Inventory Management Methodologies
Effective inventory management is based on proven methodologies that help businesses
maintain the appropriate levels of products and raw materials. These methods allow for
accurate demand calculation, cost reduction, and improved operational performance.
Below are the key techniques we apply at BTechs Labs to provide a complete and reliable
approach to inventory management.
• Economic Order Quantity (EOQ)
The EOQ method calculates the ideal order quantity to minimize total purchasing and
storage costs. It is particularly useful for products with stable demand and known
ordering costs.
• Safety Stock
Safety stock protects the business from unexpected increases in demand or supplier
delays. It is calculated based on demand variability and lead time.

• Reorder Point (ROP)
The reorder point determines when a new order must be placed so inventory does not fall
below critical levels. It is often combined with safety stock for maximum reliability.
• ABC Analysis
ABC classification categorizes products based on their importance, enabling better
prioritization and targeted management. Category A items require strict control, while
category C items need less monitoring.
• Just-in-Time (JIT)
The JIT method aims to reduce inventory levels by receiving materials exactly when they
are needed. It is ideal for businesses with stable production flows and reliable
suppliers.
