Sleeping Stock

It is also called Dormant Stock or Sleeping Inventory, and refers to the items which are now stored in a warehouse or another place, but have not be used for a long time. This is why the opportunity of their production or shipping was missed, and the items influenced by seasonal variation or cycle movement are the cases. They can, however, be used properly as production parts or service parts. In contrast, the items whose production is stopped and which will never be used again and have lost their own function due to some damage are called Dead Stock.
