What is Inventory Analysis, and where can I find more info?

[TommyVercetti]

There is a job I am trying to apply for and it requires that I have basic knowledge about inventory analysis. What is inventory analysis? From what I read and already know, it is about managing inventory, maintaining a minumum amount of inventory, etc.

Where can I find more information? I already searched Google. All I get are companies selling software about it. The job is entry level, so expertise is not required.

That's pretty vague. What industry is it? A fast food franchise will have a much different way of analizing inventory than a company that sells farming equipment.
