    Course Introduction

    At first glance stock management may seem like a simple exercise.  However, having too little or too much stock on hand may have an impact on the company’s overall profitability in ways that are not immediately obvious.  How fixed are fixed assets?  How stocked should you be?   Fixed assets can become burdensome when newer technologies require that they be replaced.  Certain stock items may not have sufficient shelf life.  It is also important to understand the difference between stock and the fixed assets of the business and how both should be managed so as to ensure that they are fresh enough on the shelves to positively impact the business.
