A RETAIL FURNITURE TRADER’S INVENTORY SYSTEM
研究了一家名为TJF的家族家具企业，因其缺乏系统库存记录，通过文档审查、访谈和实物盘点，设计了新的库存记录系统，包括商品编码和每日库存变动记录，使企业能准确掌握库存和成本信息。
An important factor any business is to manage its inventory. The family business, TJF, which is the focus of this research, has no systematic inventory recording system, yet this is a home furniture dealer whose main investment and activities are related to inventory. TJF’s old manual inventory record itemised only current product quantities and never collected historical data. The research to design an appropriate new system began with document reviews of the old stock records, plus interviews with owners and workers. The oldest data was only one year old and some had been lost or not collected. A physical stock count was therefore made to create accurate records. Codes for each item were created, to reduce errors from picking the wrong products and to make it easier to remember products. A daily stock movement record was designed, to be used with new computerized stock records. With this record system, the firm now has ready access to accurate details of its total inventory and costs.
