To find out how many blue pens the secretary will indicate on the inventory, we first need to find out how many pens are in total.
Each box contains 15 blue pens, and there are 12 boxes. So the total number of blue pens is

15 \times 12 = 180

pens.
Therefore, the secretary will indicate

\boxed{180}

pens on the inventory.

CASE 6-1: PREPARE A PRODUCTION PLAN: WHAT PROBLEMS ARRIVE? Midwest Plastics Company has conducted profit planning for several years. The president stated (with justification) that inventory control and planning had not been satisfactory, which was mainly due to poor planning of production and inventory budgets. Please analyze and provide recommendations, in detail, on the issue regarding the 20B profit plan, which is now being prepared.
