INTRODUCTION

Inventory can be defined as a record of a business current assets including property owned, merchandise on hand and the value of work in progress and work complete but not sold and it is classified as a current asset because it can be turned into liquid cash within a short period of time.

Inventory has created a great impact on the profitability of the manufacturing firm which resulted to the deep research of this topic. “Impact of Inventory Control on the Performance of Manufacturing Companies in Akwa Ibom State”.

Inventory plays a major role in the operation of many businesses and manufacturing companies. In manufacturing, inventories of raw materials allow companies to operate independently of their sources of supplies.

Day to day operation are not dependent on deliveries from supplies since stock of the necessary materials are maintained and used needed.

Without inventory control, millions of naira could be lost yearly because of non accountability of stocks and inaccurate checks and balances.

The process of control and management of inventory is a very important factor in the success or failure of any business for example; little stock will result in stock out which will disrupt the production distribution cycle that is crucial to the survival of all manufacturing companies while too much stock will tie down the resources of a company.
