Inventory Management
Inventory management, also known as inventory control, involves the careful balance of inventory needs and requirements to prevent an excessive oversupply. The goal of inventory management is to minimize unnecessary costs that result from obtaining and holding unneeded inventory.
Many business owners fail to fully appreciate the true costs of carrying inventory, which include not only the direct costs of storage, insurance and taxes, but also the cost of money tied up in inventory. The line between keeping too much inventory and not enough is not the only area of concern. Others include:
- Maintaining a wide assortment of stock without spreading the rapidly moving items too thin
- Increasing inventory turnover without sacrificing service
- Keeping stock low without sacrificing delivery performance
- Obtaining lower prices by making volume purchases without ending up with slow-moving inventory
- Having adequate inventory on hand without getting caught with obsolete items
