On the background of trends for sports companies to create their own distribution networks, as well as due to the peculiarities of sports goods (seasonally, fashion, etc.), the role of inventory management, ensuring the needs of customers, increases even more. The emergence of new technologies and concepts allows to improve classical approaches to inventory management and implement economically effective changes of relevant processes.</p><p>The aim of the paper is to improve inventory management system for sporting goods through the development of mathematical models and optimization tools. In WRC bachelor following tasks are accomplished: an analysis of the company; identifying problems related to stock; describing and analyzing the main approaches to inventory management. As a result, an appropriate approach to inventory management was selected; all the necessary mathematical models were developed and tested on real data.</p><p>All the necessary changes in processes and organizational structure needed to implement models are described and depicted in the work.</p><p>The economic feasibility of the proposed changes was assessed and proved with DuPont model (increase in Return on Net Worth by 0.1 percentage points).</p><p><strong>5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong><strong>Volume of bachelor&rsquo;s final work</strong>: p. &ndash; 94, pictures &ndash; 33, tables - 19, references &ndash; 27, applications - 0.</p>
