The process of procuring, maintaining, utilizing, and distributing a company's inventory is referred to as inventory management. This comprises the storage and processing of raw materials, components, and finished goods and the administration of raw materials, components, and final products. Balancing the hazards of inventory gluts and shortages is especially difficult for organizations with complicated supply chains and manufacturing processes. To achieve these balances (MRP), firms have developed many inventory management strategies, including just-in-time (JIT) and materials requirement planning, to achieve these balances (MRP). Because a corporation typically wants to sell its finished goods within a short time, typically a year, inventory represents a current asset. Before inventory can be included in a balance sheet, it must be physically counted or measured.
