infrastructure facilities, including production capabilities, research and
development centres.
In India, imported dairy products like butter, cheese, whey, and yogurt are now
subject to taxes, along with processed milk powder. India is engaged in
negotiations over the reduction of import taxes on dairy goods.
Due to this, Most of American dairy products Imports are not allowed into
India. For a total of 2928.79 cores, India exported 108711.27 metric tonnes of
dairy goods in 2021–2022. Milk products are hard to find.
United Arab Emirates, Bhutan, Turkey, Egypt, and Netherlands were among its
top export markets. India's exports of are hampered by high levels of domestic
consumption and uncompetitive worldwide prices.

The dairy sector in Karnataka
Four milk unions were established in Karnataka on June 4th, 1975 in Bangalore,
Mysore, Tumkur, and Hassan. Karnataka Dairy Development Corporation
(KDDC) was renamed as Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF), and the Mysore
Corporative Milk Producers Societies Union Ltd became the "Mysore -
Chamarajanagar District Coop Milk Producers Societies Union Ltd."
On June 1st, 1987, the Mysore milk union acquired the Mysore dairy, which has
an installed capacity of 60 TLPS. It was increased to 100 TLPS. It was further
built up to 100TLPDS and extended to 300TLPDS during Operation Flood. In
April 2015, following 300 TLPDS, The Mysore - Chamarajanagar district milk
union was divided into the Mysore milk union and the Chamarajanagar milk
12
union. The new mega dairy at Alanahally Mysore has an installed capacity of 6
to 8 LLPD.
Background of organization
The first of the dairy cooperatives that make up KMF was founded in Kudige,
Kodagu District, in 1955. KMF was founded in 1974 as the Karnataka Dairy
Development Corporation (KDDC) to execute a dairy development project that
was controlled by the World Bank. KMF became the organization's new name
in 1984. With 1500 members, KMF, 14 milk unions around the state of
Karnataka purchase milk from Primary Dairy Cooperative Societies (DCS) and
distribute it to customers in a variety of urban and rural markets.
Location
The Karnataka government has made action to boost farmers' income levels and
standards of living by getting them involved in dairy development activities.

1.6 COMPETITOR’S INFORMATION
India has a thriving sector for diaries. At initially, the Nandini brand had a
monopoly on the market. Thus, there was no competition. However, loose
milk sales existed before the industry even got off the ground. In my opinion,
Karnataka’s competitor have been expanding for decades.
The major competitors are:
Jersey
Dodla
Arogya
Fresh Milk
Loose vendors
Gomatha
Trimala
Dodla
Plant located at Nellore.
Cheaper raw material are readily available.
Sales in the union purview 18TLPD (30TLPD in the city).
The commission is between 80 and 95 rupees.
Quality impression, lengthy life and thickness.
Flexible distribution allows for merchants or any seller.
Refund will be granted. Payment can be made in cash or by collecting
empty containers on the way back.
Affiliates of the channel are essential to increasing sales.
The package is appealing, with sachets featuring multicoloured pricing.
The general public trusts that milk is suitable for forming curds.
Arogya
Plant located at Bangalore
Sale in union jurisdiction 10tlpd.
MRP rates rs.20per litre.
Commission range from 60paisa per litre.
19
Availability-mostly retail outlets like bakeries, condiments and
departmental stores.
Packing is attractive with multi-colour pricing on sachets.
Concentrating on value added products and not much on milk.
The Indian dairy business is moving quickly and favourably into the new
century. India has emerged as the top milk producer in the world with an
annual milk production of 76 million tonnes after experiencing an exceptional
surge in milk production of more than two and a half times in the two decades
to roughly 58.8 million tonnes in 1992. The fifth-largest industry in the nation
is the food processing sector. With barely 7% growth annually, 85% of the
business in the milk and milk product industry is in the unrecognised sector.
In India right now, the trends are also evolving quickly. It is anticipated that
organised milk processing would significantly rise in industrialised nations. As
a result, there will be more potential for value addition. During the same time
period, the production of dairy products in the nation's food sector climbed by
5-7%. The era of imported milk shortages is now a thing of the past. The
chance to access the market for value-added dairy products including butter,
cheese, lactose, khova, and paneer might be seized by the organised sector.It
goes without saying that the organised dairy industry has done a great job of
transitioning from a dependent on export business to a self-sufficient industry
and starting to export a variety of products. And now it is prepared for a new
wave of growth by starting a large-scale milk production in the organised
sector.

