STORES AND WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT TRAINING COURSE

INTRODUCTION
Material management is only possible if proper records of the stores are maintained. Stores are
very important in carrying out day-to-day operations. The objective behind stores is the
continuous supply and production of goods and services. Managing the stores ensures that every
project, no matter how large or small is properly managed. Store keeping’s basic function is to
receive the materials, recognize, place the same and issue the raw materials on the requisition

management of materials. It ensures that all the various activities involved during the process of
storekeeping are carried out economically and efficiently.
