In logistics warehousing, goods are very important things. Logistics warehousing can help customers store goods. So how is inventory classified in logistics warehousing?

One: Classification according to the role of inventory

1. Turnover inventory refers to the inventory reserved to meet the needs of daily production and operation. The size of turnover inventory is directly related to the purchase batch. Some enterprises need to purchase and produce in batches in order to reduce some logistics costs. A periodic turnover inventory is formed, but this inventory will be consumed with consumption, and it needs to be replenished when it drops to a certain level.

2. Safety stock

This type refers to the inventory set to prevent some uncertain factors from occurring. There is a certain relationship between the size of the safety stock and the inventory safety factor or the service level of the inventory.

3. Adjust inventory

This refers to the inventory set up to adjust the imbalance of demand and supply, the imbalance of production speed and supply, and the imbalance generated by each production stage.

4. In-transit inventory

It refers to the inventory that is transported and parked between two adjacent places. The size of the inventory in transit depends on the transportation time and the average demand during the period.
