Inventory Management
“Inventory exists at every stage of the supply chain as raw materials, semi-finished or finished goods. They can also be in process between different locations. Holding of inventories can cost a company about 25% to 40% of their value. Lost sales and customer dissatisfaction can occur as the cause of inventory; therefore efficient inventory management is very important in supply chain operation and it helps the firm to maintain competitive advantage (Stock and Lambert, 2001;
Axsäter, 2006). In this area only large scale multi-national companies have set a number of strategies to ensure that costs arising from inventory are minimized. Such strategies include; setting up optimal and minimum of raw and finished products, employment of first in-first out
(FIFO) policy, minimum stock reorder for each item and periodic stock evaluation. One of the respondents from the brewing industry reported to incur inventory cost of about 2 to 3 % of their value i.e. from rental, interest foregone, obsolescence/damage/expire, insurance, handling, security and stock valuation.
On the other hand, most of the processors payless attention on inventories available at their downstream partners’ (wholesalers and retailers) stores. Processors’ productions are based on produce-to-stock strategy to avoid dissatisfaction of customers if the demand turns
In the Fixed-Order Quantity Model (Q-Model), every time that the stocks reach a specific level an order is placed. Q-Model requests a constant monitoring in inventory levels. The risk of stock out only occurs during the lead time, thus the safety stock is less than in P-Model for the same service level. Reorders are placed when stocks reach (R), and the safety stock that must be reordered is:
J&J’s supply chain has transformed from a decentralized approach with so little visibility to a globally aligned organization. Standardizing the most important things such as quality system, operational improvement methodologies, procurement, etc. has given J&J a competitive advantage. Moreover, J&J relies on the data provided at Internet of Things (IoT). The company is heavily involved with IoT in order to monitor their operations and to achieve a better coordination between suppliers and customers. (Chatterjee, 2017)
Riordan Manufacturing is a United States industrial manufacturing firm that specialized in the production of electric fans. Using its manufacturing plant in Hangzhou, China as the main site of production for its fan motors, Riordan relies heavily on its production rate and shipping schedule in order to complete assembly, distribution, marketing and sale of its fans in America. This dependency has created a bottleneck as a result of high levels of late delivery. This supply-chain challenge drives the discussion hereafter.

In today’s rapidly changing business environment, ever-greater demands are being placed on business on every industry, such as to provide products and services quicker, with greater added value, to the correct location, with no relevant inventory position, etc. However, customers are more sophisticated by wanting more quality, design, innovation, choice, convenience and service, and they want to spend less money, effort, time and risk. Hence, every business has to deal with highly competitive situation in order to survive; Supply Chain Management (SCM) becoming the main topic for improving efficiency and satisfy customer’s need.
With global operations, becoming more complex, companies in manufacturing, retail and technology and the consulting firms that service them, they are scrambling to hire people with Supply Chain expertise, but these experts are hard to come by. Supply Chain Management has moved from a "necessary evil" to a "core competency" at companies across industries.

Inventory carrying cost calculations have been documented in literature since the 1960s when Magee explained inventory carrying cost as costs which are related to the inventory levels of a distribution firm(Magee, 1960). Magee estimated these costs to be 25% to 35% per year of the capital value of inventory depending on the inventory policies of the company and their financial resources. What Magee understood was that there was no blanket answer to the question of how much inventory carrying costs impacted any one particular company because each company offered unique circumstances that would impact the final determination of this cost. Business managers since have been challenged with this self-discovery process of uncovering these costs and applying them to their business operations.
Inventory systems are something in which practically every business needs to properly function. From the small business of just a few employees to the large corporations, inventory systems are a vital part of a business 's success. The types of inventory systems will vary with the number of businesses that use these different kinds of systems. Team C will present findings on the research of various businesses and how those businesses use inventory systems that pertain to a specific industry. The organizations of research include companies, such as Infigen Energy, T-mobile, Wal-mart (RIM - Retail Inventory Method), Weis
