Abstract
Any company aims to achieve its objectives. Defining and achieving
these objectives
are missions that require considerable efforts by this company.
Reaching the main goal in an industrial or wholesale business is depending on how
the company is managing its supply chain as a whole which requires a total control on
the activities and the usual missions such as inventory control which is an important
and critical part in supply chain and logistics. In order to assure a good inventory
management, the company has to follow a bunch of procedures and techniques that
have to be chosen according to its situation, and to strive for improving it as much as
it can to maximize the profit.
For this reason, our research topic aims to investigate ABC’s inventory management
system and try to find a way of improvement.
After various observation and interactions with ABC staff, and with the use of
different documents, we will offer a number of recommendations that will allow the
improvement of ABC’s inventory management and thus its logistic’ performance
which will positively affect its profitability
