Warehouse is an essential limb of an electrical unit. It is the depository of all materials required by the electrical unit and supplies materials as and when required. Different types of materials are required for different operations in an electrical project. Warehouses and Inventory controls are often overlooked and are not thought to be an important activity. Therefore, incorrect levels of inventory can be held with attendant knock-on effects to costs, availability, and customer service. By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

• implement all the essential tools for the effective management of warehouses and stores.
• know how to evaluate procedures and how to improve methods by eliminating wasteful activities and excess costs.
