What is another word for over-stocking?
Pronunciation: [ˌə͡ʊvəstˈɒkɪŋ] (IPA) 
Over-stocking refers to the situation where an excessive amount of goods or inventory is being stored, beyond what is necessary to meet demand. Synonyms for over-stocking include surplus, excess inventory, overload, overabundance, glut, plethora, and over-supply. These words express the same idea as over-stocking but with slightly different connotations. For instance, a surplus implies an excess of supply over demand, overload suggests a burden, and overabundance implies an abundance that is unnecessary. Regardless of the terminology used, over-stocking has negative consequences including increased costs, decreased productivity, and decreased profit margin. It is, therefore, critical for businesses to manage their inventory to prevent over-stocking.
