Before the year ends, it is our scheduled yearly inventory at my job. We will not be open to customers except for emergencies. All the sales people will be here at our main branch to help out in counting. This company has not totally computerized its inventory system so part of it is done manually. It takes days to finish it. As early as now, some guys at the warehouse are segregating materials, separating which are included in the inventory or not. Several of our trade show materials, like the pipe and drape , table skirts and banner stands are temporarily moved inside the office. We do not count them since we only use them once a year for our trade show booths. Same group of people are in charge with the parts department every year and because of familiarity they become faster as we go along. It is tiring to do inventory but we make it light by having our central music system play some live music with free-flowing food and plenty of overtime. On top of our bonus, we love inventory overtime too. When we come back next year, we start a fresh with our sales and inventory. The big difference happens when everything will get computerized starting end of 2012.
