The document provides guidance on how to develop a research question. It outlines the typical structure of a research process, including defining the question, seeking information from various sources, analyzing the collected information, and evaluating whether the question was answered. It emphasizes starting with a broad question and identifying sub-questions to focus the research. Tips are provided for each step, such as using a mind map to organize questions, taking notes from sources, and thinking of ways to communicate results. The overall process is described as iterative, with the ability to redefine the question if initial information does not provide an answer.

- 31. Teoría Concepto Fenómeno al que hace referencia Inventory Management Stock Available Inventory management is a science primarily about specifying the shape and placement of stocked goods. It is required at different locations within a facility or within many locations of a supply network to precede the regular and planned course of production and stock of materials. The scope of inventory management concerns the fine lines between replenishment lead time, carrying costs of inventory, asset management, inventory forecasting, inventory valuation, inventory visibility, future inventory price forecasting, physical inventory, available physical space, quality management, supply management, replenishment, returns and defective goods, and demand forecasting. Balancing these competing requirements leads to optimal inventory levels, which is an ongoing process as the business needs shift and react to the wider environment. Inventory management involves a retailer seeking to acquire and maintain a proper merchandise assortment while ordering, shipping, handling and related costs are kept in check. It also involves systems and processes that identify inventory requirements, set targets, provide replenishment techniques, report actual and projected inventory status and handle all functions related to the tracking and management of material. This would include the monitoring of material moved into and out of stockroom locations and the reconciling of the inventory balances.
