Inventory control in hospitals aims to efficiently order and store just the right amount of supplies needed for patient cases while tracking costs. It involves classifying inventory into official and unofficial categories. The objectives of inventory control are to supply materials on time, reduce idle time by avoiding stockouts, and meet future demand. Selective inventory control involves grouping inventory and applying different levels of control based on item costs and importance through various classification methods like ABC analysis.

Stores management is part of the overall function of materials management. In order, therefore, to understand the function of the former it is desirable to have a clear understanding of what materials management stands for.
According to Alford and Beatty “storekeeping is that aspect of material control concerned with the physical storage of goods.” In other words, storekeeping relates to art of preserving raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods in the stores.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

INTRODUCTION
Inventory control in hospitals is more than just procurement and usage. The proper
controls and processes can save millions in healthcare costs by enabling a hospital to
efficiently order and store just the right amount of supplies needed for patient cases while
tracking cost, tier pricing and patient charges associated with supplies.
Inventory control is an important aspect of material management. If the level of
inventories goes up the carrying charges also increase but the procurement cost decreases.
Inventory control is basically a scientific system which indicates as to what to order,
when to order.
Condemnation occurs when a local, state or federal government seizes private
property and compensates the owner. Condemned property must be appraised by the
governmental authority.
3. 3
INVENTORY CONTROL
DEFINITION:
Inventory is the list of moveable items which are required to manufacture a product or to
maintain equipment. Inventory is a unique item having identification number, nomenclature
and specification.
Or
Inventory control is defined as safe guarding of company’s property in the form of inventory
and maintaining at the optimum level considering the operating requirements and financial
resources of business.
Or
Inventory control is a scientific system which indicates as to what to order, when to order,
and how much to order, and how much to stock so that purchasing costs and storing costs are
kept as low as possible.
Or
Inventory control is the technique of maintaining the size of inventory at some desire level
keeping in view the best economic interest of an organization.
4. 4
TYPES OF INVENTROY CONTROL
The inventory is basically of two types
OFFICIAL INVENTORY
The materials lying in the main stores and being accounted for but have not been
issued to the user units.
Medical and surgical items
Dressings
Linens
X-ray supplies
Laboratory supplies
Housekeeping items
All processed sterile items
UNOFFICIAL INVENTORY
The materials have been issued to the user units like the dispensary, CSSD, laundry,
wards, OPD, cast rooms etc. In case of forecasting or demand estimation, these items are not
taken into consideration by the hospital administration, so it is called as un-official inventory
for hospitals.

OBJECTIVES OF INVENTORY CONTROL
To supply the materials in time.
To give maximum clients service by meeting their requirement timely, effectively, smoothly
and satisfactorily
To reduce or minimize idle time by avoiding stock out and shortages
To avoid shortage of stock
To meet unforeseen future demand
To average out demand fluctuations
FUNCTIONS OF INVENTORY CONTROL:
To carry adequate stock to avoid stock-outs
To order sufficient quantity per order to reduce order cost
To stock just sufficient quantity to minimize inventory carrying cost
To make judicial selection of limiting the quantity of perishable items and costly materials
To take advantage of seasonal cyclic variation on availability of materials to order the right
quantity at the right time.
To provide safety stock to take care of fluctuation in demand/ consumption during lead time.
To ensure optimum level of inventory holding to minimize the total inventory cost.
PRINCIPALS OF INVENTROY MANAGEMENT
Determination of order quantity
Determination of Recorder point of Recorder level
6. 6
CONCEPTS RELEVANT IN CONTROLLING INVENTORY COSTS:
The following concepts are relevant in controlling the inventory costs:
Periodic/ cyclic system:
This system involves review of stock status at periodic/ fixed intervals and placement of
orders depending on the stock on hand and rate of consumption. The ordering interval is thus
fixed but the quantity to be ordered varies each time.
Two bin system:
It is a system where the stock of each item is held in two bins, one large bin containing
sufficient stock to meet the demands during interval between arrivals of an order quantity and
placing of next order, and the other bin containing stocks large enough to satisfy probable
demands during the period of replenishment.
