Inventory Maintenance Process

1. Create a Master Inventory List

   • Use a spreadsheet, app, or logbook.

   • Include columns like: Item, Quantity on Hand, Minimum Stock Level, Last Restocked Date.

2. Set Par Levels

   • Determine minimum stock levels for each item.

   • E.g., “Always have at least 2 bottles of detergent.”

3. Perform Weekly or Bi-Weekly Inventory Checks

   • Count current stock and note any items running low.

   • Rotate stock to use older supplies first.

4. Track Usage Trends

   • Estimate how quickly each item is used (e.g., 1 bottle of detergent per week).

   • Helps with ordering the right amount.

5. Reorder Supplies Promptly

   • Reorder when items approach the minimum level.

   • Maintain a contact list for reliable vendors or stores.

6. Label and Organize

   • Store items in clearly labeled containers or shelves.

   • Group similar items together for easy access and tracking.
