ABSTRACT:
The Inventory Management System is a real-time inventory database capable of connecting
multiple stores. This can be used to track the inventory of a single store or to manage the
delivery of stock between several branches of a larger franchise. However, the system merely
records sales and restocking data and rovides warning of low stock at any location through
email at a specified interval.
The goal is to reduce the stress of tracking rather than to holder all store maintenance. Further
features may consist of the ability to create reports of sales, but again the explanation is left to
the management. In addition, since theft does occasionally occur, the system provides solutions
for confirming the store inventory and for correcting stock quantities.
1. INTRODUCTION
Inventory management refers to the process of ordering, storing, using, and selling a company's
inventory.
This includes the management of raw materials, components, and finished products, as well as
warehousing and processing of such items.
There are different types of inventory management, each with its pros and cons, depending on a
company’s needs.
Lack of visibility is one of the most common inventory management problems. Locating the
correct item in the right place as quickly as possible is essential to inventory.
If the hard to find inventory is part of the supply chain for manufacturing, it can impact the
operations of the entire manufacturing process

6. METHODOLOGY
ABC Analysis:
This method works by identifying the most and least popular types of stock.
Batch Tracking:
This method groups similar items to track expiration dates and trace defective items.
Bulk Shipments:
This method considers unpacked materials that suppliers load directly into ships or trucks. It
involves buying, storing and shipping inventory in bulk.
Drop shipping:
In this practice, the supplier ships items directly from its warehouse to the customer.
FIFO and LIFO:
First in, first-out (FIFO) means you move the oldest stock first. Last in, first-out (LIFO) considers
that prices always rise, so the most recently-purchased inventory is the most expensive and thus
sold first.

9.CONCLUSION
In conclusion, inventory management is a critical process for any business to help ensure that it
has the right amount of inventory at the right time.
