How often should you review inventories and stock record cards to identify slow moving items and dead stock?
- A.
Daily.
- B.
Monthly.
- C.
Quarterly.
- D.
Semi-annually.
Correct Answer
D. Semi-annually.Explanation
Semi-annually is the correct answer because reviewing inventories and stock record cards every six months allows for a balanced approach. It provides enough time to gather sufficient data and identify slow-moving items and dead stock accurately. Reviewing too frequently, such as daily or monthly, may result in unnecessary effort and time spent on items that may not have had enough time to show a pattern of slow movement. On the other hand, reviewing less frequently, such as quarterly or annually, may delay the identification of slow-moving items and dead stock, leading to potential financial losses.Rate this question:
