an inventory controller is responsible for stock levels, stock accuracy, the physical stock for serviceability and the status of the stock with the last meaning, that they have identified stocks that no longer meet the business objectives, and have formulated a plan to remove them from the company's books.
Inventory control specialists typically work in a warehouse. They collect data using a computerized system, which allows them to track various aspects of inventory. This data is used to calculate products and parts orders, to ensure that the proper amount of inventory is distributed at the right time. Additionally, specialists may track defective pieces of inventory, rates of return, rates of purchase, and rates of accuracy, in order to maintain and improve quality control. Inventory control specialists are also responsible for responding to sales inquiries, filing reports, managing employees, and providing creative solutions to discrepancies.
Many employers prefer to hire inventory control specialists who have a bachelor's degree in relevant areas, such as business or mathematics, though many positions are open to graduates with an associate's degree. Candidates are also required to be proficient in a computerized database or document system as well as office applications.
