Orumie Ukamaka Cynthia

Abstract: A survey on the effect of inventory control on profitability of a business organization was carried out on DUFIL Prima Foods Limited at Choba, Port Harcourt. Questionnaires were used to obtain the views of the workers on whether the profitability of a business organization depends on inventory control or not. In order to get the frequency and percentage of the responses, descriptive statistics were used, whereas the Chi-square test was used to test the hypothesis using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 16. The graph showed that the age of staff within the range of 26-35 years recorded the highest number of respondents with majority of men who are married. Also they are mostly B. SC/HND holders with at least five years of experience. The Chi square results showed that inventory control affects the profit position of the company significantly. Also, result revealed dicates that inventory control determines when goods that have been exhausted from the store so that replacement can be made and that inventory control system of any organization will eventually affect the success of that organization.
