The article is devoted to the problems of the efficient operation of enterprises and increasing of their competitiveness through the fast-changing market conditions in Ukraine. Investigated problem is reducing the costs and obtaining the maximum productivity from the inventory system of Ukrainian Engineering Plant "FED". The article presents the results of a study conducted by the authors on the inventory management process optimization of Ukrainian Engineering Plant "FED". The main scientific results: the study of the inventory system of Ukrainian Engineering Plant "FED" identified low inventory turnover, due to which their growth occurs, lack of own warehouse, the use of the principle of cell storage is inappropriate for this organization, which also causes an increase in stocks. The following solutions were proposed: reducing the share of stocks, that is, maintain constant sales and prevent them from stocking up in warehouses, using of an inventory management system with a fixed order size, the need of a properly equipped area for storing goods - a project to create a customs warehouse, implementing an automated inventory management system at Stock-M. Reducing the share of stocks and using of an inventory management system with a fixed order size will decrease the average annual inventory, the turnover ratio, respectively, the duration of the turnover period will also decrease. Implementing an automated inventory management system at Stock-M will have the great economic effect.

The concept of minimum display quantity (MDQ) is unavoidable in brick-and-mortar retailing format owing to which, retailers need to ensure a minimum level of inventory displayed at each store irrespective of the revenue or inventory turns generated by a particular store. It is observed that majority of bricks-and-mortar retailers in India assume;(a) existing inventory management system is ideal to their store, (b) software solutions record accurate inventory movement, (c) involving store management team in inventory related decision making is risky/biased and most importantly (d) loss of sale due to stockouts is inevitable. Such assumptions and widely followed practice have created a predisposition and mindset in store managers and they believe that their store delivers revenue and profit to the best of its potential with the inventory which is made available to them through existing inventory management system and we cannot avoid a number of instances consumers are unsatisfied due to stockout situations. In this research, we have analysed the existing decision-making process and control systems related to inventory management of a select retailer, attempted to design a new framework and applied the same through an experiment to evaluate the change in (a) overall store profitability and (b) inventory related key performance indicators.
