Sammanfattning: Inventory management is a key part of a company’s logistics function and is of great importance to companies as it is a substantial cost. It is of high importance for a company to make sure that the warehouse is efficient as possible. In this thesis two factors that hurt a warehouse’s efficiency are introduced; inventory inaccuracies and lead-time variations.This thesis has been dedicated to analyze how inventory inaccuracies and lead-time variations arise and how to eliminate them.To be able to solve this question we have used a qualitative research method. Our scientific approach is positivism and disciplinary approach deductive. To collect empirical data we have conducted interviews, done observations and used Kockums’s intranet.Our findings have shown that the problems often are caused by several factors and that the factors often caused by human errors. Our suggestions to Kockums are based on simplifying processes and that way eliminate human errors the best way possible.
