Inventory Management

Photobucket



At CarID.com, the items in our warehouse do not have a set inventory standard. The shipping clerk is the person who checks the stock and keeps an eye on when the stock is running low and when more stock has to be ordered. There is no inventory control, for example, if an item is lost or stolen from the warehouse, there is no way to trace it or catch the person who may have stolen the item. There is no cameras in the warehouse to catch theives, but CarID.com relies on the trust of their employees to keep the warehouse and inventory in control and away from the theives.

Most of the items that are stored in the warehouse are large, so it is very hard to walk out with any of the items. Smaller items have close to no value and if one or two of the items are missing, the company will not suffer. Everything in the warehouse is kept in order, and everything is labeled. This makes it easier to find items and have the items shipped out very fast and efficiently. If the warehouse was not in this order, there would be a mess everywhere and it would make the job of shipping these items harder for the shipper.
