Abstract
Introduction
Management of laboratory inventory effectively is important for several reasons. It provides a continuous supply of consumables and non-consumables, removing ‘nil-stock’ periods. It ensures regular maintenance and repair of equipment and instruments and this in turn facilitates quality reporting and in the long run effective condemnation procedure.
Maintenance of records in a systematic manner facilitates proper management of inventory. Having a long association with departmental store, and experience gained during regular interaction with auditors, prompted us to develop a simple protocol for inventory management in the laboratory with emphasis on record keeping.
