Supply chains are constantly faced with challenging and evolving
consumer demands. To remain competitive in the market, all partners along the
supply chain are responsible for value-adding activities. Warehousing and
inventory management are significant components of a supply chain, irrespective
of how short or long, and have the propensity either to elevate operations or
render them redundant. Business

inventory management that are necessary for the successful operation of a
supply chain in the contemporary business environment.
Business warehouse and inventory management begins with Part A, contextualising supply
chain management and warehouse management. Part B focuses on various key
components of inventory management and, finally, Part C investigates integrated
warehousing and inventory risk management supported with outlining future
