Un-lock the Working capital thru Effective Inventory Control

by H K Varma

Over the years Materials function has evolved from Gate keeper role to partnerships and JVs for a lasting buyer-supplier relationship and ultimately converting ‘Materials function’ in to a profit center thereby expanding the bottom line with shortest throughput times.

Working capital management is crucial to the growth of a Material executive who has to walk a tight rope between working capital constraints and un-interrupted flow of material to ensure no production hold-ups.

Over the years the role of a Materials executive has evolved from buying to material/supplier management to working capital controller as it is he (she) who controls almost 65% of the company’s working capital.
