Optimizing those inventory levels using automation can help maximize uptime with less stock. Day-to-day warehouse operations require accurate, up-to-date inventory levels. A survey from the Peerless Research Group found that 94-percent of respondents considered maintenance, repair and operating (MRO) supply to be important to their organizations.

This method of valuing inventory involves proportional treatment of both the cost of goods sold (COGS) and the inventory item in stock at the time of valuation. This means that both are treated the same when it comes to determining value. The primary benefit to the weighted average cost method is that it levels out price fluctuations.