CONCEPTUAL BACKGROUND AND
LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 CONCEPTUAL BACKGROUND
28
firm's liquidity position and indicating the extent to which Working
Capital requirements can be covered by enduring resources. In essence,
it mirrors the financial stability of a company.
5. To maintain the raw material, work in progress, stores and extra things and
completed stock.
Working capital varies from company to company. The factors that determine
the prerequisite for working capital is given below.
29
2. Size of business: For labor-intensive industries, higher working capital is
essential due to the elevated wage expenses. Conversely, capital-
intensive industries necessitate comparatively lower working capital.
3. Volume of sales: The degree of sales and the extent of working capital
revelation a direct correlation. When sales volume rises, there is a
concurrent augmentation in the allocation of working capital.
4. Raw Material Supply Fluctuations: While there is a timely and sufficient
provision of raw materials, spares, and other essential items, a business
can function with a smaller quantum of working capital. On the contrary,
if the supply is sporadic, seasonal, or regulated by government entities,
it necessitates maintaining larger stocks, consequently amplifying the
prerequisite for working capital.
5. Cost or raw materials: A business entity necessitates greater working
capital when the raw material demanded is substantial in quantity and
carries a higher cost.
6. Credit Policy: When suppliers extend longer credit terms for raw
materials, the working capital need diminishes. Conversely, if the
company extends credit to customers while procuring raw materials for
immediate cash, the working capital obligation escalates.
7. Cash Obligations Impact: A higher cash demand to cover payments such
as rent, salaries, etc., corresponds to an elevated working capital
requirement, and conversely.
8. Seasonal Fluctuations: Elevated requirements coincide with busy seasons
and inflation, whereas lower requirements are observed during low-
demand periods.
Within the realm of financing sources, the company has pinpointed distinct
avenues for funding its current assets. These avenues can be broadly categorized
into long-term and short-term sources. Long-term sources encompass options
such as shares, debentures, preference shares, retained earnings, and debt from
financial institutions. On the other hand, short-term sources include short-term
bank advances and commercial papers.
30
Hedging Approach or Matching Approach:
Once the firm adopts a hedging approach to fund its capital, it seeks to align
the anticipated lifespan of assets with the anticipated growth timeline of
funding sources for those assets. This approach focuses on harmonizing the
interval of asset existence with the interval of financial sources' availability
to fund those assets.
Conservative Approach:
When a significant portion of assets is sourced from long-term financing, the
firm is adopting a conservative financial strategy. In this scenario, the firm
relies heavily on long-term funds, reducing risk exposure. It utilizes long-
term sources to fund both permanent current assets and a portion of
temporary current assets during periods when temporary assets are not
necessary. This strategy enhances liquidity by investing excess funds in
merchantable securities.
Aggressive Approach:
In an aggressive financial approach, the firm heavily depends on short-term
capitals to finance its assets. Even a segment of permanent current assets is
funded through short-term sources in this approach, contrary to the matching
approach that mandates permanent current assets to be supported by long-
term funds.
Under its financial strategy, the firm has the option to utilize either short-
term or long-term funds to finance assets. Upon selecting short-term or
long-term financing, the firm should then determine the degree to which
assets funded by short-term sources align with the risk-return trade-off
technique.
Flexibility
Cost
There is a contention between the utilization of transient and long haul reserves
in the money related arrangement. Transient monetary in is less unreasonable
than long haul financing in any case, in the meantime, fleeting financing
31
includes more serious danger than the long haul financing. In this manner, to
pick between fleeting and long haul financing the firm needs to realize balance
in the middle of danger and return.
1. Trade Credit:
Trade credit refers to credit extended by suppliers of goods and services.
It's a spontaneous financing source, arising from routine business
transactions without specific negotiations, as long as the firm maintains
good creditworthiness. It constitutes a significant financing avenue,
typically ranging from 25% to 50% of short-term financing.
2. Instalment Credit:
This method enables immediate possession of goods with payments
spread across predetermined instalments. While interest is usually
charged on the outstanding amount, this approach furnishes funds for a
specific period. Many businesses employ instalment credit as a means
of short-term working capital financing.
3. Public Deposits:
32
Firms, both hefty and small, have increasingly sought unsecured
deposits from the public, primarily to address their working Capital
needs. Typically, firms offer high-interest rates, often in the range of
14% to 15%, as an incentive to attract deposits.
4. Advances:
Certain businesses secure advances from customers and intermediaries
based on orders, constituting a short-term and cost-effective source of
finance. Manufacturing industries opt for this approach to curtail their
working Capital investment.
Balancing the necessity for adequate and inadequate levels is crucial in guiding
the flow and distribution of working Capital components. Additionally,
planning and utilizing a mix of payment, short-term, and long-term funding
sources are integral for financing current asset investments. It's noteworthy that
the cost of long-term funds displays less fluctuation compared to short-term
funds, which exhibit higher volatility. While determining the working-capital
policy, one should consider both returns and the broader concepts linked to
working capital management. The role of the financial manager involves
monitoring fund inflows and outflows in line with organizational needs. This
encompasses the composition altitudes of current-assets and liabilities,
impacting the company's profitability and risk. These decisions lead to distinct
33
net working-capital positions or strategies, labelled as aggressive, balanced, or
conservative, based on their implications for the company's risk.
5. Sales:
Every single organization need to make benefits with a end goal of
generating revenue. If the company experiences negative Cash flow
34
stemming from a reduction in incoming revenue., it will draw down its
working capital.
6. Venture:
The magnitude of ventures plays important role in fetching working
capital .The greater the magnitude of business the more extensive the
demand for working capital.
7. Creditors:
Sundry loan bosses are to who organization owe cash. It incorporates
broker’s companions, suppliers, relatives, monetary establishments and
so on.
8. Debtors:
Debtors are the persons who need to make instalment for the
organization. It incorporates clients, purchases; and so on generally,
the time given for purchasers for credit instalment is 60 to 90days.
9. Cash:
Cash is basis for each affiliation. It also influences maximum liquidity
and maximum profitability in the day today business. In each method
cash is accept a vivacious part rather in starting another plant, purchase
of milk (raw material), feed and fodder ,advertisement & publicity
also other product which are not manufactured in the MYMUL but
also the demand for product is available.
35
10. Working capital:
Working capital depicts the variance between resource inflow and
outflow, highlighting the surplus of current-assets compared to current
liabilities.
37
turnover rate. The challenge is to balance the propensity for a big turnover with
the propensity for a too small turnover ensures that cash id used as efficiently
as feasible without placing stockholders’ capital at unnecessary risk. The
effective use of cash resources is shown by the cash balance in term of fewer
days’ sales, and such businesses might not need a appropriate rise in cash
resources in tandem with an escalation in sales volume. Thus, it has an impact
on a company’s profitability.

