INDUSTRY PROFILE
INTRODUCTION:
Had its start some 15-20 years ago. The courier industry was initially limited to the four metros – New Delhi, Mumbai, kolkatta, and Chennai and to some extent to Bangalore. The reason was the airport connection these metros were. But, the changing economy and technical advancement seen on a daily basis, the industry has grown and extended faster to several cities and even rural areas. And it is still growing.
A courier company anywhere in the world has its primary virtue is its efficiency to render service. The better the quality of service, the more the satisfied customers, better the chances of survival. The industry s booming and market is cut-throat competitive. The advancement of technology and internet has thing slight easier and more competitive as well.
Courier services in India can be segregated in few categories. Basically, it begins with intra-city service which are about speedy delivery of mails and goods within the city. Broadening the services, inter-city service are covered. Normally this is termed as surface cargo service where short distance and bulk loads are handled. Surface mode service is performed through two ways: firstly, on road (by bus or vehicle) and secondly on track (by train) service. The products are normally delivered through door to door.
Courier companies work in tandem with the foremost airlines and in sync with their well tuned, well associated set of connections the timely deliverance and protected service is guaranteed. Few other variant of service could be express service, ocean freight, industry solutions, logistics solutions, shipping tools. These particular services are individual of a company’s area of specialization and diversification.

COURIER:
A courier is a person or a company who delivers message, packages, and mail courier are distinguished from ordinary mail services by features such as speed security, tracking. Signature, specialization and individualization of services, and committed delivery times, which are optional for most everyday mail services, as a premium service, courier are usually more expensive than usual mail services, and their use is typically restricted to packages where one or more of these features are considered important enough to warrant the cost.
Different courier service operate on all scales, from within specific towns or cities,to regional, national and global service. The world’s largest courier companies are velox express, DHL, FEDEX, OBC, express Ltd, TNT.NV, UPS, and Aramex these offer services worldwide, typically via a hub and spoke model.
Couriers before the industrial area:
In ancient times runners and homing pigeon and riders on horseback were used to deliver timely messages. Before there were mechanized courier services foot messengers physically ran miles to their destinations. to this day are marathons directly related to actual historical messenger’s routes.

TYPES OF COURIERS :
In cities, there is often bicycle courier or motorcycle courier but for consignments requiring delivery over greater distance networks, this may often include lorries, railway and aircraft.
Many companies who operate under a JUST IN TIME or “JIT” inventory method often utilize on - board couriers. On - board couriers are individuals who can travel at a moment’s notice anywhere in the world, usually via commercial airlines. While this type of service is the second costliest – GENERAL AVIATION charters are far more expensive – companies analyze the cost of service to engage an on – board courier versus the “cost” the company will realize should the product not arrive by a specified time.

INDIAN LOGISTICS OUT LOOK:
On the other hand, since year 2000, the Indian industrial sector has also begun to look up, and in 2006, it registered over 10% growth for the time decades. Primarily driven by the manufacturing and capital goods segments. In the Indian manufacturing industry, textile plays a predominant role, while the chemical industry is the second largest industrial sector (12% of the GDP). However, India’s influence in global trade remains low and the country represents only 1% of the world exports trade. India mainly exports engineering goods, germs and jewelers (83% of diamond sold in the world are cut in India), textile and fabrics, and leather goods. The major imports are oil, precious stones, chemical products and machinery/engineering equipments. India’s main trade partners (exports and imports ) are Belgium, china, Switzerland, UAE, the UK, and US. With India’s GDP growing at 9% and the manufacturing sector enjoying double digit growth rates the logistics industry is at an inflection point. Strong growth enables exist today in the forum of $250 billion worth of infrastructure investment phased introduction of vat, and development of organized retail, telecom, and auto component manufacturing will lead to increased market opportunities for logistics service providers (LSPs). India currently spends over 13% of its GDP on logistics, which is very high compared to western Europe and north America, where logistics cost as a percentage of GDP is in the become imperative and the growth in domestic demand is driven by a number of factors including the rising income level and easy availability of low – cost finance. The auto sectors are key to the Indian economy from both the perspective of economic contribution as well as that of employment generation. The sectors employs 13 million people and contribution to around 17% of the direct taxes kitty, the growth in the domestic demand is driven by a number of factors including the rising income levels and easy availability of low – cost finance.

The length of the operating cycle can be calculated in two ways ;
I. Gross Operating Cycle II. Net Operating Cycle
I. Gross Operating Cycle :
The gross operating cycle of a trading concern in is the sum of inventory conversion period and debtors (Receivables) conversion period. Thus gross operating cycle is given as follows :
INVENTORY CONVERSION PERIOD + DEBTORS CONVERSION PERRIOD
II. Net Operating Cycle : Net Operating Cycle is the difference between Gross Operating Cycle and creditors (Payable) deferral period.
Length Of Operating cycle :
The sum of conversion period (ICP), Debtors conversion period (DCP).
Operating Cycle Period = ICP+DCP
Inventory Conversion Period
1) RML conversion period = RML inventory X 360 RML consumption
2) WIP conversion period = WIP inventory X 360 Cost of Production
3) F/G conversion period = Finished goods inventory X 360 Cost of goods sold
OXFORD College Of Business administration, Hubli 34
VRL LOGISTICS pvt ltd Varur-Hubli
4) Debtors conversion period = debtors X 360 Credit sales at sales
5) Payable deferral period = Creditors X 360 Credit sales
INVENTORY CONVERSION PRIOD (ICP) :
The total time needed for producing and selling the product and includes raw material conversion period. Work in progress conversion period and finished goods conversion period.
ICP=RMCP+WIPCP+FGCP
DEBTOR’S CONVERSION PERIOD [DCP] :
The time required to collect the outstanding amount from the customers.
GROSS OPERATING CYCLE [GOC] :
The total of inventory conversion period and debtor’s conversion period.
GOG=ICP+DCP NET OPERATING CYCLE [NOC] :
It is the net difference between gross operating cycle and payable deferral period .
PAYABLE DEFERRAL PERIOD [PDP] :
Capacity of firm to postpone the payments. The ability of a firm to acquire resources on credit and temporarily postpone payment of certain expenses it is length of time the firm is able to postpone payment on various resources purchases.

CCC=NOC-Depreciation and Profit
IMPORTANCE OF OPERATING CYCLE :
Operating cycle concept is a new concept in working capital management, which has been gaining more and more importance in recent years. This concept emphasis the importance of time factor in the conversion of raw materials into final product and then into sales resulting in cash collection right from the acquisition of raw materials. Normally operating cycles passes through the following stages.
a. Acquisition of raw materials
b. Work in process
c. Stock of finished goods
d. Sale and realization of sale proceeds
Operating cycle concept plays an important role in determining the working capital management of firm. Longer the operating cycle greater will be the amount of working capital requirement and shortest operating cycle requires limited amount of working capital. There fore an efficient management should try to reduce the time elapsed in these consecutive stages of operating cycle.
Duration of manufacturing process right from the acquisition of raw materials till they are sold out after being converted onto final product and the realized determines the amount of working capital required.
