Start with a reliable stock record

A useful inventory record tells your team what is available, where it is stored and what has already been reserved. Start by agreeing on one place to record these details.

Make the information easy to find

Give each item a clear name and a consistent reference. Record movements as they happen so the next person can work from the same information.

Put the insight into practice

Choose one product group and review its stock record with the people who use it every day. Check where information goes missing before changing the process.

• Agree who records receipts, transfers and dispatches.
• Review exceptions at a regular time.
• Update your process as the team learns.
