There are several ways in which a young entrepreneur can carry out purchasing activities responsibly, including:

1. Measured production of inventory or units of products - If an entrepreneur is producing bicycles for instance, (s) he should only spend on inventory that (s) he anticipates will be sold to customers or purchased by retailers. For example, let's assume that the entrepreneur has a purchase order from a retailer such as K-Mart for 500 bicycles. In this case the entrepreneur should only produce around 550 bicycles rather than 700 or 1000 bikes, thus, purchasing supplies and producing inventory in accordance with demand for his / her bicycles.

2. Lowering costs of production where possible - Firstly, this can be done by purchasing supplies and materials for inventory in bulk. Secondly, the entrepreneur could outsource the manufacturing of his/her product to countries (such as China) where production costs are significantly cheaper.
