ABSTRACT

This  study   was   designed   to   evaluate   the   impact   of  inventory management  on  the   firm's   profitability  as  well  as  to  identify inventory  management problems  peculiar  to Nigeria Breweries with a view to recommending solutions  which could be of great  benefit to other  manufacturing firms. Relevant literature were reviewed  to provide   support    for   the   study,   and   their    empirical   findings indicated  positive impact. A cross sectional data which covers 2009-2013  was   collected   form   the   published   financial   statement  of Nigeria Breweries and used  for the hypothesis  testing. Measures  of profitability were examined  and related  toproxies  for inventory management. The  statistical  tool  of ordinary  least  squares  method was applied  in the  analysis. The study  revealed  that  the  impact  of inventory  management  on profitability is  significantly strong  and positive. Finally,the study made some recommendations.
