Management of stocks: t
The optimum level of stock depends upon a variety of factors,arising from the interests of the different departments involved in production and management should establish an overall policy for stocks after considering the interests of the organization as a whole.
The following points should be noted:
(a) FINANCIAL: From a financial point of view,the aim should be to minimise stockholding cost. To know the cost of production, To know the cost of keeping the stock.
(b) BUYING: The average level of the stocks held will tend to increase if advantage is taken of special buying offers,example lower prices or higher discounts.
(C)PRODUCTION: In the interests of efficiency production runs should be as long as possible. This requires large raw material stocks to safeguard against shortages resulting in alterations to the production schedule.
(d) SALES: the sales department will want to be able to satisfy all customers' orders.This will mean high stocks if finished goods to provide s buffer against uncertainty of demand.
(e) OBSOLESCENCE: This is the most serious aspect of stock wastage Stores management must attempt to minimise holdings of items which may become obsolescent.

Stock management is a course on its own. We need to make sure we manage our stocks to know the trend at which our goods and services are flowing. This will prevent us from running out of stocks. And also know how the goods and service stocked are reducing.
