Over the past five weeks, I’ve covered five important inventory management terms that every business owner should be familiar with.

Here is a recap of the terms I’ve mentioned, which includes their definition and link to the full blog post on each of them for you to get more information:

Carrying Cost – The amount of money a company spends to keep inventory safe and stored over a certain length of time. It is also known as holding cost and inventory cost.

Batch Picking – The act of obtaining products from a warehouse to complete a group of orders made by customers.

Cycle Counting – The act of checking the number of products currently in stock in a warehouse, usually done on a daily or weekly basis.

Costing Method – The way that a final product’s total cost is calculated.

Lead Time – The length of time between when an item is ordered and when it is added to a company’s inventory.

Now that I’ve covered some basics, I’m going to delve into more complex inventory management processes that use the above terms, and many others, to help businesses be more efficient.
