Meig’s et al (1998) defines inventory as the aggregate of those items of tangible personal property which are held for sale in the ordinary course of business, and in process of production of goods and services to be available for sale. Hone (1988) defines inventories
as those resources that help in forming the link between the production and sales of a product. The Webbstor’s Third Dictionary defines stock as money on property servicing as capital stock alone, cannot produce a desire good rather it has relationship to the financial with the financial planning.An efficient and effective inventory planning and control as the name implies is an alternative term for stock control, common in the U.S.A and some public authorities for the quantities of stock and or its value held by the authority (Compton and Jessip, 1995). The management of inventory is thus an attempt to match supply and demand at a particular time and so forms part of a capacity management strategy. A number of approaches have been developed towards the management of inventory including MRPI and MRP II.
Inventory management is defined by slack (1995) as the stored accumulation of materials resources in a transportation system.

According to slack (1995) all organizations will carry some inventory or stock of goods at any one time. This can range from items such as stationery to machinery parts and raw materials. The main focus of inventory management is usually on resources that one being transported, e.g raw materials, purchased components or customers in a service operation. Usually, the type of inventory management system employed by an organization is determined by the nature of its demand for goods services.

1.8 LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

Inventory control and planning like other managerial functions has its peculiar problems. It could be internal or external. The external problems can originate when the management fails to understand the roles inventory planning play in the ministry. If the work of the store manager is specified, there would be improvement in the store department, but if otherwise is the case, it then means that the job of the store keeper may be shifted to another department. This may lead to mismanagement due to inadequate knowledge pf both quantity and quality.

While the internal problems may appear inform of customer attitude to product produced by the ministry. Quantity control is based on customers demand for example, the quantity demanded in a week will determine if the store keeper will order for more materials with the hope that more product will be demanded by the upper week and where such is not ordered as expected, it will lead to overstocking of materials items which may determine before they are used. This may eventually lead to lose of profit. It is been regarded as the limitation to inventory control management.
