Introduction

Inventories originated with the Egyptians and other ancient peoples, who used to protect large quantities of food and supplies to be consumed and used in times of drought or calamity. This is how inventories arose, as a way to cope with periods of scarcity and with the clear knowledge of how much merchandise they had stored. In this way it would allow to assure the subsistence of the organizations in time and the development of their operative activities in an objective and correct way.

On the other hand, the inventory turnover is the way to see the assets in a tangible and perceptible way, in many occasions it is not an easy task, but it is not difficult either and although it can be a tedious exercise, it is a fundamental part in the development of the companies, the inventories represent a very large percentage of the investment on the working capital of the companies regardless of their size.

Therefore, an optimal management of inventory turnover will contribute to achieve better results in the closing of the accounting, economic and administrative cycle of companies with benefits in profits and would be maximizing the use of the organization's resources. On the contrary, if a good inventory management is not carried out, storage costs may increase and the capital required for the development of the organization's operations will increase, which will manifest itself in the future in a loss of value.

Conclusion:

We can emphasize that effective inventory management, regardless of the size of the organization or company, is essential for rapid growt.

Maintaining an effective rotation of merchandise inventories in stop will bring with it the availability of merchandise in good condition for sale.

The inventory lets you know how much product liability you have and what that means in the legal tender currency according to where the company is located, being able to create marketing strategies for products with little movement. The rotation of these products prevents those with expiration dates from turning into losses, which could be a catastrophe for companies that sell mass consumption products. @tipu curate 2
