What Is Inventory Management?
Inventory management helps companies identify which and how much stock
to order at what time. It tracks inventory from purchase to the sale of goods.

The practice identifies and responds to trends to ensure there’s always
enough stock to fulfill customer orders and proper warning of a shortage.
Once sold, inventory becomes revenue. Before it sells, inventory (although
reported as an asset on the balance sheet) ties up cash. Therefore, too much
stock costs money and reduces cash flow.
One measurement of good inventory management is inventory turnover. An
accounting measurement, inventory turnover reflects how often stock is sold
in a period. A business does not want more stock than sales. Poor inventory
turnover can lead to deadstock, or unsold stock.
Why Is Inventory Management Important?
Inventory management is vital to a company’s health because it helps make
sure there is rarely too much or too little stock on hand, limiting the risk of
stockouts and inaccurate records.
Public companies must track inventory as a requirement for compliance with
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and the Sarbanes-Oxley
(SOX) Act. Companies must document their management processes to
prove compliance.
Benefits of Inventory Management
The two main benefits of inventory management are that it ensures you’re
able to fulfill incoming or open orders and raises profits. Inventory
management also:
▪
Saves Money: Understanding stock trends means you see how much
of and where you have something in stock so you’re better able to use
the stock you have. This also allows you to keep less stock at each
location (store, warehouse), as you’re able to pull from anywhere to
fulfill orders — all of this decreases costs tied up in inventory and
decreases the amount of stock that goes unsold before it’s obsolete.
▪
Improves Cash Flow: With proper inventory management, you spend
money on inventory that sells, so cash is always moving through the
business.

Satisfies Customers: One element of developing loyal customers is
ensuring they receive the items they want without waiting.
Inventory Management Challenges
The primary challenges of inventory management are having too much
inventory and not being able to sell it, not having enough inventory to fulfill
orders, and not understanding what items you have in inventory and where
they’re located. Other obstacles include:
▪
Getting Accurate Stock Details: If you don’t have accurate stock
details, there’s no way to know when to refill stock or which stock
moves well.
▪
Poor Processes: Outdated or manual processes can make work errorprone and slow down operations.
▪
Changing Customer Demand: Customer tastes and needs change
constantly. If your system can’t track trends, how will you know when
their preferences change and why?
▪
Using Warehouse Space Well: Staff wastes time if like products are
hard to locate. Mastering inventory management can help eliminate
this challenge.
What Is Inventory?
Inventory is the raw materials, components and finished goods a company
sells or uses in production. Accounting considers inventory an asset.
Accountants use the information about stock levels to record the correct
valuations on the balance sheet.
Inventory vs. Stock
Inventory is often called stock in retail businesses: Managers frequently use
the term “stock on hand” to refer to products like apparel and housewares.
Across industries, “inventory” more broadly refers to stored sales goods and
raw materials and parts used in production.

Some people also say that the word “stock” is used more commonly in the
U.K. to refer to inventory. While there is a difference between the two, the
terms inventory and stock are often interchangeable.
What Are the Different Types of Inventory?
There are 12 different types of inventory: raw materials, work-in-progress
(WIP), finished goods, decoupling inventory, safety stock, packing materials,
cycle inventory, service inventory, transit, theoretical, excess and
maintenance, repair and operations (MRO). Some people do not recognize
MRO as a type of inventory.
