Abilities of learning, thinking, problem solving, teamwork, communication, debating and defending are addressed by the system wide curricular practices at the institute. Module Objectives This module aims to help students develop a fundamental understanding of the various aspects of inventory management. By the end of the module, students should be able to: 1. Describe the importance and strategic role of inventory and inventory management in companies that manufacture, distribute, store, move and sell products to its customers. Define the appropriate inventory control methods to be used for independentdemand items, dependentdemand items and perishables respectively 3. Describe the various inventory control practices such as VendorManagedInventory (VMI) and Kanban system in the industry.
