Abstract:One of the most important factors of an enterprise's efficiency is also adjusting of supply with demand requirements. Logistics, as an integral function of an enterprise that establishes and develops relations with the environment and, in a targeted manner, directs the subsystems of a company towards the main goal of its existence and operation, is the most appropriate tool for managing an enterprise in the modern dynamic environment. In many enterprises, inventory optimization is a major problem. Mainly, such enterprises are characterized by poor customer service, such as failure to adhere to delivery deadlines. Bearing in mind the state of Serbian companies, few enterprises can boast their applied scientific knowledge in the field of inventory optimization in practice. The subject of our research is the optimization of the inventory in the company Benlian Food Niš. The management of the company finds it rather significant to know approximately exact quantities needed for the next year. Given the fact that this is an importing company with its production, too, more precise quantities would be of great help, as this would enable management to make more adequate decisions on when and how many products to import and produce.
