INTRODUCTION  

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

1.4  STATEMENT OF HYPOTHESIS

A (Ho) poor inventory management is s a result of inadequate stock control facilities.

(Hoi) storage does not limit the size of the inventory held by the small-scale firms.

C     (Ho) proper classification of stock is a major or determinant of efficient inventory control

       (Hi) proper classification of stock is not a major determinant of efficient inventory control.

D     (Hi) poor inventory management  results to either overstocking or understocking problem.

       (Hi) poor inventory management is not a result of inadequate stock control facilities.

1.5  LIMITATION AND DELIMITATION OF THE STUDY

To say there was to limitation during this the research will be an understanding as the research focuses on inventory control. Apart from the limitation is inadequate information some data were given as expected within others were given as all they were classified as given companies secrets.

However, due to financial constraints and time factors, the researcher has decided to further limit the study to the inventory control system. The research was able to collect information.
