The various types of inventories are:  

Raw materials: Raw materials, required for production of finished products are one of the basic components of inventory for a manufacture. Shortage of raw materials can cause production stoppage or change in production Schedule which in turn may result in a shortage of finished goods. Thus sufficient quantities of raw materials need to be stored to cope with uncertain situations. However, where shortage of raw materials can disrupt normal manufacturing operations, excessive inventories can increase inventory carrying costs and reduce profitability.

Finished Goods: Finished goods are another important part of inventories, especially for the wholesalers and manufacturers. While holding finished goods inventory, it is important to have a adequate and not excess stock of inventories as they may incur cost as well as loss if the excess inventory is not sold out in time.

W.I.P.: Work In Progress (W.I.P.) inventory is often maintained between manufacturing operations within a plant to avoid production hold ups in case a critical machine or equipment were to breakdown and also to equalize production flow, since not all manufacturing units produce at the same rate.

Spare parts: Spare part inventories are mainly held for purpose of coping up with untimely breakdowns in machinery and facilities. This may form a minor part of the inventory, however are as necessary as holding raw materials inventory.
