Costing and Inventory Management Strategies - A lot of you likely have some type of inventory, and the answers to these questions are likely as diverse as the group of companies that could benefit from attending this presentation.
How do you track your inventory?
Do you store/organize your inventory for maximum efficiency in the production and shipping processes?
Do you know how much it costs to make your product?
Are you capturing all the costs of moving, storing, and tracking your inventory?
How do you track your work-in-process, if you can track it at all?
Carlin Culbertson of Meaden & Moore will cover various topics including the below that help you answer some of the questions posed above:
Tracking inventory quantities – physical inventories and cycle counts.
Assigning overhead costs to inventory.
Just in time inventory.
Technology to assist with inventory management.
Consignment inventory considerations.
Including purchasing and sales in inventory management discussions.
Perpetual inventory systems and their benefits.
Inventory control procedures.
If you have inventory then you know that sometimes it can be difficult to manage it. Sometimes you may perform a physical count and realize you have significantly more or less of a product than you originally thought and wonder “how did that happen?” Maybe you don’t have enough for your next round of shipments and you need to expedite the delivery of raw materials and rush the order through your shop, possibly resulting in defects, late delivery, or other items. Or perhaps you have significant sales of an item but can never seem to turn a profit on it.
Please join us on April 29th for this informative discussion and the opportunity to share similar issues or successes you’ve had in dealing with these challenges.
Presenter: Carlin Culbertson of Meaden & Moore.
