Develop practical storekeeping skills to receive, store, record, issue and count stock accurately, keep stores safe and organized, and reduce losses, damage and stock-outs.
Storekeepers safeguard materials, spare parts and supplies that can represent a large part of an organization's assets. This practical course covers the day-to-day skills of effective storekeeping: receiving and inspecting deliveries, recording stock, organizing storage locations, applying first-in-first-out and first-expired-first-out principles, issuing materials correctly, carrying out stock counts and investigating discrepancies. It also covers safe storage and handling, including chemicals and hazardous materials, housekeeping and the security controls that prevent loss and theft.
The course is hands-on and focused on routines participants can use immediately. Activities include completing goods received records, designing a simple bin location system, conducting a mock cycle count and applying 5S principles to a store layout. Participants also discuss how good storekeeping supports maintenance, operations and purchasing. Delivered as a classroom or live online program in Doha, it can also run as an in-house program for organizations that want training based on their own stores, materials and procedures.
