Relationship between inventory management and demand forecast

The study aims to achieve balance between inventory management and demand forecast to regulate operations effectively and efficiently at a franchise of retail grocery store. The study uses the qualitative research to obtain better results through interviews from resources to analyse the research properly. The main agenda of this research is to control inventory satisfactorily and recommend policies and plans to overcome problems and errors. The study found that there is lack of system running for proper management of inventory and demand forecasting. Lack of these systems affect the business badly by lowering sales revenue and reducing franchise goodwill. The study recommends that there should be an effective model and systems introduced in the operations to curb problems like being out of stock and holding excessive stock, which lead to more cost to the business. Best models for this store could be the just-in-time and the moving-average model. Introducing the systems could help the business to run effectively, but follow-up is the significant factor in applying new systems in any organisation. Developed processes and criteria should be used in implementing these models. Regular checking should be done to see the working of systems

Antioxidant activities of different parts of Gnetum gnemon L.

Analyses on biological activities of Gnetum gnemon were done to determine the total phenolic and antioxidants of the plant. Four parts of G. gnemon were used in this study, which were leaf, bark, twig, and seeds of the plant. All parts were extracted in methanol, ethanol, hexane, chloroform and hot water using reflux. The total phenolic content of the plant extracts were determined by using Folin-Ciocalteu method. The results demonstrated that the bark from hot water extract showed the highest total phenolic at 10.71 ± 0.01 mg GAE/ FDW, while the lowest was chloroform extract of seed at 2.15 ± 0.01 mg GAE/ FDW. The antioxidant activity of the plant extracts were determined by using DPPH and FRAP assays, respectively. The DPPH results showed that all plant extracts demonstrated weak free radical scavenging activity tested at the final concentration of 300 μg/ml. In contrast, the methanolic twig extract showed strong reducing power activity (FRAP) at 83.55 ± 1.05%, while the hot water seed extract showed the least activity at 41.86 ± 4.22% tested at the final concentration of 300 μg/ml. However, there were no correlation between total phenolics and both antioxidant assays tested
