This learning unit on stores control is one in the Choice Series, a self-learning development program for supervisors. The purpose of the approximately eight-hour-long unit is to enable the supervisor to design and organize the layout of a store for maximum efficiency, understand the types of documentation associated with the movement of goods throughout the stores and the workplace, appreciate the benefits to oneself and the workplace as a whole of an effective system of stores control, and understand some techniques used to control stock levels and take steps necessary to prevent losses by wastage and pilferage. An introduction provides an overview of the unit and lists unit objectives. Parts A through D contain informative material, activities and answer keys, self-checks and answer keys, and a summary. Topics include organizing a store, documentation, keeping everything moving, and keeping control. Part E contains performance checks--an end check to be completed alone, a tutor check, and a work-based project. Part F consists of a brief unit review, extensions (print sources of additional information, such as units or sections in books), and a list of references. (YLB)
