Inventory Management:-
Inventory management is primarily about specifying the size and placement of
stocked goods. Inventory management is required at different locations within a
facility or within multiple locations of a supply network to protect the regular
and planned course of production against the random disturbance of running out
of materials or goods. The scope of inventory management also concerns the
fine lines between replenishment lead time, carrying costs of inventory, asset
management, inventory forecasting, inventory valuation, inventory visibility,
future inventory price forecasting, physical inventory, available physical space
for inventory, quality management, replenishment, returns and defective goods
and demand forecasting. Balancing these competing requirements leads to
optimal inventory levels, which is an on-going process as the business needs
shift and react to the wider environment
