Dead Stock

Inventory with no realistic expected demand or operational use.

Examples

  1. 01The warehouse holds EUR 85,000 of dead stock, including covers for a machine model that was discontinued 6 years ago.
  2. 02In the quarterly review, dead stock is listed by item and location, with a decision to sell, scrap or donate each item.
  3. 03Clearing dead stock frees 300 pallet places and lowers the yearly cost of storing items no one will use.
