Manufacturing Inventory Management is the practice of carefully tracking, controlling, and accounting for all parts and materials involved in a manufacturing process. It is an essential part of operations management – ensuring that a business has enough resources to complete orders without incurring costly delays. By effectively managing a company’s inventory, manufacturers can identify potential sources of problems and inefficiencies quickly, allowing them to restock items more effectively and reduce production costs. Ultimately, effective inventory management means less time wasted on manual data entry and more time for producing higher-quality products.
