Abstract

The purpose of this study is to carry out research to analyse factors involved in inventory control decision process and its implementation for company’s growth. The research is to be carried out through secondary data available in the perspective of the topic. The research centered on the concepts of inventory control decision-making process, and a detailed reports of different businesses implications of inventory control decision making process and its influence in company’s growth and survivals in competitive environment. The theoretical details of the research assess some examples of some companies that have successfully achieved inventory control, which leads to minimum cost implications for holding inventory.
