stock monitoring & stock audit
We do it manually in parallel till we assure we are satisfied with the results
the precaution should be taken as follows:
1) check wheather the goods purchased is consumer durable or not, and the goods should move in regular basis.
2) keep a regular check on " Slow movement of goods"
3) Maintain " FIFO " Method (First in first out),
4) Segregate the product to make things easier.
Follow some basic rules:
-Keep a tab on the DSOH (days stick on hand) for your inventory
-A regular check on the slow moving items
-Do your due diligence on product forecast keeping in mind the delivery time vs. the consumption
Also following FIFO rule would be good to ensure you do not land up with junk or expired stock
In any materials stocking system , you should monitor the Age wise analysis report and keep the minimum stock levels