progression encompassing the transformation of purchased raw milk into cash.

conversion cycle and net operating margin display a adverse influence on the
return on assets.
Riyaz Ahmed. SDM Institute 2012: The research highlights the significance
of optimal working capital management, which plays a crucial role in key
financial decisions and contributes to positive value generation for businesses.
Short-term investments encompassing cash, inventories, and debtors,
collectively known as working capital, are essential funds for conducting daily
business operations. The findings underscore that enhancing working capital
administration can effectively improve the net profit margin of Indian
companies. Moreover, the study indicates that short-term variables do not exert
an influence on the Return on Net-Worth in the examined companies.
Luca sensini &Marie Vazquez 2021: The major goal of this editorial was
toassess how WC management affect the viability of Argentine agro –industrial
enterprises. We consider the 326 sample to test hypothesis. It consist of
independent variable (DSI, DPO, and DSO & CCC). Independent-variable as
40
EBITDA and advantage has a control variable. The independent Variable
showed up negative-relationship with profitability; also suggest investing in
inventory and seeking longer grace period from vendors leads to additional
expenses that outweigh any gains.
41
Gołaś Z. (2020): This study looked at how working capital management
(WCM) and return on assets (ROA) relate to one another in milk processing
businesses. We employed the Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC), Days Sales of
Inventory (DSI), Days Sales Outstanding (DSO), Days Payable Outstanding
(DPO), and Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) as WCM measures. The Emerging
Markets Information Service (EMIS) database's microdata for Polish dairy
enterprises from 2008 to 2017 served as the study's foundation. Panel regression
models were used to show that, in dairy companies, extending the DSO and
DPO had a positive influence on ROA while extending the DSI and CCC had a
negative impact. Such ties were typically seen among SMEs, which make up
the majority of companies in Poland.
42
capital management effectiveness. The cash conversion cycle of Indian
manufacturing enterprises is reduced as promote ownership and control
increase.
M. Pirttila,V. M. Virolainen, L. Lind, karri .2020 : The study say that to get
the business competitive advantage , They need to effectively secure financing
for their supply chains. They uses the model such as CCC and ROA as
measurement .The outcomes were the longer account payable is prevalent
,inventory levels should be high and CCC,s must be short ,the most proficient
firms are folks who pay their suppliers promptly.

