Inventory Control If you sell merchandise, you should have a system in place to monitor it.
An adequate stock-control system will tell you how muchmerchandise you have on hand, what is on order, when it will arriveand what has been sold. This kind of system allows you to planpurchases and manufacturing intelligently, and you will quicklyrecognize fast-selling and slow-moving items.
