What is inventory controlling?
Inventory controlling is part of materials management and offers extensive analysis functions for monitoring, evaluating and adjusting stock levels in the warehouse.
A distinction is made between three different types of stock:
- The actual stock level
- The physically available stock
- The book inventory
Inventory controlling is about streamlining the warehouse in order to maintain an overview in an increasingly crowded market. The aim is to achieve a possible improvement in stocks and throughput times.
