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.