Management and businesses operating in India?It consider the top 500 firms on
the BSE,ranked by revenue .The findings were CCC increased by 6 days for
business in India. Inventory turnover days extended in 9 out of the 12 monitored
sectors. To counteract the repercussions of the pandemic on working capital,
69% of businesses raised their payable accounts. Notably, the most substantial
enhancements in the cash conversion cycle were observed within the cement
and building materials, chemicals, and automotive industries.

Introduction:
MYMUL procures raw milk directly from the farmers through the Dairy
Co-operative societies (DCS). MYMUL has got 71 milk procurement routes
and each route covers around 15 to 20 societies. DCS collects milk from
producer which is stored in cans and transported to MYMUL through trucks. If
the main dairy is far away from DCS, the milk is transferred to nearest chilling
centre in order to chill the milk so as to avoid the growth of micro organisms
which is then transported to main dairy.
MYMUL has got three chilling centres located in Hunsur, Kollegala and
Chamrajanagar. After collecting milk from various DCS, it will be processed in
MYMUL and supplied to the customers. Secondary items like packaging
materials, engineering materials are procured through calling tenders. The
payment is made to supplier of milk on weekly basis and the payment for the
transport contractors is made once in a fortnight. In case of shortage of milk, the
Union purchases milk from other dairy at inter dairy price.

Introduction:
Later, the raw milk is passed through plate chillers of variable capacity
where it is cooled up to 4-5 degrees Celsius. This cooled milk is further stored
in a silo of 30,000 litres capacity.
Production process:

Clean in Place System (CIP System) at MYMUL
Every equipments and milk lines are cleaned once every day for milk
processing. Hence to process one litre of milk, one litre of water is used. To
clean these equipments and milk lines, sodium hydroxide and nitric acid of
concentration 1% each are used. The procedure followed to clean these
equipments and milk lines are as follows:
During this step, raw water is passed through equipment and milk lines
and milk residues are drained out.
During this step, lye is passed through equipments and milk lines so
that fat content stacked in equipments and milk lines will be drained out after
few seconds and the remaining lye solution will be collected in lye tank. Again,
raw water is passed through equipments and milk lines so that acid remains in
the equipments and milk will be drained out.
During this step, acid is passed through equipments and milk lines so
that inside milk scaly will be removed and the acid will be drained out after few
seconds. The remaining acid solution will be collected in acid tank. Again, raw
water is passed through equipments and milk lines so that the acid remain in the
equipments and milk lines will be drained out.
56
5th step- Fresh water circulation Fresh water at room temperature is passed
through equipments and milk lines so that the lines will be perfectly cleaned
and they attain the room temperature.

