Introduction

Inventory and logistics control are crucial in the operations of a modern business, as inventory represents a significant asset. However, inventory carrying is not risk-free, subsequently influencing the total cost of inventory ownership. For instance, when items are held in a warehouse, there is an inherent risk of these items losing value over time.

If a firm stores parts for work centers or machinery, these parts might depreciate compared to the original purchasing price. Losses due to excess, obsolescence, or inventory mismanagement directly erode company equity.
