• Inventory remains an important part of our manufacturing, distribution, and retail infrastructure.

• And yet, no one wants to talk much about it.

• Managing this critical resource starts with creating and maintaining accurate inventory records.

• But inventory and inventory record accuracy are not subjects that demand profound reflection in our business.

• However, when this investment goes afoul, it is often the subject of board meetings, executive councils, financial crises, and marketing strategy meetings.

• It seems inventory and inventory record accuracy only become important when they aren’t working properly, much like our critical bodily functions

• Too many times, we have visited companies that didn’t understand the purpose of inventory or how to track it.

• It was simply something that was “out there” in manufacturing, distribution, and in the stores—a necessary evil.

• But the fact remains that manufacturing must have inventory, distribution must have inventory, and retailing must have inventory.

• The notion of zero inventory will never be achieved as long as products are made, distributed, and sold.

• Even in the best cases of lean manufacturing, some inventory exists in the manufacturing conversion process; it must be tracked one way or another.

• Thus, inventory in manufacturing, distribution, and retailing is as necessary an evil as money.

• That is, you must have it to do business. More isn’t always better, nor is less.

• However, knowing how much you have and need to operate your business is always better.

• Knowing what you have is what this book is all about. It is as basic to business as marketing, sales, manufacturing, purchasing, and accounting.

• Doing it right is a joy. Doing it wrong is unacceptable
