Research Methodology
This study uses a quantitative research approach to examine the role of predictive analytics in inventory management. The researcher collects numerical data to identify patterns, trends, and relationships related to inventory decisions and predictive tools. A structured questionnaire serves as the main tool for data collection, helping to maintain uniformity and accuracy in responses. The questionnaire contains closed-ended questions that focus on respondents’ experiences, usage, and views on predictive analytics and inventory practices. The researcher collects data from 50 respondents working in the manufacturing, retail, logistics, and distribution sectors. This method ensures that the data is measurable, easy to compare, and suitable for statistical analysis.