Function:
Quality is the essential attribute attached to any product. All products and
services that want to be a leader in the market should provide the superior
quality. MYMUL also follows the same strategy. Q. C department at MYMUL
ensures the quality of the milk and products to the prescribed standards. It is
also responsible for formulating the quality control policies and development
of standards for the milk and milk products from time-to-time. The standards
are mandatory and include the latest quality parameters
The quality control department randomly assesses the quality of milk and the
products produced by the union. It ensures that they comply with the standards
and also provides instructions for improvement. Routine inspection of the
dairy plant and chilling units are part of the responsibility of quality control
58
department to assess the machinery condition, cleanliness and hygiene and
processing parameters being followed. The Q. C department tests the
packaging materials purchased by the union. The quality testing equipments
are checked regularly. The new packaging materials and newly introduced
products go through rigorous quality control checks by Q. C department.
Usually Q. C department tests the purchased materials that are directly
concerned with food. Only after the approval of Q. C the materials purchased
are accepted and stored for record.
Tests carried out for milk and milk products:
Analysis of milk:
1. Argunoreptic test:
This test is conducted to smell, sweet and flavour of milk.
2. Adulteration test:
This test is conducted to see if the procured milk is adulterated
with salt, sugar and soda by the producers.
3. Clot On Boiling test:
This test is conducted to determine heat stability of the milk.
4. Fat and SNF test:
During this test, amount of SNF/FAT is tested. Basically, milk
consists of 85 % water and 15 % solid particles. Price of the milk
received from farmers is determined by its SNF/FAT content. Higher
the SNF/FAT in the milk, greater will be its price.
Analysis of curd:
There are various tests conducted for the curds in Quality Control
department. They are Acidity test, Yeast and Mould test, coli form test, Body
and Texture, flavour test, Fat and SNF test are also conducted to know the Fat
and SNF percentage.
Analysis of Butter:
The various Quality Control tests conducted for butter are Butter Fat
test, curd content test, moisture test, Acidity test, yeast and mould test, coli form
counts. Moisture test is conducted to determine the moisture content of butter
according to predetermine levels of moisture content in the butter.
Analysis of Ghee:
59
The various Quality Control tests conducted for Ghee are moisture test,
Acidity test, RMV (Richards Mussel Value), PV (Paulsen Value) test and Fat
test. Here, the fat content, acidity percentage and moisture percentage of the
ghee is compared with the predetermined levels of the fat contents, acidity and
moisture test.

RESEARCH DESIGN
74
4.1 STATMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Within a manufacturing company, the task of overseeing working capital is
notably intricate and fraught with risks. The preservation of robust liquidity is
paramount for overall success. A prominent predicament encountered by many
enterprises revolves around the upkeep of working capital. Consequently, the
careful equilibrium of components such as inventory management, cash
management, and accounts receivable management assumes paramount
importance in retaining the health of working capital.
75
4.4 SCOPE OF THE STUDY:
Using the appropriate statistical methods, the composed data has been analysed.
Regression analysis was applied to the claim analysis. The data was evaluated
using the SPSS model while considering the elements specified in each
hypothesis. To assess the validity of the research of hypotheses, a "student T-
test" is utilised.
76
• If the tabular t test is higher than the calculated t test (Ttab>Tcalc), the
decision rule is to castoff the alternative hypothesis (H1) and accept the
null hypothesis (H0).
• Accepting the substitute hypothesis (H1) while rejecting the null hypothesis
(H0) if the tabular t test is less than the calculated t test (Ttab).
The information has been collected from the below sources in the preparation
of the project.
Secondary sources:
The data is collected from the number of books, Magazines and documents
of MYMUL.
Collection of required data from the annual records, Monthly records,
internal published book or profile of MYMUL.
The company's annual reports;
Additional publications and periodicals relevant to the dairy industries
4.6 HYPOTHESIS:
77

working capital of the organization.
H1 = There is an interrelation between creditors collection period and
working capital of the organization.
Chapter 1: Introduction
The hypothetical experience of the study has been given in depth knowledge
along with 20-literature review to sustenance the study research.
This helps us to know how each department is responsible for each process from
raw materials to finished products.

Interpretation: In 2018, the inventory- turnover ratio was 21.50.The sales have
decreased in the approaching years, which has caused the ratio to decrease.The
ratio was raised to its maximum in 2021 and 2022, which is 24.93 and 24.85,
respectively.

The debtor turnover ratio reflects the effectiveness of the company's debt
collection efforts. This ratio establishes the frequency with which receivables
from debtors have changed throughout the course of the defined period..
Graph 4
Interpretation: It is apparent that the debtors' turnover ratio fell between 2017
and 2018, or in the debtors' collection period, by a difference of 11.9 times.
After that, throughout the previous four years, it has been sharply rising, i.e. is
81.05 times in 2022.In the dairy industry, a 10 to 12 times debtor turnover ratio
is ideal. A shorter time interval between sales and cash collection can be shown
in higher debtor collection periods.
DEBTORS COLLECTION PERIOD
84
The borrower holding period measures the type of borrowers by defining how
fast or clearly money is withdrawn from them. A shorter accumulation time
suggests prompt instalments from account holders.
Debtors collection period = Days in a year ÷ Debtor turnover ratio

21-22 20-21 19-20 18-19 17-18
Interpretation: In 2017, it lasted about 8 days, which is a lot less time than the
average period, which might range from 10 to 15 days or even less. It reaches
10.78 days in the year 2018, which is better, but in subsequent days it has fallen
short of the norms.
85
CREDITORS TURNOVER RATIO (CTR)
The proportion of accounts payable to total revenue is a transient liquidity
metric used to assess how quickly a company pay its suppliers. The total
purchases made using suppliers divided by the average amount of accounts
payable during the same period yield the creditor liability turnover proportion.

