  22. Answer on why drugs expired without knowing, damages, supplying wrong strength for another, lost in transit if saddled with a bit of logistics responsibilities and so on.

  23. Story of a successful person • As soon as I got on the job, I rolled out what I want to achieve which every store manager is expected to do if he must achieve success on the job. Take a look at mine. • The store/warehouse is committed to:

  24. i. serving you better via prompt delivery or dispatch of stocks, ii. enhancing effective communication, iii. handling your complaints with courtesy, absolute care and prompt response,

  25. iv. proper and accurate documentation(s) for effectiveness and efficiency, and v. due process for in-coming, out-going and out-sourcing of stocks.

  26. This is mine and you need something similar to this, not exactly. • It all depends on your organization and what you want to do or achieve. • Inventory management and control thus is a very vital knowledge at a store or warehouse manager must have in order to perform well on the job.

  27. Practically, inventory management is all about ensuring that • Everything about your stock is well planned and organized such that there is easy flow of stock within and outside the firm. • This means that you must have enough stocks to satisfy all orders

  28. Ensure that customers continue to have stocks at all time. • It is a complex things and quite challenging. Programs reorder level, maximum and minimum stock level, warning level, annual demand, etc. This is about INVENTORY OR STOCK CONTROL.
