Following are few methods which a retailer uses to
check the merchandise
o Inspection: Every single unit purchased is
examined before purchase and after
delivery. Examples: jewellery, art.
o Sampling: Items which are bought in large
quantifies, and are breakable, perishable
or expensive items are sampled for quality
and condition. In sampling only a fixed

checked. If the sampled units are in good
condition, the entire shipment is bought.
o Description: When standardised non-
breakable, non-perishable items are
bought, items are ordered in quantity

Inventory management
Inventory management means that a retailer has
just the appropriate number of products.
Retailer will always want extra stocks and never
lose a sale due to a "no stock” position. At the
Say same time, the retailer should not be "stuck" with
slow or non-moving items. So, the balancing act
between the two is necessary and this process is
called inventory management.
Inventory status must be analysed regularly to
check the success of inventory management.
