisation that holds them together. It is like the glue used in binding models. This glue holds the various parts together, without the process of communication, the various parts of an organization would not be bound together and the organisation would neither exist nor survive Thus, communication is the binding element of a business and governmental organisations, in order to be successful and to attain its goals, an organisation need people who can communicate effectively.

Communication takes different forms, it could be oral, written, non-verbal or electronic. Sometimes, in order to pass on messages to others, one has to use language (symbols), gestures, drawings that stand for ideas that are intended to convey. These symbols could be ones that other people organize and accept.

Communication is not just giving of information, it involves the giving of understandable information and receiving understanding the messages involved to the extent that the receiver is able to respond by taking appropriate action and or reaction. Communication is the process by which we share our reality with others. Effective communication makes information flow freely from one person to the other in an organisation. It is a continuous process which applies to all levels of organizational hierarchy.

Communication can be defined as a process of transmitting thought, sharing of and imparting of information, it is the giving of understandable message. It is the transmitting of messages and linking of people, it is the conveying and exchanging of messages, it is the creating and exchanging of messages within a network of interdependent relationship et cetera.

By whatever name one may wish to call communication, one thing is very clear, communication touches on every sphere of human endeavor. It serves as an instrument of social interaction and it helps us to understand ourselves, it is the medium through which relationships are established, extended and maintained. Communication provides the means by which people in business politics and other professions act and interact, share and exchange information and ideas, develop plans, proposals and policies, make decisions and coordinate activities.

CHAPTER ONE

1.0     Introduction

          Store/inventory management is an important function in the management of an organization

          Inventory management is not related to manufacturing concern but it is also important in non-manufacturing organizations.

          This point to the fact that these firms have substantial amount of working capital locked up in inventory. The level of inventory is important to the efficient operation of those firms, investment is important in inventories should be at the optimum level.

          Inventory management is an important aspect to cost reduction schemes. It involves determining the degree of materials required for the best results, planning and designing of materials organization system.

          Thus for the purpose of this research, inventory covers;

  1. Raw materials
  2. Work-in-progress
  3. Finished goods

Inventory usually forms a large population of many firms operations and effective management is therefore required for proper functioning of the normal production, selling operations of the business and for keeping the cost of holding and ordering stock to beeriest minimum

          Excessive inventories vary for a long period are as loss or liquidity. Raw materials are generally difficult to sell as the holding period increases. Therefore exceptional circumstances where it may pay company to hold stock of raw materials. This is possible under the condition of inflation and scarcity.

          Work-in-progress is for more difficult to sell. Similarly, difficulties may be faced when disposes of the finished goods inventories at time, another danger of carrying excess inventory is the physical determination of inventories deterioration occurs with the passage of time this could be due to mishandling and improper storage facilities. These factors are within the management and the necessary investment in inventories are not sufficient to meet the demands of customers regularly, the customers may shift to other competitors this as to loss of market to this common relevant.

A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACT OF STORES IDENTIFICATION AND CODIFICATION PROCEDURE ON EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE STORES OPERATION OF MANUFACTURING COMPANY {A CASE STUDY OF NIGERIAN BOTTLING COMPANY PLC. ILORIN.}

CHAPTER ONE

1.1     INTRODUCTION

          Store is being described as any space reserved and equipped for holding stocks, waiting for dispatch to customers for further processing or for further use. The word store can also be used to means inventory (materials). The responsibility of physical situation and condition of materials and issuing when required has with the store man and his department and storage facilities must be adopted to suit the types of materials handle.

          However, for the store to carry out its operation effectively there must be an effective ways of identifying materials. Codification is an organization ways or method of identifying materials to give room for uniformity in the description of the items concerned. It is important to point out, that the success of any stock control systems depend on an efficient coding of materials, although there are many alternatives methods by which this can be enhance, the following are illustration of the case.

  1. Alphabetic code e.g ABC, DEF etc
  2. Numerical code e.g 0123, 5710
  3. Alphanumerical code e.g A102, B2DF etc
  4. Colour code e.g for iron, red, blue, colour for steel
  5. Memonic code e.g choosing symbols which us of there meanings.

CHAPTER ONE

1.0     INTRODUCTION

          Business all over the world owes success prospects, existence and growths to the effective application of the purchasing concept to their operations. A business usually start with an awareness of what is really needed for manufacturing and finding  out what these needs are whether major or minor, they would them develop the idea of how to get it.

CHAPTER ONE

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Purchasing as a subject and as a business function has really come along way. In the past when material, component part energy etc were abundant and available at ridiculously low price, purchasing was not given proper chance to operate that is why procurement was looked upon as having unimportant function.

However now that material is in short supply there is generally on existence of what is called galloping inflation.

These result to high price of material or unfriendly supply market. It will be very unreasonable for any business firms and indeed government to ignore purchasing function.

With these reason purchasing tends to play an important role in any business organization whether profit or non profit oriented. In a nutshell, the project is about the need for a company to involve international procurement.

To a layman purchasing means the process of buying raw material, component part and service. But in a broader sense procurement can be defined as the purchasing of the high quality of goods at the right price from the right sources and delivered in good condition to the right location and when required.

Procurement these days for organization especially profit oriented company has become very difficult because of the international operation involved. The company has to buy international to make its product. This nowadays firms in African countries or content can now produce their material requirement and service from few distance sources in American continent.
