ABSTRACT
          This project work contain deals with instruction of an overview of inventory control in manufacturing company, it also include the aim and objective of study and scope of study.  Then the profit of Nigeria bottling company plc and its administration were highlighted.  The final summarizes the whole and deductible recommendation, which we think will be advantageous, to the management of Nigeria Bottling company plc and other manufacturing company’s.
