INVENTORY
MANAGEMENT
 INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

Inventory management is a very important function that determines the health of the supply
chain as well as the impacts the financial health of the balance sheet

Inventory is an idle stock of physical goods that contain economic value, and are held in
various forms by an organization in its custody awaiting packing, processing, transformation,
use or sale in a future point of time.
 NEED FOR INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

Most of the organizations have raw material inventory warehouses attached to the
production facilities where raw materials, consumables and packing materials are stored and
issue for production on JIT basis. The reasons for holding inventories can vary from case to
case basis.
 MEET VARIATION IN PRODUCTION DEMAND

• Production plan changes in response to the sales, estimates, orders and stocking patterns.
Accordingly the demand for raw material supply for production varies with the product plan
as well as in batch quantities.
• Holding inventories at a nearby warehouse helps issue the required quantity and item to
production just in time.
 CATER TO CYCLICAL AND SEASONAL DEMAND

• Market demand and supplies are seasonal depending upon various factors like seasons;
festivals etc and past sales data help companies to anticipate a huge surge of demand in the
market well in advance. Accordingly they stock up raw materials and hold inventories to be
able to increase production and rush supplies to the market to meet the increased demand
 ECONOMIES OF SCALE IN PROCUREMENT

• Buying raw materials in larger lot and holding inventory is found to be cheaper for the
company than buying frequent small lots. In such cases one buys in bulk and holds
inventories at the plant warehouse.
