According to Jonah, the excess manpower is the only reason for excess inventory, and only with the reduction of capacities but without trimming inventory and improving market performance, the manufacturers will suffer from higher inventory cost and volume and downward throughput rates. In addition, a widely recognized misconception, revealed by Jonah, is that the manufacturers should control their capacities to approach market demands. However, this is not necessarily true in dynamic market. When the capacities are reduced, the sales prices go up with the increase of unit cost of production, and therefore the market demand shrinks and inventory skyrockets. In Jonah’s opinions, the optimized methods of reducing inventory are efficient marketization and effective control of manpower in terms of the number of employees and their working

I believe in some industries inventories will not be needed in the future, such as in the music industry and also the film industry, with the likes of Netflix and Hulu Plus coming in to dominance.

For the like of manufactures whom need raw material inventory to create and assemble their products, in which retailers and distributors then purchase as inventory to sell on.

Warehouse receipt based financing is a kind of inventory financing, wherein loans are given to manufacturers and processors (borrower), by way of pledge of warehouse receipt i.e. against commodities held as collateral. The borrower (eg: farmer) deposits a certain amount of goods into a warehouse deposit and regulatory authority (WDRA) accredited warehouse in exchange for a warehouse receipt which has all the necessary details like quality and quantity of the produce. The warehouse receipt can then be transferred to a bank, which provides a loan equivalent to a certain percentage, generally up to 70-75 per cent of the value of the collateral with the warehouse. At maturity, the borrower sells the commodity to a buyer who then either pays the bank directly or pays the borrower who then repays the bank. On receipt of the funds or an acceptable payment instrument, the bank surrenders the warehouse receipt to either the buyer or the seller (depending on the specifics of the transaction), who then submits the warehouse receipt to the warehouse, which releases the commodity. In case of default on the loan, the bank can use the warehouse receipts in its possession to take delivery of and sell the

Small in the case of Wal-Mart 's success in the USA, like the warehouse at low prices, "people want to do more of what 'was offering. Clark compared to their attention by the retail trade, cost accounting, inventory management and distribution systems, however, (2000), the warehouse were similar to Wal-Mart 's core competencies.
According to Srinidhi and Tayi (2004), companies that are flexible enough and are able to change from a JIT system to a traditional inventory system will have a competitive advantage over other firms who do not switch. In such uncontrollable environments, the major benefit of JIT becomes a handicap with the increase in delivery times and the added data handling and coordination required in such times. This leads to a decrease in quick response time, which ultimately leads to increase in costs to the firm.
In addition, at the time, the economy was doing great, therefore, using the push system to stock pile inventory was acceptable. However, during the dot-com bust of the 2000’s, its sales and the demand for its products greatly decreased. Unfortunately, during this time, Cisco discovered that it possessed an abundance of inventory, and, wrote off more than $1 billion in inventory. Consequently, the company learned that acquiring inventory in anticipation of market demand, and not factoring in the human element of its business increased its risks of failure. Obviously, Cisco wanted to meet its customer’s demands, however, the problem was that it held more inventory than what the customers were demanding. Nevertheless, afterwards, it knew that it needed to adopt a new, more efficient approach to inventory. Therefore, Cisco had to reevaluate its supply chain system and seek input from IT, customers, suppliers, and finance. Further, by including input from these sources, Cisco adopted the more efficient pull system. The pull system, is dependent upon producing smaller repeating orders. Rather than the push system, which relies on larger less repeating orders. Effective inventory management, when administered correctly, can reduce and keep the inventory to a more desired level. In addition, Cisco discovered that inventory management can reduce inventory levels, enhance cash flow and reduce overall
