Inventory Management and Control

Why Attend

Inventory management and control is one of the most critical administrative functions in industrial, commercial, and service organizations. It ensures the availability of materials and goods in the right quantities and at the right time, while minimizing storage costs, reducing waste, and improving operational efficiency. This course aims to enable participants to apply best practices in inventory management and control to ensure the availability of materials and operational assets in appropriate quantities and at the right time. It covers the understanding of the inventory cycle (ordering, receiving, storing, issuing, and stocktaking), the application of internal control measures (segregation of duties, authorization, documentation, and issuing authority), and the management of inventory levels including reorder points, minimum and maximum stock levels, and safety stock. The program also focuses on conducting periodic and surprise stock counts, reconciling records with actual stock, analyzing discrepancies and their causes, and preparing control reports that support decision-making, reduce waste and losses, and enhance compliance, spending efficiency, and service quality.
