A Weekly Inventory Routine for Small Retail Teams

Choose one fixed day each week and review a manageable product category. • Compare physical labels with the inventory record. • Review repair, approval and customer-hold items separately. • Record every difference before changing the system balance. • Assign one person to investigate each exception. • Close resolved exceptions with a dated note. The purpose is not to count everything every week. It is to build a habit of finding causes early and maintaining trustworthy records.
