What is Inventory Management?
Inventory control is the process of monitoring, storing, and coordinating the stocks of goods in a company, including materials, partially completed products, and finished goods. The function ensures optimal stock levels to meet business needs efficiently.
Key Inventory Management Techniques
Just-In-Time (JIT) Inventory Management:
JIT is a system of purchasing where inventory is ordered and received just before it is needed in the production process.
- Minimizes storage costs.
- Reduces waste and obsolescence.
ABC Analysis:
ABC analysis categorizes inventory into three groups: A items (high-value, low-quantity), B items (moderate value and quantity), and C items (low-value, high-quantity).
- Focuses attention on the most valuable inventory items.
- Helps allocate resources effectively.
FIFO and LIFO:
FIFO: First-In, First-Out ensures that the oldest stock is sold first, ideal for perishable goods. LIFO: Last-In, First-Out sells the most recently acquired inventory first, suitable for industries with fluctuating inventory costs.
Safety Stock and Reorder Point:
Safety stock is additional inventory to avoid running out during delays or demand spikes. Reorder Point: The inventory level indicating when to reorder.
Reorder Point Calculation:
Reorder Point = (Average Daily Usage × Lead Time) + Safety Stock
Economic Order Quantity (EOQ):
EOQ is a model used to determine the ideal order quantity that minimizes total inventory costs, including ordering and holding costs.
