Workshop on Managing Inventory in Supply Chain
25 - 30 March 2012, the Netherlands
Inventory Management is one of the most important aspects of pharmaceutical supply chain management. Without proper inventory control, you will be unable to ascertain that there are sufficient supplies on hand to handle needs.
Inventory Management is more than just ensuring that goods are readily available, it actually involves making sure that there is sufficient stock in place to meet demand until the company can renew it - for most businesses, that means being able to hold out until the supplier sends another shipment.
Inventory management is a very simple concept: don't have too much stock and don't have too little. Although the concept is simple, the process of getting the right balance can be quite complex.
