Abstract

Royal Little, in his heyday at Textron, used to tell people that managing inventory is “working where the money is.” This statement emphasizes the truth that inventory ties up much of the capital and is the origin of many of the costs of any manufacturing business. The cash needs of the company are highly dependent on how well inventory is managed.
