Learn how to analyze inventory control systems, apply EOQ models, and use MIS tools such as Excel to optimize inventory decisions and improve operational efficiency. This course provides practical skills in inventory management, stock analysis, procurement planning, and quantitative inventory techniques used in modern business operations.
The course begins with the foundations of inventory management, introducing the importance of maintaining optimal stock levels and addressing common inventory challenges faced by organizations. Learners will explore inventory prioritization methods such as Pareto analysis to improve efficiency and support better decision-making.
As the course progresses, learners examine advanced inventory techniques including lifecycle management of slow-moving and non-moving inventory items, procurement strategies, and methods for reducing stock-related operational issues.
The course also focuses on quantitative inventory models such as Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) and reorder level calculations. Learners will use Excel-based MIS tools and analytical techniques to optimize ordering decisions, reduce holding and ordering costs, and improve stock availability.
What makes this course unique is its integrated approach combining inventory management concepts, analytical frameworks, and practical Excel-based applications into one structured learning experience. By the end of the course, learners will be able to confidently apply inventory control techniques, optimize procurement decisions, and improve operational performance in supply chain and business environments.

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
