The guest lecture on Strategic Inventory Management Practices for Enhancing Operational Efficiency and Product Freshness in the Bakery Sector was organised to provide students with practical industry insights into modern supply chain approaches within the food and bakery industry. The session aligned with the university’s commitment to promoting experiential learning, professional exposure, and application-based academic understanding. Given the dynamic nature of perishable goods management, the event aimed to bridge theoretical principles of inventory control with real-world bakery operations.
