The first time I find out that we’re running low on a supply is when someone tells me they can’t find any.
Why didn’t the person who used the last piece tell me?
I know the person who used the last of something isn’t likely to tell me, so I keep a backup supply of most things locked away.
When someone tells me they can’t find something. I can give them some, and immediately order more.
How do you manage inventory? Do you regularly inventory and order accordingly?
