IMPORTANCE OF EFFECTIVE STOCK CONTROL IN AN ORGANISATION
ABSTRACT
Importance of effective stock control is the activities of receipts and issues of the materials to be controlled. The study therefore started by introducing theme of the project work, “importance of effective stock control in an organization” (A case study of eastern shop supermarket, Enugu).
The researcher discussed the purpose, significance and limitations of the study in chapter one. In chapter two, the researcher discussed fully the historical background of the company in question and had an indebt review of various contributions made by several authors on the subject matter in question. Chapter three brought the researcher to the research methodology. In chapter four, questionnaires were analyzed and interpreted using statistical data of percentages (%) method.
Finally, the researcher stated the summary, recommendation and conclusions in chapter five.
CHAPTER ONE
1.0 Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
The study of importance of effective stock control in an organization is being confined to the operation of Eastern shop supermarket Enugu which deals in selling of drinks, kiddies, beverages, gift items e.t.c and even a section of fast food joint. The company was established in 1978 with it's headquarter at No 92 Ogui road Enugu. It has its branches at Ontisha, Awka and some part of Enugu metropolis. The staff of Eastern shop supermarket is made up of both skilled and unskilled excluding disabled. The owner of this supermarket is Chief Okoye Isaac from Enuguu-ukwu in Anambra State. This supermarket is one of the oldest and best Supermarket in Enugu.
This being the case, it is therefore assumed that any fact derived or gotten from eastern shop supermarket will be a true representation of importance of effective stock control in an organization.
1.2 Statement of the Problems
This study entitled “Importance of effective stock control in an organization” in Enugu State, A case study o eastern shop supermarket Enugu attempts to examine and understand the major problems involved in stock control and relate these problems to importance of effective stock control in the organization. These problems are:
- To know the present importance of effective stock control measurement using eastern shop supermarket Enugu as a case study.
- Examination of reasons for carrying stock
- To study and understand the internal and external factor which influences stock policies and stock control
- Correct determination of the value of stock
- To consider and analyze the various system of importance of effective stock control for maintaining stock enterprises.
- The problems that affect the effective implementation of the stock control methods
1.3 Objective of the Study
Stocks form up to 60% of the total resources of an organization. Since the need for proper importance of effective stock control over the years, importance of effective stock control have advance greatly and the use of the most up-to-date, time and cost savings procedure will go long way in enhancing stores service. Specifically, the researcher has the following aims:
- To determine the system/method of importance of effective stock controls in operation and its impact in the enterprises
- To find out the contribution of adequate stores control procedures to the profitability of the enterprises.
1.4 Research Question
One importance thing a research of this nature needs to achieve is to prove the subject matter of the study. It therefore becomes necessary to formulate research questions on which the answer would be passed and are as follows:
- Does your organization achieve any advantage as a result of effective and efficient importance of effective stock control?
- Does alternative substitute result to lack of stocks?
- Does efficient and effective stock control reduces costs?
- Does high lead time lead to stock out situations?
- Does the percentage of total company expenditure represents investment in stock?
1.5 Research Hypothesis
In a bid to give this project the quality it deserves, the following hypothesis are hereby formulated and which will be tested in chapter four to ascertain their reasonableness.
Hypothesis One
- Ho: Stock level carried does not depend on the total cost
- Hi: Stock level carried depends on the total cost
Hypothesis Two
- Ho: Re-order level is not essential for making purchase decision
- Hi: Re-order level is essential for making purchase decision.
1.6 Significance of the Study
This is important because it will bring the knowledge of organization the numerous solutions to the problems being encountered by various stock managers within the organization. The study will also help to produce reliable costing information as regards to records of stock issues and receipts.
If production and delivery of goods were instantaneous, there would be no need for stock except as a ledger against price charges. Therefore, stock must be maintained so that the customers may be served immediately or at least quickly enough so that he or she does not turn to another source.
1.7 Scope of Study
The project writer intends to focus the attention of this study specifically on stock control function as practiced in an organization. The study will cover the standard used in evaluating stocks.
Finally, the project writer intends to make recommendations to help improve stock control and also to carry out some explicit activities like reviewing of the past relevance literatures and the testing of the hypothesis formed in order to determine its validity.
1.8 Limitation of the Study
Infact, there cannot be any successful research of this magnitude without encountering some difficulties. This project work is surrounded by some limitations, which indicated that it was not hitch free. The following are some problems that was encountered in carrying out this research work:
- Difficulties in securing some of the vital documents containing some valid information relating to the subject matter in the research.
- The lukewarm attitude of some officers who were supposed to attend and give reasonable response, some failed to give information.
- The degree of time consumed
- Finance was another constraint for the research

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the topic “Technical Consideration of the Effect of Solar Radiation on Nigeria” recommended for Geography Project?
Yes it is highly recommended — In this study, global solar radiation over Nigeria was simulated under an enhanced atmospheric CO2 level using the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) Regional Climate Model version 3 (RegCM3) for the period 1981 to 2100 with ECHAM5 GCM as the lateral boundary conditions. The simulated seasonal global solar radiation bias for the RegCM3 with NIMET and NASA observed datasets in the control period are of similar magnitudes and showed a mixture of persistent positive and negative biases ranging between 10% and 30%. The model generally underestimates solar radiation (biases 10% to 30%) across the whole country in most of the months. In addition, it overestimates radiation (biases +2—30%) over the northern region of the country. Alongside the present climate (1981—2010), …
