Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/inventory-management

Inventory management is the broader discipline of overseeing the flow of goods from manufacturers or suppliers to warehouses and ultimately to points of sale, encompassing forecasting, ordering, storage, and tracking. It aims to balance having enough stock to meet customer demand against the costs of holding excess inventory. Supply chain managers, retail buyers, and operations professionals use inventory management principles and software to optimize efficiency and profitability.
