Questions

•How can handling of merchandise from different suppliers be coordinated?

•How much inventory should be on the sales floor versus in a warehouse or storeroom?

•How often should inventory be moved from non-selling to selling areas of a store?

•What inventory functions can be done during non-store hours?

Answer 1

* As the material being discussed are school suppliers and donated cloths, we need to maintain a perfect record of all the inflow and outflow of the material. A team can be assigned this task of being in contact with the suppliers regularly and keeping them informed of the requirements. Thos e suppliers must be given these contacts and each person must handle each supplier so that no confusion arises.

*On sales floor we need to put what the samples of all the products in this case all the supplies we have and the rest can be stored in warehouse which can be easily accessed fromt he sales floor. Th esupplies can get damaged if they are wrongly handled and to avoid this we need to store them carefully in the warehouse.

*The inventory must be moved timely depending on the sales of the store. When the sales are more we must move the inventory at regular time intervals . When sales is not so high the time taken can be more. Without sales if we keep the products in the selling area for long tim ethey might get damaged,

* During non store hours we can arrange the supplies in an order and record them . All the inflow and outflow must be noted down daily and the necessary supplies for the next day can be arranged in the sales area.
