Inventory is a central asset for a company and represents the investment that is involved from the manufacturing to the sale of the product. Mishandling of inventory can lead to significant financial problems and result in either inventory glut or inventory shortage. An inventory control system is the set of guidelines and controls that monitors levels of inventory and regulates what levels should be maintained, when stock should be restocked, and what should be the economic order quantity.
