Inventory Clerks
Inventory clerks are responsible for managing the products and supplies that come in and out of a business. They also help to ensure an accurate count of stored items in both warehouses and showroom floors if applicable.
In some industries, inventory clerks are required to be outdoors to receive shipments on loading docks.
Understanding the Role of Inventory Clerks
Inventory clerks are in charge of inventory records, which play an essential role in the supply chain management of businesses. Inventory records must be accurate at all times. Should there be any discrepancies between the projected and physical inventory, the inventory record will be able to show the movement of these inventories. Furthermore, they are also commonly used and studied by businesses when implementing strategies to develop a more efficient supply chain management process.
Apart from that, inventory clerks are also responsible for ensuring all items are being stored in the right places. In the day of a life of an inventory clerk, they typically engage in the following tasks:
- Review and apply any inventory activities, such as movements as well as deletions.
- Reconcile inventory discrepancies
- Update and maintain the inventory records
- Preparing a list of items that are depleting as well as surveying items deemed to be unusable.
- Creating and implementing inventory management procedures to increased efficiency and effectiveness.
- Enforcing loss prevention of goods.
- Compile price, balance, and cost reports.
