About Inventory and Materials Management
GoConqr OriginalWhat this page covers
This page sits in the Inventory, Warehousing and Cargo Handling strand of Logistics and supply chain. Most of what it lists is mind maps, with flashcard decks, quizzes, notes and a few flowcharts alongside them. All of it was made by GoConqr users.
Where to start
Begin with the mind map Inventory Mgt. It sets out the functions of inventory, the types (raw material, work in process, MRO and finished goods) and how to classify stock with ABC analysis. Then read The Management of Inventory, which moves from a definition through choices and KPIs to optimisation methods.
Next, try Managing Inventory. It looks at why firms hold stock: batching economies, safety stock, seasonal stock and anticipatory stock. It also covers inventory costs such as capital and storage space.
Decision models and terms
Many maps carry the title Inventory Decision Making. They compare push and pull, dependent and independent demand, and fixed order quantity against fixed time period approaches. One map looks at the economic order quantity model and its history.
For terms, the flashcard decks Operations Management 4A Terms_1 and Operations & Supply Chain Mgmt 4A Terms (Chap 20) cover the Pareto principle, the decoupling point, the single period model and inventory costs. The deck Periodic review system is a short extra.
Using maps, cards and quizzes together
- Read one map to get the structure.
- Run through the matching flashcards until the terms feel familiar.
- Take a quiz such as CHAPTER 8: INVENTORY MANAGEMENT or SCM 510 Inventory management to see what you missed.
- Go back to the map for those gaps.
Beyond inventory
The deck on logistics, distribution and transportation covers cross docking, hub and spoke systems and the centroid model. Use it when your course moves from stock to moving goods.

Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the mind map Inventory Mgt. It shows the functions of inventory, the main types of stock and ABC analysis in one view. After that, The Management of Inventory adds definitions, KPIs and optimisation methods, so you build a clear picture before moving to models.
What do the Inventory Decision Making maps cover?
They set out the fundamental approaches to inventory decisions. Topics include push against pull, dependent against independent demand, and systems against single facilities. They also cover techniques such as fixed order quantity and fixed time period models. Several users made their own versions, so you can compare layouts.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed on this page is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
Who are these resources suited to?
They are aimed mainly at university students and professional candidates who want to practise inventory terms, classification and ordering models. Teachers can also use the maps, decks and quizzes as ready-made material. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr.
Which flashcards help with key terms?
Try Operations Management 4A Terms_1, which lists the Pareto principle, the decoupling point, the single period model, fixed order quantity and inventory costs. The Stock Control deck and the Periodic review system deck are useful for revising how stock is monitored and reordered.
What if I cannot find a topic I need?
Check the related maps on supply networks, managing suppliers and inventory risks, or the transportation deck. If a topic is still missing, you can build your own map, flashcards or quiz with a free account and keep it for revision.
