Which section is responsible for tracking stock and inventory levels?

• A. Receiving section
• B. Storage section
• C. Packing & Crafting section
• D. Stock control section

Answer: (D)

Stock control is the section that tracks stock and inventory levels. It keeps the official counts, updates quantities whenever items are received or issued, and conducts cycle counts to reconcile what’s on hand with what’s recorded. This function provides visibility into current stock, expected future arrivals, and when replenishment is needed. Receiving handles items as they come in and records them, storage focuses on where items are kept and organized, and packing and crafting deals with preparing items for shipment or use. So, the part that monitors and manages inventory levels is stock control.
