One of the most important contributory components of Supply Chain Management, Inventory Management is concerned with the supervision of the flow of goods from manufacturer to Warehouse, and ultimately from Warehouse to the final point of sale. Along with the physical receipt, storage and distribution of goods, Inventory Management involves the maintenance of detailed and accurate records of each and every item as it enters or leaves the facility. Effective Inventory Management has the potential to improve the performance of the entire business. At the opposite end of the spectrum, substandard Inventory Management can bring operations to a grinding halt. In a world where speed and efficiency are expected norms, capable Inventory Managers are considered invaluable business assets.
