    What is inventory control? The term is pretty general but I think of it this way;
    When was the last time you were SURE you had a bottle of sauce in the fridge but couldn't find it. So you go to the store, buy one to have on hand. When you go to put it away, BAM there is the first bottle you were looking for. Inventory control is about record keeping and maintenance of those records. If that means you count everything in the fridge, well there you go. When you get home form the store you record what you bought. When you use it up you subtract it. Recording seems simple so that's mostly done by the person that drinks out of the milk carton and puts it back empty. Maintenance is done by the person that needs the milk for a recipe they're making for dinner. Or in the business world, inventory control.
    If you think businesses are organized and have everything figured out, think again. They are run by people who are normal and computer software can't fix normal.

    so what it inventory control?
    Well: it is easy and self explanatory. inventory means inventory. and control duh.
    therefore you have to control the inventory to ensure it is controlled during all times otherwise it wont be controlled.
    Honestly: I learned what it means from the public comments below (Mr. hanksgavin) thanks for the REAL explanation and thank you for coming to this video and same as I waste our times only I benefited from your comment dude - well done!

    A building material shop owner in Gujarat is going through the last years inventory cost of cement sacks, a sack of cement cost 500rs. The average monthly demand last year was 1250 units, the cost per order, including the transporter was 1200 Rs and annual holding cost was 20% of material cost. Last year he ordered the lots of 500 sacks per order. What the total inventory cost last year? can you explain?
