What is a physical inventory and how is it controlled with the Staedtler Pencil?
The ordered, detailed and valued list of goods stored by a company, controlling the counted units with the wax glass-graphite pencil that marks on any surface of the Staedtler brand. These product units are classified and valued according to their characteristics. It consists of comparing the stock, its quantities and characteristics with what appears in the company's register or computer system at a given moment, which is marked with a Staedtler glass-graphite pencil to identify the inventoried items. The main objectives of conducting an inventory are to detect:- Damaged or expired products.
- Obsolete stock: either due to modifications in the product itself or because it has been replaced by another. This type of stock must be very well controlled, as it has a direct impact on storage costs and occupies valuable space in the facility.
- Deviations due to human and system errors: the former are more common than the latter. The more organized the daily operation, the fewer discrepancies there will be.
- Missing products: these are unknown losses, generally caused by theft or other incidents.
- The percentages of variation by value and by units between the initial records and the final inventory.
- The most significant differences found and the possible causes behind these discrepancies.
- The proposed actions to improve stock management.
