2 BEACON INSIGHTS December Issue 2 What About Inventory Reconciliation Reconciliation is a component of Integration Solutions that will lead to the blame game and loss of business confidence if not addressed upfront Inventory reconciliation is the practice of making sure the inventory you have recorded in your books matches what you actually have in stock. The reconciliation process is necessary for accounting and taxes, but is also useful in identifying problems you have with loss or flaws you have in record keeping. Inventory is money waiting to be sold to customers, yet all too often It seems to disappear at your expense, thousands of Pounds are written off with no understanding of what happened. RECONCILIATION is there to make sure this will never happen. Our 3PL project have started the reconciliation to all Zain warehouse for Non-commercial Items. The reconciliation is done on daily bases according to the inbound/outbound transactions. At any given time, the number of units we have on paper and the number of units that are actually in our inventory can be two different things. Even the most fastidious record keepers can miss updating an item after hundreds of transactions. Inventory reconciliation helps curb such errors by checking our Reports against a physical inventory count.

7 BEACON INSIGHTS December Issue 7 6 Time Management Tips for Workers 1. Start with a list of easy tasks that can be completed quickly. By organizing a list of easier tasks first, you can get the smaller stuff out of the way and give more of your attention and effort to the bigger projects. Also by doing this, you won t have to worry about those smaller tasks that could end up getting in the way of the ones that really matter to you and your organization. 2. Break a big task into smaller tasks. Sometimes it s hard to know where to start when you have a major project to complete. To confront this, you should take that project and break it down into a few smaller tasks that you can do without much stress. You can also batch similar tasks together. 3. Start creating your to-do list for tomorrow, today. Before you go home from work, the last thing you should be doing is to create a list of things you need to do for tomorrow. This way, when you head into work tomorrow. 4. Use a calendar to keep track of everything. This way, you never miss anything important. 5. Ignore distractions as best as you can. There are so many things that can get you off-track, Stay focused. 6. Try not to multitask if you can. If you focus on each individual task separately, you will be more effective in all that you do.
