Cycle counts were introduced to maintain stock accuracy and monitor negatives, whilst so far 1 inventory has been performed to a positive outcome. Show less

Good Communication with the shop floor is essential as is keeping everyone up to date with all stock issues and aiding with all aspects of loss prevention.In my first year I have been involved in 2 stock takes with very good results, the first result being 0.1% and the second was 0.2%, which was achieved by developing a strong stock team and consistent hard work. I am also the back of house trainer for Michael Kors, all new stock, managers and operations are trained by me on JDA (software), loss prevention, transfers, RTV's, damages etc...I have worked in retail for 16 years and have been a shop floor manager, so I have a great understanding of all aspects of the business and how important it is that all departments work as a team.
