People did not realize that materials represent an equivalent amount of cash. For this reason efforts were channeled towards cash control only.
Since the beginning of second world war the movement of materials and material handling determinant of modern production. It was found during third period that in as much as it was important to control cash, the control of inventory exceeded that of cash, so in every economic activity such as trading maintenance and manufacturing etc. inventories are in form of finished goods, there is greater need to take appropriate care of inventories to ensure the attainment of estimated goals and objective.
