Stockholding and Logistics

Stockholding and logistics are fundamental aspects of supply chain management that ensure the efficient flow of goods from manufacturers to end-users. Stockholding, or inventory management, involves maintaining adequate levels of products to meet demand without incurring excessive storage costs. Effective stockholding balances the need for product availability with the cost implications of holding inventory.
