Abstract

This study investigates the efficiency of inventory control practices in the project logistics operations of Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), Tiruchirappalli — India's premier boiler manufacturer. As an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) entity, BHEL manages a vast array of high-value components, raw materials, and sub-assemblies essential for uninterrupted project execution. The study evaluates traditional and modern inventory models — including ABC Analysis, Economic Order Quantity (EOQ), Safety Stock, VED, and SAP-integrated ERP systems — to determine their impact on reducing holding costs and preventing stockouts. A structured questionnaire survey was administered to 110 employees across Production, Stores, Purchase, Logistics, and Quality departments. Data were analysed using One-Way ANOVA, Chi-Square tests, and Spearman's Rank Correlation. Findings indicate that supply delays (34.5%) and poor tracking (24.5%) are the dominant operational challenges, while 74.5% of respondents expressed overall satisfaction with the current inventory management system.

Keywords: Inventory Management, ABC Analysis, ERP Systems, Safety Stock, Supply Chain, BHEL, Project Logistics, EOQ, VED Analysis, Manufacturing Operations
