The top management was however, not very happy with the situation and hired a professional materials manager to conduct a diagnostic study. The study revealed that out of the total stock held, a considerable volume, representing about 25 days annual sales was slow moving and 72 non-moving items valuing more than Rs 4.1 crores had not moved for over two years. 354 items that were slow moving valued at Rs 6.1 crores could last for about 5 years based on the present rate of consumption.
