One of the insights she shared:

“Every member of your team involved in the inventory management process should receive training on their roles and responsibilities. Do not assume that staff will know how to perform any of their tasks. Even small mistakes can lead to irresponsible purchasing, lost inventory and other unnecessary expenses. Monitor their efforts carefully, correcting mistakes when observed.”
