What does an Inventory Manager do?
Inventory Management is used to determine what is present in our hand (that is the product which is available with us),where we are going to use it and what is the outcome of finished product.
Inventory management is basically used to monitor the constant flow of products in and out of current (or existing) inventory. This is done in such a way that the units which are being transferred are controlled so that they don’t reach to high level or dwindling condition where the company won’t be able to handle their demand.
Competent Inventory Management also manages cost which is associated with the inventory. It means controlling of cost which is associated with total good included in the inventory as well as tax burden which is generated on the total goods of the inventory.
To balance the various task of an inventory one need to keep in mind the three major aspects of inventory.
First aspect deals with time
This identifies how much time is taken by the supplier to prepare the order and execute its delivery to buyer.
Second Aspect deals with the time needed to transfer the goods out of inventory.
This identifies how much time is needed to transfer the products/goods prepared by the supplier out of the inventory
These two aspects identify two important aspect of a company, It helps to determine when the order must be made and how much time will it take to execute the production and delivery of that product.
Third aspect is Calculating Buffer Stock.
Buffer Stock is the additional amount of unit above or beyond the minimum number required for production to maintain production level of a company.
