LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 INTRODUCTION

This chapter is primarily concerned with the review of some related to studies of necessary management. The Chapter makes use of necessary test and system use in dealing with inventory theory and  concepts.

2.2 INVENTORY DEFINED

Shore [1978] defines inventory as an idle resources of many kind that has potential economic value.

Bufta [1963] traces the genesis of inventory management from the early 1990s. He claimed that the current emphasis in management science probability systems. He recalled that in 1915; F. W Herics developed the first economics lot size equation, which marked the beginning of the use mathematic models to represent management sciences.  Again 1931, F. E. Raymond developed the idea of further and attempting to account for a variety of conditions.

In the post, war period as Buffa [1963] said that analysis of inventory and production control systems part because of the great interest shown by such progressive companies as the Eastman Kodok Company.  The proctor and gramble company, Johnson and many others.

Another author monks [1977] simply puts his own definition of inventory as an idle resources that possess economic value.It is important to note that these two definitions can note the same meaning William 1948] is of the opinion that inventory are also store of good and stocks.  According to Francis [1988], a firm inventory can be described as totality of stock of various kinds Lewis [1981] also defined inventory control as the science based on controlling amount of stock held in various forms within a business to meet economically the demand placed open the business.

Lewis [1981] further observed that inventory control is usually associated with manufacturing industry.  But may do occur in other organizations such as demand service, transport undertaking, hospital and so on.

Loomba [1976] refers to inventory as many resources, physical, financial or human that has value because it can further satisfy a future need

Kothori [1994] saw inventory as the physical stock of goods which remain idle in a store but is essential for smooth sailing of the company.

Mark [1997] also stated that inventories are one of the modes assets of most firms, varying from 25 percent of their current asset depending on the firm, and type of industry.

Any inventory system requires are the collection and processing of large quantity of data, in their pro –computer days.  The cost of data collection and processing was quite high consequently; these inventories were relatively simple starting in the 1950s according to sherra [1973], computer brought down the cost of handing data.

Pandly[1988] briefly stated that the main objective in holding raw material inventory is to separate purchase and production activities and in holding finished goods.

Inventory is to separate production and sales activities.

  Nevertheless it is believed that as long as we continue to have operation researchers with emphasis on inventory managements, there will be no shortage of supple of definition control system.
