INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
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.
1.1

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.
