Slow-moving items are products or inventory that have low turnover or infrequent demand. Managing slow-moving items requires careful inventory control, storage optimization, and forecasting to avoid overstocking or obsolescence. In logistics, these items are often stored in dedicated areas to maximize warehouse efficiency and minimize carrying costs. Monitoring slow-moving items also helps with replenishment planning, clearance strategies, and improving overall supply chain performance.
