Tiivistelmä
The central theme of this thesis work can be described as the process of organizing a consignment stock on the commissioner's territory- the case company with supplier X. The main objective was to consider the benefits and risks of such an inventory model for the commissioner and explain why the company would need to make such changes. This work implementation was possible through cooperation with the commissioner, its provided materials, and the author's work experience in the case company.
The subjects directly related to the main concern of this thesis were chosen for the theoretical part, including a comprehensive overview of the inventory organization processes following the specification of purchasing functions and the concept of consignment stock. For a theoretical basis, domestic and international scientific sources were applied.
The empirical part, consisting of qualitative research and explanatory methods, was used by interviewing stakeholders of the case company, who have proximate professional knowledge and experience in business development, purchasing, and inventory management. No specific information about the case company or its supplier was revealed regarding the commissioner's will, including the companies' names and interviewers.
