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.
