Working inventory
Working inventory is the amount of a commodity or product held in stock that is readily available for operational use, trading, or delivery.
For example, a refinery may maintain a working inventory of crude oil to meet production schedules, manage supply interruptions, and respond to market opportunities.
Working inventory is essential for operational efficiency, liquidity, and risk management. It ensures continuity of operations, minimizes stockouts, and supports timely deliveries.
Understanding working inventory allows traders, logisticians, and operations managers to optimize storage, plan supply chains, and reduce costs in commodity markets.
