stock taking

Inventory is essentially the process of checking the actual number of inventory items in a store or warehouse and comparing them with the figures on the books to identify any differences.

In business in general, "inventorying" is the process of identifying and organizing all the tasks and projects you have, and clearly understanding their priority and progress.

When used in the latter sense, the main purpose of conducting an inventory is,

• Identify outstanding tasks and neglected work.
• Objective understanding of the current status of your project
• Review priorities and eliminate waste This is the case.
