The goal of inventory management is to have the right products in the right place at the right time.

While the idea of increased market share, a strengthened core business, expanded product lines, enhanced technologies, and reduced costs—drive the desire to find that perfect strategic partner, studies have shown that that over 80% of merger and acquisitions fail to achieve targeted expectations.
