The main causes of the waste of inventory
is that of the waste of overproduction,
making more than the customer wants or
in advance of customer demand, these
two wastes are heavily interlinked and you
should read up on the waste
of overproduction.It can also be caused
by poor layout and lack of balance in your
workflow causing inventory to build up
before or after different processes.

The next causes is there's no clear

SOP related with maximum stock
quantity, wrong setting machine,
bottleneck process, downtime

Example
Inventory can be observed in many areas
of a business, as either raw materials that
have been ordered in excess of customer
requirements due to mistrust of suppliers
or to take advantage of “bulk discounts”
to the large amounts of finished goods
sitting in your warehouse just in case a
customer orders them.In addition to this
we can see levels of inventory building up
in front of processes that are slower than
the preceding processes and visa versa.
We also see large batches of materials
being moved around due to machine
setups requiring us to run over sized
batches to ensure we make good use of
our machines.
Solution

1. Create SOP for examples spare part
warehouse so that inventory can be
managed appropriately. The aim is to
reduce the desposite goods but not
cause stock out.
2. A stirct rejection of PPIC so that
products do not enter the  warehouse
so that there is no waste in inventory
3. Kanban system can be used to help
ensure that we balance our processes
and prevent the build up of inventory.
