An effective inventory management system starts with analysis and design. The more thorough the analysis and the more care you take in developing the design, the fewer problems you’ll have running and managing a new inventory system. Before getting started, it can be helpful to review common problems of an inventory design. Keeping these in mind as you go about developing your system can help you create an inventory system that functions as it should from the start.
