About this skill

Tracking, counting, ordering and rotating stock (such as FIFO) so the right items are available without shortages, waste or loss.

For candidates

Say what you managed (food and beverage, retail stock, spare parts, linen), the system and the methods you used, such as FIFO, cycle counts or par levels. Results, such as reduced waste or fewer stock-outs, are strong evidence.

For employers

Name the stock type and system. Ask how the candidate would deal with a count that does not match the system.

How matching works

Matching is most reliable when both the profile and job listing use this same skill and any expected proficiency is set accurately.
