INTRODUCTION TO INVENTORY:
Inventory in wider sense, is defined as any idle resource of an enterprise It is a
p!ysical stoc" of #oods "ept dept for t!e purpose of future affairs T!e ter$ is #enerally
used to indicate raw $aterials in process, finis!ed products, pac"in#, spares and ot!ers %
stoc"ed in order to $eet e&pected de$and or distri'ution in t!e future T!ou#! inventory of
$aterials is an idle resource %it is not $eant for i$$ediate use % it is al$ost essential to
$aintain so$e inventories for t!e s$oot! functionin# of an enterprise
or e&a$ple, let us consider an enterprise t!at !as no inventory of $aterials at all
!en t!is enterprise receives a sales order, it will !ave to order out t!e raw $aterial
re0uired to co$plete t!e order, wait till t!ese arrive and t!en start production T!is would
"eep t!e custo$ers invaria'ly to wait too lon# for t!e delivery of t!e #oods ordered

Definition of inventory management:-
Inventory is a list for #oods and $aterials, or t!ose #oods and $aterials
