What Is Stock Control?

Inventory control is the management and control of various items, finished products and other resources in the entire production and operation process of the manufacturing or service industry, so as to keep their reserves at an economically reasonable level. Inventory control is a business method that uses inventory control methods to obtain higher profits. Inventory control is an important component of warehouse management. It is to control the inventory level of the enterprise on the premise of meeting customer service requirements, and strive to reduce the inventory level as much as possible and improve the efficiency of the logistics system to improve the market competitiveness of the enterprise.

Inventory control

When it comes to so-called "inventory control", many people understand it as "

Expert investigation found that the general approach of enterprises is:

According to the law of supply and demand, determine the management of economic and reasonable material storage during production and distribution. Inventory management should play a buffering role, make logistics balanced and smooth, not only ensure normal production and supply, but also reasonably reduce inventory funds to obtain better economic results.

In 1915, F.W. Harris of the United States published

1. Reduce costs and increase working capital

Inventories take up cash and make expenses soar. When formulating the income statement, do not list the cash occupied by inventory as savings-the highest management department will immediately collect the cash back to the company and it should be directly recorded as "frozen cash".

2. Improve product quality

Production of fewer products at a time is more conducive to focusing on quality issues. When the inventory of work in process decreases with the improvement of product flow, quality issues must receive more attention, quality information feedback must be more timely, problem solving must receive more attention, and the feedback of receiving information must be more timely and resolved. Quality issues must be stronger, so product quality must be improved.

3. Reduce production cycle

The production cycle is the time elapsed from the beginning to the end of a production process. This process can be defined by you, for example, it can consist of several assembly operations, or it can be a product line from beginning to end. As the production cycle is shortened, products wait less in the queue, mass production is reduced, and the production process is smoother, so the work in process inventory will be reduced accordingly.

In the course of dealing with business, sales staff must master the knowledge and skills of inventory management. There are two aspects of inventory management, one is the 1.5 times principle, and the other is inventory turnover, which are explained separately below.

1.5 times principle

The 1.5 times principle is one of the main contents of inventory management. It is the principle of safe inventory summarized by the sales practices of many companies. The specific data is based on the sales of previous customers. 1.5 times the principle of stocking is a must for sales staff

main problem

Information issues, supply chain operation issues, supply chain strategy and planning issues.
