M/S Excellent Dashboard Private Limited (EDPL) is situated at Gurgaon near
Delhi. The company supplies dashboard assembly as a 4PL supplier to Maruti
Udyog Limited (MUL) since past 3 Yrs. There are number of components in the
dashboard like speedometer, level gauge, etc. EDPL purchases these individual
components from various suppliers & assembles them at their works for onwards
supply to MUL.
One of the major components namely “starter switch” is always the problem. Since
the EDPL does not observe any systematic inventory control methods in their
purchasing activities. They just order the quantity as & when the demand arises.
As this product is not available off the shelf, many a times delays occur in arranging
for assembled dashboard to MUL. This in turn results in to a financial loss to EDPL
due to penalties imposed by MUL as per the agreement, towards delays in supply of
Dashboard Assembly.
The information gathered from EDPL shows that the annual demand of the item,
starter switch is 5000 nos. The unit Price of the item is Rs 50 each. The inventory
