Abstract: Effective inventory management is crucial for food manufacturing businesses to achieve financial stability and operational efficiency. However, firms face challenges such as managing supply chain disruptions, maintaining product quality, adapting to market fluctuations, controlling costs, and meeting customer demands for faster delivery. This study investigated the inventory strategies of food manufacturing businesses in Davao del Sur. Employing quota sampling to ensure sufficient representation of each inventory strategy, this study examined the impact of different strategies on business performance among 200 businesses from five sub-sectors: bakeshops, meat processing, dairy, snack food, and beverage manufacturing. Data were collected through digital and print-based surveys, with a pilot test conducted to ensure reliability. Descriptive statistics and one-way ANOVA were used to analyze the data. Findings revealed that food manufacturing businesses in Davao del Sur adopted the four identified inventory strategies, with 50 businesses utilizing each. Findings revealed a pervasively high rating of satisfactory perceptions of the inventory strategies with mean scores ranging from 3.94 to 4.22, indicating high satisfaction levels. However, the results showed no significant difference in business performance across strategies, suggesting that their effectiveness depended on context and implementation. The study concluded that no single strategy is superior, emphasizing the need for businesses to tailor inventory management practices to meet specific operational demands.
