Problem

Let's put it all together.....

We started the term looking at inventory management methods (Min/max, order point, etc). We then turned to forecasting, just-in-time and other techniques. We looked at perishable and seasonal inventory and the peculiar requirements of those and last week we looked at some companies.

You have just been appointed the inventory manager for your company (it's OK to use a hypothetical company here). The boss says you can do whatever you want, he doesn't care how you manage the inventory as long as you don't run out, don't disappoint customers and don't bankrupt him.

What do you do....and why?

1. 6 pages, grammar and spelling matter, so be careful.

2. Proper citations of references. APA format is expected.

3. Graphs and charts are required to support your arguments.

4. After you complete your writing, provide a brief executive summary at the beginning of the paper, which gives the reader the key points that will be analyzed, defined or explained in the paper.
