Inventory management is the supervision of non-capitalized assets (inventory) and stock items. A component of supply chain management, inventory management supervises the flow of goods from manufacturers to warehouses and from these facilities to point of sale. A key function of inventory management is to keep a detailed record of each new or returned product as it enters or leaves a warehouse or point of sale. Inventory control, a similar term, is the area of inventory management that is concerned with minimizing the total cost of inventory while maximizing the ability to provide customers with product in a timely manner. In some countries the two terms are used as synonyms. See also: logistics management
