Original Description

By the end of this course, learners will be able to identify the fundamentals of inventory management, calculate and apply Economic Order Quantity (EOQ), classify items using ABC Analysis, evaluate procurement processes, and compare valuation methods such as FIFO, LIFO, and Average Cost. The course equips participants with practical tools to maintain optimal stock levels, minimize costs, and improve operational efficiency. This course benefits professionals, students, and entrepreneurs by linking theoretical concepts with real-world applications—helping them make informed decisions about ordering, safety stock, supplier evaluation, and Just-In-Time (JIT) practices. Unlike basic introductions, this course uniquely combines stock level controls, EOQ models, and valuation techniques into one structured program. Learners gain a holistic understanding of how inventory impacts cost efficiency, financial reporting, and supply chain performance. With structured modules, practice quizzes, and graded assessments, this course ensures that participants not only understand concepts but also build the analytical skills needed for effective inventory control.
