Cash management is the process of collecting and managing cash flows. Cash management can be important for both individuals and companies. In business, it is a key component of a company's financial stability.
Theoretical models such as the Baumol model have been developed for use in setting target cash balances. The Baumol model is similar to the EOQ model, which will be discussed later. Today, companies strive for zero cash balances and use borrowings or marketable securities as a reserve. Monte Carlo simulation can be helpful in setting the target cash balance.
Why is inventory management vital to the financial health of most firms?
Insufficient inventories can lead to lost sales.
Excess inventories means higher costs than necessary.
Large inventories, but wrong items leads to both high costs and lost sales.
Inventory management is more closely related to operations than to finance.
