Improper inventory control leads to stock shortages, excess storage cost, delayed delivery, and customer dissatisfaction.
This study examines the importance of inventory management practices in logistics organizations and analyzes how inventory control systems improve operational performance. The research focuses on inventory planning, warehouse management, stock monitoring, demand forecasting, transportation coordination, and technology adoption in logistics operations.
The study adopts a descriptive research design using primary and secondary data. Data were collected through questionnaires from employees working in logistics and warehouse departments. Statistical tools such as percentage analysis, charts, and interpretation methods were used to analyze the collected data.
The findings reveal that effective inventory control significantly improves order fulfillment, reduces inventory carrying costs, minimizes wastage, and enhances customer satisfaction. The study also highlights the importance of automation technologies such as barcode systems, RFID, ERP systems, and warehouse management software in improving logistics efficiency.
The research concludes that inventory management is a critical success factor in the logistics industry and recommends the adoption of modern inventory techniques and digital technologies for better organizational performance.
