Transport receipt format for Product quality

hi I'm James this is whiteboard Wednesday my boss gave me 90 seconds to explain all this or I lose my job great inventory basics obviously you're going to be getting stuff from some vendor supplier to your business you're putting on your shelf and either redistributing or producing a new product or a little bit of both what do we do about our location we can either have it on site and on hand we can have it off-site we're starting small or there's even the option of dropship or a little bit of all identify this is really important with our inventory we need to make sure we're using stock keeping unit notice the SKU making sure we ID label everywhere that we can so we know exactly what we have where we have it it's going to take a little more time in the beginning but then you're not looking and searching you know where stuff belongs whether you're taking it down or putting it back up units of measure are you dealing in pounds are you dealing in the metric system are dealing with ounces know what you're counting also know are you counting by tens are you counting by the box the individual part something that small can really mess you up know what your system is plan what kind of plan do you have in place as to how you are using your inventory management are you trying to push each item through and hit an allotted certain number every quarter production week whatever it is or are you pulling it through relative to every order you receive that's when you make your product this requires a little bit more input from your computer in fact a lot more let's get to that records are you doing it on paper sure it's easy to start with it's very cheap but then you have to keep track of all that all those files all that information and if you plan on growing that's going to be a nightmare when you have to make the transition to the computer where you can have everything on hand all your files in one place and if you make use of the cloud boom you've got backup storage and you don't have to worry about losing files even if something happens to your business computer so inventory basics these are simple things but if you're not making use of them or even planning for them well you're planning to fail or something like that I don't know I only had 90 seconds I hope I don't run out Oh you you
