What is the difference between inventory control and inventory management?

Inventory control is a more tactical approach where the main focus is on what is physically present in the warehouse and how the items are organized there. In contrast, inventory management covers the whole inventory life cycle including forecasting, purchasing, and strategy development. While control concerns the “now,” management is about “what happens next.”
