Introduction. Inventory costing or valuation is an accounting concept that has a direct impact on your gross profit and thus taxable income. Methods of valuing inventory are simply different cost-flow assumptions about how to allocate your cost of goods available for sale. They do not resemble your physical flow of goods, but rather, they allocate costs to either cost of goods sold or your ending inventory.

Order fulfilment plays a big role for any company with inventory. Without an order fulfilment process, a company wouldn’t be able to deliver their product to their customers. It is an involved process and it begins from the moment a customer places an order and only finishes when the product has landed successfully in the customer’s hands. The scope of the order fulfilment process is massive.

Even the most conservative estimate places the count around 10: (i) the seller, (ii) the insurer, (iii) the origin warehouse, (iv) the origin trucker, (v) the ocean carrier, (vi) the destination trucker, (vii) the destin

I admit, I love to eat Halloween candy as much as most grade school children (maybe more). My favorite: candy corn of course! What’s not to like about candy that is sugar mixed with more sugar! I am not the only one with a sweet tooth, according to CandyStore.com, this year Americans will spend more than $2.6B on trick-or-treat candy. I have to believe dentists see this number as both scary and job security.

Cloud-based technologies are among the latest innovations impacting supply chain and warehouse management. The concept of a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform allows users to tap into the enterprise-level software at a fraction of the cost of developing and maintaining systems in-house, reports Chad Collins of Supply and Demand Chain Executive. One of the potential applications of cloud-based technologies includes the use of a WMS in the cloud.

Almost everyone has heard about cloud computing and the fact most businesses are moving many of their IT operations to the cloud. More recently, however, there has been a lot of discussion about edge computing. The reason for this surge of interest is the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT).

Ambulatory surgery centers, like other businesses, must be in control of how much inventory they have and where that inventory is going. Inventory variances and inaccurate quantities on hand will likely put your patients at risk, jeopardize your level of clinical care, and frustrate caregivers within your organization. Loss of inventory also equates to loss of revenue.

California. A very big state with a very big population. In fact, it’s the largest consumer market in the U.S. and thus a very sensible place to have a distribution center. Making California even more sensible, from a distribution perspective, is the fact that most of the Pan-Pacific freight arrives via its ports. For many companies, these combined facts make logistics strategy simple: place a DC in California close to the arriving port and the West Coast distribution riddle is solved.
