Stocking the shelves [monitoring inventory

Synopsis

It's part of the job in any retail setting to keep track of the inventory in your immediate department. That means the essentials of watching the levels of inventory, how quickly it moves (or doesn't), learning to use the systems that keep track of inventory and replenish it as needed. It is also part of the job to become aware of shrinkage, movement of stock from area to area, and seasonal variations in selection and level of inventory. This book uses the principles of the series to highlight the duties and responsibilities of employees in a store and the supporting mechanisms of that store in dealing with maintaining inventory.