When the first bin is empty, an order for replenishment is placed, and the stock in the second
bin is utilized until the ordered material is received.
Lead time:
This is the period required to obtain the supply once the need is determined. It is therefore the
average number of days between placing an indent and receiving the material.
Lead time is composed of two elements:
Administrative or buyer‘s lead time (i.e. Time required for raising purchase requisitions,
obtaining quotations, raising purchase order, order to reach supplier etc)
Delivery or supplier‘s leading time (i.e. Time required for manufacture, packing and
forwarding, shipment, delays in transit)
Minimum/safety/ buffer stock:
This is the amount of stock that should be kept in reserve to avoid a stock-out in case
consumption increases unexpectedly or in case the lead time turns out to be longer than
normal. It is also the level at which fresh supply should normally arrive, failing which action
should be taken on an emergency basis to expedite supply and replenish the stock.
Safety stock = maximum daily consumption-average daily consumption x total lead time
Maximum order level:
This is the maximum quantity of the materials to be stocked, beyond which the item must not
be in the inventory. If the inventory is maintained beyond this point, there would be loss to
the hospital by way of expiry of life items beyond the shelf life of items, loss incurred on the
capital locked up in the inventory, unnecessary use of items just to exhaust the inventory.
Re-order level:
This is the value which is very important from the point of view of the inventory control. This
is the point at which we have to place an order for procurement for replenishing the stock.
It is derived by the formula (minimum order level + buffer stock )
7. 7
TYPES OF INVENTORY COSTS
ORDERING COSTS
CARRYING COSTS
SHORTAGE COSTS
TOTAL INVENTORY COST
LEAD TIME
a. Ordering costs:
This is the cost of getting an item into the store. The process of ordering starts with raising
requisition, placing an order, follow up, transportation receipt and inspection, acceptance and
placing in stores.
b. Carrying costs:
This is the cost of holding an item in the store till it is issued out or sold.
Following are the elements:-
Interest on capital cost incurred.
Cost of obsolescence, wastages, damages.
Rent, insurance, depreciation and taxes
Maintenance costs of inventory like special treatment, stock taking etc.
Operating costs of store like direct labor and overheads like electricity, dust proofing etc.
c. Shortage costs:
These are the costs incurred both directly and indirectly due to shortages like intangible costs
due to loss of goodwill, opportunity loss or production hold costs.
d. Total inventory cost:
A total inventory cost consists of carrying costs and ordering costs.
e. Lead time:
This is the time which has elapsed between placing an order till the same items are received,
stocked and ready to use.
8. 8
AVERAGE INVENTORY
Average inventory is defined in two cases:
Average inventory at constant usage rate:
Average inventory = opening stock+ closing stock
2
Average inventory at variable usage rate:
Simple average method:
Average inventory = opening stock+ closing stock
2
Six monthly average method:
Average inventory= opening stock+ stock after 6 months+ closing stock
2
Quarterly average method:
Average inventory = sum of 4 - quarterly stock + closing stock
5
Monthly average method:
Average inventory = sum of 12- quarterly stock + closing stock

SELECTIVE INVENTORY CONTROL
Definition:
Selective inventory control means grouping the inventory and classifying for the
purpose of applying the right type of control based on their costs and functional importance.
Objective:
The primary objective of inventory control is to minimize total cost of inventory.
It requires the following:
Supervision on planning and control of inventory functions like forecast of requirements
Purchase quantity fixation
Storage and supply
Need for selective inventory control:
Inventory consists of many items, in which some are costly whereas some may be not.
Some inventories are required in large quantities whereas some are required in limited
quantities, thus each item require different type of control, some tight and some loose.
Methods of selective inventory control:
Following are the popular methods of selective inventory control:
a. ABC Analysis
b. VED Analysis
c. HML Analysis
d. XYZ Analysis
e. FSN Analysis
f. SDE Analysis
g. GOLF Analysis
h. SOS Analysis
A. ABC Analysis
It is the process of classifying items by using values as measure.
