Background of the Study
Inventory management plays a crucial role in supply chain performance, particularly in manufacturing industries where raw materials and finished goods must be efficiently managed. Effective inventory management ensures the right products are available at the right time, minimizing waste, reducing costs, and improving customer satisfaction (Chopra & Meindl, 2023). A poorly managed inventory can lead to stockouts, excess inventory, and supply chain inefficiencies.
BUA Group, one of Nigeria’s largest manufacturing and industrial conglomerates, operates in Yobe State, where logistics and supply chain challenges are prevalent. Managing inventory efficiently in this region requires addressing issues such as transportation delays, supply chain disruptions, and warehousing limitations (Okonkwo & Adeyemi, 2024). This study seeks to analyze the relationship between inventory management practices and supply chain performance at BUA Group in Yobe State.
