Abstract

For any business operating with perishable items, mastering inventory control is not just an advantage but it's a necessity. This study explores into the evolving world of inventory frameworks that specifically account for fluctuating demand, shifting prices, and the inherent spoilage of products. By integrating findings from recent studies (2017-2025), it identifies practical methods for streamlining inventory, minimizing financial loss, and strengthening the entire supply chain. Core strategies like flexible pricing models, managed partial backorders, and accurate demand prediction emerge as vital tools. The findings offer a valuable guide for industry professionals and set the stage for further academic investigation.
