DEFINITION of 'Inventory Management'. Inventory management is the overseeing and controlling of the ordering, storage and use of components that a company will use in the production of the items it will sell as well as the overseeing and controlling of quantities of finished products for sale.REAKING DOWN 'Inventory Management'.

Retail Accounting vs. Cost Accounting. Inventory management is an important aspect of every retail business. To maximize profits, companies need the right amount of inventory items at all times. Inventory count determines both inventory shortages and the amount of inventory on hand at any time. In accounting, a business must establish the cost basis of this inventory. Cost accounting is a more conservative inventory valuation method that values inventory based on its cost. Retail accounting, on the other hand, values inventory based on items' retail price.