CREDITORD COLLECTION PERIOD (CCP)
A collection time is the standard figure of days required to recover receivables
from clients. It is determined by how long it takes since the interval of invoice
is sent until the client pays it.
Given that the creditor company has its funds at risk for a shorter amount of
time and requires less working capital to operate the firm, a shorter gathering
period is thought to be ideal. Some organization, however, consciously permit
a longer collection period in order to increase their sales to client with lower
credit quality.

WORKING CAPITAL TURNOVER RATIO (WCTR)
This ratio demonstrates the turnover of working capital over following year.
This ratio measures the efficiency with which the business uses its working
capital.

Interpretation: Over time, the working capital varies. 2018 saw 15.25 times, as much.
In later 2 years it was turned down where in 2021 is has been further increased to 15.08
and it started to decline in 2022.

Interpretation: The operating cycle was shorter in 2017, which increased the
collection period. The operational cycle started to fall later in the year of 2108 and
has been increasing for the last three years.

Interpretation: we can clearly absorb that we have a negative cash cycle for
the 3 long years and in the year 2018 we have a positive cash flow i.e., 1.976.
A company is said -to be in a negative cash cycle when it pays its creditors more
90
quickly than it receives payment from customer. This may result in a decrease
in cash flow, endangering the viability and sustainability of the Company.

The insights and judgemental reached after scrutinising a company’s financial
accounts and associated data are referred as financial analysis results. Financial
analysis involves assessing a variety of aspects of company’s financial
performance, position, and operations in order to enhance understanding its
financial health, strength, weaknesses, and potential threats. The findings of
financial analysis provide information that may aid in the decision- making
process for creditors, manager, investors, and other stakeholders.
6.1 Findings:
Current ratio: A quantifiable ratio can be anywhere between 1.5 - 3, and you
figure out in the diagram from 2020 to 2022 it has better ratio.
Inventory turnover ratio: In 2018, the inventory turnover ratio was 21.50. The
ratio was raised to its maximum in 2021 and 2022, 24.93 in 2021 and 24.85 in
2022, respectively.
Debtors turnover ratio: debtor’s turnover ratio decreased from 2017 to 2018
with difference of 11.9 times i.e. decreased in the debtors collection period.
Later, it has dramatically increased during the last four years, reaching 81.05
times in 2022.
Debtor’s collection period: In 2017, it lasted about 8 days, which is a lot less
time than the average period, which might range from 10 to 15 days or even
101
less.It reaches 10.78 days in the year 2018, which is better, but in subsequent
days it has fallen short of the norms.
Working capital: It was 15.25 times more in 2018 than it was in 2017 .later 2 years it
has been declined where in 2021 is has been further increased to 15.08 and it started
to decline in 2022.
Operating cycle: The operating cycle was shorter in 2017, which increased the
collection period. The operational cycle started to fall later in the year of 2108 and has
been increasing for the last three years.
Cash cycle: We can easily understand that after three lengthy years of a negative
cash cycle, we now have a positive cash flow cycle, or 1.976, for the year 2018.
Hypothesis 1:
Hypothesis 2:
“There is relation and dependence between the companies’ working capital and
debtor’s collection period”. i.e. 0.537616, which is greater than 0.05 (reject null
hypothesis)
Hypothesis 3:
“There is relation and dependence between the companies’ working capital and
creditor’s collection period”. i.e. 0.22721, which is greater than 0.05 (reject null
hypothesis)
Hypothesis 4:
“There is relation and dependence between the companies’ working capital and
cash cycle”. 0.753914, which is greater than 0.05 (reject null hypothesis
102
6.2 Suggestions
103
It must guide the consumers regarding its product by giving various
Demonstration programmes.
Online computer systems (website) have to be created by the
organisation.
104
6.3 Conclusions:
The turnover ratios for inventories, debtors, and creditors have all increased
during the past year. While the operating cycle has a direct impact, the
inventory-holding duration, debtors' and creditors' collection period have been
decreasing.
