Buy better and account for every item of stock.
Buying & Stock Control improves how you buy and how you control stock, for better quality, efficiency and accountability. It suits businesses with significant purchasing or stock, and builds on Develop Your Business Plan. It is one of the six Improve Your Business modules, each of which can be taken on its own.
Who it is for
- Owners and managers of small or medium-sized enterprises that hold physical stock
- Administrative and managerial staff who manage stock
What you will be able to do
You will be able to:
- Avoid the common mistakes made when buying equipment, raw materials or finished goods
- Set up buying systems that you can delegate and scale up
- Run stock control that accounts for all stock
- Carry out regular stock takes so that records match what is on the shelf
- Manage suppliers for performance and quality
Before you start: this course works best once your business has a costing system. If it does not, take Costing first.
