Inventory management is a very important process to maintain the supply line and smooth transfer of inventory in an organization. But wait, what’s inventory? It’s the idle physical stock of an organization that holds an economic value and is unfinished or will be used for sale in the future. That means they are yet ready to be packed, transformed, processed or used in the coming future. It’s the extra material a company holds to maintain its supply; and the process of managing this stock is called inventory management.
