Why?

It is important to maintain strict inventory control. The manager and the team are expected to know how to keep regular inventory checks. Remember to: ✓ Keep stock and inventory up to date. Run inventory audits; apply the 'FIFO approach' (First in, first out); identify and act on stock turn-over; track stock levels. ✓ Use the company's POS system (Point-of-sale system) to keep an accurate inventory count. Identify possible retail losses by reconciling your POS system with what's actually in stock.
