A Model of Inventory Management in Commercial Activity

Poslovno okolje se hitro spreminja, tako da je vse spremembe, včasih že težko dohajati. Vsako podjetje nabavlja, uporablja, pretvarja, distribuira in prodaja poslovne učinke. Za nekatere je to material, ki ga pretvarjajo v poslovnem procesu v polproizvode ali gotove proizvode, za druge pa je to trgovinsko blago, ki ga s procesom distribucije dostavijo v maloprodajno mrežo, drugi spet to trgovinsko blago prodajo končnim kupcem. Ne glede na to ali je podjetje proizvodnega ali trgovinskega tipa, se srečuje z zalogami. Vpliv zalog na poslovanje katerega koli podjetja je izredno velik. V proizvodnem podjetju lahko zaradi napačnega planiranja zalog prihaja do zastojev v proizvodnem procesu. V trgovinskem podjetju je možna izguba potencialnega kupca na račun prenizkih zalog in s tem nižji prihodki od prodaje, druga skrajnost pa so previsoke zaloge, ki pomenijo sredstva, vezana v zalogah brez donosa. Upravljanje zalog se zaradi procesa globalizacije, razvoja informacijske tehnologije in posodabljanja tehnoloških procesov nenehno spreminja.Business environment changes so quickly that it is sometimes hard to catch up with all the changes.

Every company, production or commercial, has to deal with stocks. The impact of stock on the company’s business is enormous. In production companies, wrong planning can lead to a deadlock in production process. In commercial companies, one can lose a potential customer and have a lower income because of low stockthe other extreme is excessive stock, which means resources, tied to stock without profit. Due to the process of globalization, development of information technology and modernisation of technological processes, inventory management is constantly changing
