I'm looking for a good solution for Inventory Information. I have a minimum, maximum and current stock information.

This was my first idea. Any thoughts?

Your design shows more than the minimum, maximum and current stock information. The colour code also tells how close to the limits you are.

I see a few issues:

  • can't the current value go below the minimum? What if the stock goes to 2? Same for high values.
  • you need to identify each item. If it's a label you might lack horizontal space. Maybe use horizontal gauges.
  • be careful with colour blind people. You could hatch to top and bottom areas to indicate they are not desirable.

I like the idea and your design communicates the min max stock information well. There is just one small issue I see. The way you designed it it seems that it is actually a manipulatable input control. The stock information looks like it would be possible to interact with it and slide it up or down.

What I can not comment on is how it works in the context it is used. Is it one of these controls per page, is it part of a list etc. I say this because the control is quite high, which could make it difficult to use in a list or similar settings.
