inventorykezelés

Inventory management, or inventorykezelés in Dutch, refers to the systematic control of materials and goods within a business. This encompasses the entire lifecycle of an item, from its purchase or production to its sale or consumption. Effective inventory management aims to balance the costs associated with holding inventory against the risks of stockouts. Key activities include tracking inventory levels, forecasting demand, ordering and receiving goods, storing inventory safely and efficiently, and managing the valuation of inventory. The primary goals are to ensure that the right products are available in the right quantities at the right time, while minimizing holding costs, obsolescence, and spoilage. Different industries employ various methods and technologies, such as just-in-time (JIT) systems, ABC analysis, and sophisticated inventory management software, to achieve these objectives. Ultimately, robust inventory management is crucial for operational efficiency, customer satisfaction, and overall profitability.
