摘要
The significance of inventory theory for corporate management is questioned. A new perspective on how to look on inventory issues is needed: Inventories are very often the effect of mismanagement of those processes which lead to inventories. Therefore we need to fully control these processes to optimize inventories. The main business processes are briefly described and the role of IT assessed. Modern information technology enables us to design the concept of a virtual enterprise which in fact is a concept for global management of business processes. A concrete example is given.
