Yes, the key to successful business operations is effective inventory management.

Explanation of Solution

Inventory Management: It refers to the practice of monitoring the flow of inventories from manufacturers’ warehouse to the point of sale. It maintains the detailed record of the inventories purchased, sold or returned from or to the manufacturers’ place.
