What are the common challenges in applying the Gantt chart for inventory tracking and how can they be overcome?

Common challenges in applying the Gantt chart for inventory tracking include complexity in managing large inventories, difficulty in updating real-time changes, and lack of flexibility in accommodating unexpected changes. These can be overcome by using software that can handle large data sets, integrating the system with real-time data sources, and building flexibility into the model to accommodate changes.

Question was asked on:

The fourth tool is a Gantt chart used to track inventory usage and costs. The start time and interval lengths can be changed to accommodate any specific schedule. When these are adjusted, the list of times changes automatically. Users write a list of their company's items or resources in the first column. Items are grouped by category, such as "video equipment" or "furniture." Items can also be grouped by a specific type of item, such as "chair 1" and "chair 2." Each item is given a unique cost per time interval. The total value for that item is calculated automatically.
