  • Inventory Is a List for Goods and Materials, Or Those Goods and Materials Themselves, Held Available in Stock by a Business. It
    [Type text] Inventory is a list for goods and materials, or those goods and materials themselves, held available in stock by a business. It is also used for a list of the contents of a household and for a list for testamentary purposes of the possessions of someone who has died. In accounting inventory is considered an asset. In business management, inventory consists of a list of goods and materials held available in stock. The reasons for keeping stock There are three basic reasons for keeping an inventory: 1. Time - The time lags present in the supply chain, from supplier to user at every stage, requires that you maintain certain amounts of inventory to use in this "lead time." 2. Uncertainty - Inventories are maintained as buffers to meet uncertainties in demand, supply and movements of goods. 3. Economies of scale - Ideal condition of "one unit at a time at a place where a user needs it, when he needs it" principle tends to incur lots of costs in terms of logistics. So bulk buying, movement and storing brings in economies of scale, thus inventory. All these stock reasons can apply to any owner or product stage. Buffer stock is held in individual workstations against the possibility that the upstream workstation may be a little delayed in long setup or change over time. This stock is then used while that changeover is happening. This stock can be eliminated by tools like SMED. These classifications apply along the whole Supply chain, not just within a facility or plant. [Type text] Where these stocks contain the same or similar items, it is often the work practice to hold all these stocks mixed together before or after the sub-process to which they relate.

  • Criteria-Iii Research, Consultancy & Extension
    CRITERIA-III RESEARCH, CONSULTANCY & EXTENSION 0 III: RESEARCH, CONSULTANCY AND EXTENSION 3.1 Promotion of Research 3.1.1 Is there an Institutional Research Committee which monitors and addresses issues related to research? If yes, what is its composition? Mention a few recommendations which have been implemented and their impact. College has constituted an RPAC (Research Project Advisory Committee) which is a 5 member committee headed by a Chairperson and other faculty members who review all projects; PhD protocols or any other scientific study protocols that are being submitted for extramural grant. The RPAC meets quarterly or even frequently as per the number of projects submitted for funding. The RPAC has also laid down guidelines for sponsored research projects for all departments, as per University rules. The Intramural Research Committee is an Institutional Research Committee which monitors the intramural grants rewarded to postgraduate students & young faculty every year @ Rs.25,000/- for each protocol on competitive basis. The grant is generated under the IMRG research grant which is reviewed by the Research Cell Committee. Currently the amount is fixed to Rs.10 lakh /year. The committee members are appointed by the Principal as per Delhi University guidelines. Members review the scientific content (introduction; rationale; hypothesis methodology; implication etc.) of each protocol and seek clarifications by the PI’s/Co- PI’s so as to facilitate the program for early clearance. After obtaining clearance the proposals are forwarded to higher authority/institutional head for endorsement. A separate Research Cell headed by a nominated senior faculty member and administrative staff look after the projects sanctioned by funding agency.

  • Oral History of Arjun Malhotra
    Oral History of Arjun Malhotra Interviewed by: Uday Kapoor Douglas Fairbairn Recorded November 15, 2018 Mountain View, CA CHM Reference number: X8840.2019 © 2018 Computer History Museum Oral History of Arjun Malhotra Kapoor: This is Uday Kapoor. I'm a volunteer at the Computer History Museum here to welcome Mr. Arjun Malhotra. He's a pioneer of the Indian IT industry. Welcome, Arjun. Malhotra: Thank you. Fairbairn: So we want to start with your early life and take it from there. Malhotra: Well, I was born in Calcutta. My maternal grandfather was a well-known scientist. He was president of the Indian Science Congress in 1954, and I grew up with him. In fact, he used to go for a walk in the morning around Victoria Memorial. I used to hold his little finger and go walking with him. While he was walking and talking to his scientific colleagues, he'd ask me two plus five, three plus eight, etc. And so, when I went to school, I was ahead of the math class because when the teacher used to write the problem on the blackboard, I would give her the answer. So, I was thrown out of the math class as a disruptive influence and was sent to learn Bible Knowledge. That's how I grew up. Fairbairn: So, let's go back. That's an interesting story. What type of scientist was your grandfather and-- Malhotra: So, he was a zoologist, basically, but expert on fishes. An ichthyologist, I think, is the word they use. Fairbairn: Oh, yeah.