B. VED Analysis
VED Analysis – Vital, Essential and Desirable.
The vital items are stocked in abundance
10. 10
Essential items are moderate controls, purchase based on rigid requirements and reasonably
strict watch.
Desirable items are ordinary control, safety stock high, purchase based on usage estimate.
C. HML Analysis
As the name itself indicates materials are classified according to their unit value as high,
medium and low.
D. XYZ Analysis
X items are those whose stock value are high, while Z items are those stock values are low.
Understandably Y items fall between the two categories.
E. FSN Analysis
Movement analysis forms the basis for this classification. The items are classified as fast
moving, slow moving and non-moving.
F. SDE Analysis
Classification methods based on source of supply, SDE classification is a system where
materials are sorted out as scare to obtain, difficult to obtain and easy to obtain.
G. GOLF Analysis
In the GOLF system, classification is based on the availability and nature of supplies.
Government suppliers, Ordinary suppliers, Local suppliers and Foreign suppliers.
H. SOS Analysis
Raw materials can be classified into seasonal or off season items.
11. 11
ADVANTAGES:
Delivery in time
Possibility of discount for bulk purchase
Unforeseen circumstances can be handled to some extent.
Workers and machinery needn’t idle.
DISADVANTAGES:
Working capacity is tied up
More space required
Increase insurance chargers
Increased overhead expenses
Changes of damage
Increase charge for obsolescence
12. 12
CONDEMNATION
The materials which could not be used within its shelf life, deteriorated and declared
unfit for use, became obsolete or banned due to legal provisions are considered for
condemnation or disposal.
Criteria for condemnation:
The equipment has become:
1. Non-functional & beyond economical repair
2. Non-functional & obsolete
3. Functional, but obsolete
4. Functional, but hazardous
5. Functional, but no longer required
PROCEDURE FOR CONDEMNATION
Following procedure is generally carried out in case of the materials particularly drugs and
nondrug items:
A condemnation committee comprising of three or more members is constituted by
the competent authority, the terms of reference of the committee are:
a. To go in details of the reasons as to why this situation has occurred.
b. The people who are responsible for the lapses on the aspects from acquisition to
storage and distribution of materials.
c. To suggest measures to be taken for disposal of the items.
The committee members go into details through inventory records right from the point
of demand estimation to the distribution level of materials, and will find out reasons
for being an item surplus and remained unused.
The committee will declare the items condemned and make recommendation for
further disposal of items.
The condemned items are to be destroyed, so it is to be taken out from the inventory
registers, a write off sanction of the competent authority is obtained before final
disposal.
The items particularly medicines which are toxic and cannot be disposed of by burial
or as per the relevant laid down rules under the subject of waste disposal.
13. 13
The effective measures are taken for disposal of surplus items before it becomes unfit
for use is:
A list of surplus material is circulated among the hospital staff/user units
requesting them to pay special attention for mobilizing such items and giving
priority to this category of items.
The surplus materials are transferred to other hospitals where these may be
required.
The surplus materials are offered to the manufacturer/ suppliers for buy back.
In case of materials other than drugs like equipment, instruments any such
articles are treated as salvage or scrap, whatever the case may be, action is
taken accordingly
The materials may be sold by inviting tender.
Open auctions of items through authorized auctioneers.
14. 14
ROLE OF NURSE MANAGER
Ensuring regular and adequate flow of supply
Monitoring quality and safety of the materials.
Indenting, receiving, storing, and checking for all necessary equipment and supply.
Maintain of emergency stocks
Arranging and assisting in audit.
Participation in policy making for material management
Evaluating the efficacy of the material management system followed in particular nursing
unit.
15. 15
SUMMARY
In this topic inventory control and condemnation including effective of level in
management. Inventory control including definition which gives concepts of inventory
control, types, and inventory costs. Condemnation is based on the government authority.
16. 16
CONCLUSION
Inventory control and condemnation both are very important part of material
management. Having good inventory control and adopting sound methods of condemnation
will improve the efficiency of the organization. Inventory control helps in management
system. Inventory is unique item, condemnation appraised by governmental authority.
