Morphology
The meaning is directly derived from combining 'inventory' (stock or list of goods) with 'control' (management or regulation), yielding 'management of stock'. This is a literal, compositional noun-noun compound common in many languages and domains, so a B1 learner who knows both words should readily understand it.
Etymology
Inventory control comes from the simple image of a shopkeeper who checks a list called the inventory and closes a gate or book to control what leaves the store. That's why it means 'managing supplies so you have enough but not too much'.
