Reduce Warehouse Waste through Effective Supply Chain Workflow

Conduct Warehouse Inventory

Type: Fill Checklist

The Conduct Warehouse Inventory process involves counting and reconciling physical stock in the warehouse against inventory records to ensure accuracy. This step typically begins by isolating a specific area or zone within the warehouse for detailed counting. Trained personnel conduct a thorough audit of inventory items, including products on shelves, pallets, and in storage bins. They compare counts with existing records to identify discrepancies, which may result from stockouts, overstocking, damage, or theft. Once discrepancies are discovered, necessary adjustments are made by restocking, disposing of damaged items, or resolving other issues. After the audit is complete, inventory data is updated to reflect changes, providing a clear picture of current stock levels for management's use in decision-making and planning.
