dc.description.abstract | Guest Soap is a twenty grammes soap tablet
supplied to overnight guests in all Block Lodges and
Hotels. It is one of the seven hundred items purchased
and supplied to Block Lodges and Hotels by
the Central Stores of Block Lodges. Guest Soap is
purchased from East African Industries in cartons
of 144 specially labeled guest soap tablets.
Due to continuously increasing cost of capital,
-Block Lodges Management have made various studies
in an attempt to reduce inventory management costs,
through improved management and control systems.
Currently, inventories are managed and controlled
through a periodic-review-system.
In this project, the author uses Economic
Ordering Quantity Model and Statistical Forecasting
Techniques in an attempt to reduce inventory management
costs, at the same time improving management
and control systems. -This system has resulted to a
331% reduction in inventory management cost. Besides
the cost reduction, it provides a more efficient and
reliable system of inventory management and control
at the Block Lodges Central Stores. | en |
