Inventory is products that have gone through the production and ready for sale.
Possessing a high amount of inventory for a long time is usually not advantageous for a business because of costly storage, the possibility of obsolescence and spoilage costs. However, possessing too little inventory isn’t beneficial either, since the business runs the risk of losing out on potential sales and potential market share as well. So it is always to control or manage inventory.
