Inventory Management

Objective

The purpose of this policy is to establish procedures for the management and accountability of Company owned and controlled inventory and equipment to include: receipt and tagging of equipment, completion of a physical inventory count/reconciliation, removal of equipment and inventory, acceptance of inventory and equipment, and disposal of inventory and equipment that is no longer needed. A deviation from the policy and procedures may result in the loss of income to the Company and income to employees. Therefore, it is very important for employees to adhere to these procedures.

Scope of Policy

All employees are required to follow this policy. Inventory will be counted at a minimum of 4 times per year. Quarter counts will be done on all non-truck and truck inventory. Truck inventory will be done monthly with the possibility of counting quarterly based on deviations.

Basic functions are:

• Identify and tag all inventory and equipment.
• Provide annual physical inventory of all inventory and equipment.
• Know the location of all inventory and equipment and ensure that equipment is adequately safeguarded and secured from possible theft and other hazards.
• Assure that assigned inventory and equipment is being used for business only.
• Exercise reasonable custodial care over the safeguarding

Receiving of items for Inventory

Upon receipt of items, all will be inspected to determine if the equipment is in an acceptable condition and in the correct quantity ordered.

Completion of Physical Inventory

A physical inventory of inventory and equipment is performed at a minimum once a year with trucks more frequently. The inventory is conducted by Purchasing Coordinator with the assistance of others.

Physical Inventory Guidelines:

1. Establish a master schedule that sets the beginning and completion dates for both the counting process and the inventory reconciliation.
2. For ease of reconciliation, consider scheduling the completion of the physical inventory count to coincide with the last working day of a period.
3. Suspend all transaction activities such as receiving and sales during the count process to make the process more efficient.
4. Notify affected parties providing adequate lead time to plan appropriately.
5. If not already available, prepare inventory tags to be used to identify items that have been counted and how many times they have been counted. Consider preprinted tags, if available from your inventory tracking system, containing all of the information except the actual counts, to reduce the effort on the day(s) of the count.
6. Prepare the storage area for the inventory count. (If the warehouse is clean and organized throughout the year, additional efforts before the count should be minimal.).
7. Make sure like items are grouped together. Arrange items so they can be easily counted (i.e., in "batches").
8. Make sure all items are identified with a part number, bar code, or other identification.
9. Update storage area floor plans to reflect current stock locations and identify count areas.

Establish clear cutoff guidelines, identifying which items to include or exclude from the inventory count.

1. If possible, complete all handling and recording of inventory products before the physical inventory count begins. This includes receipts, returns, consolidation between stocking locations, etc.

2. No movement of any inventory should be permitted during the physical count. Any items that are delivered during the count should be physically separated and labeled "POST INVENTORY: DO NOT COUNT".

If movement is required, backup documentation should be maintained and the quantity reflected in the count or subsequent discrepancy reconciliation. A good practice is to attach a count tag to copies of the documentation.

Conduct the Physical Count

Reconciling the Physical Inventory

Reconciliation is defined as the process of identifying, explaining, and correcting the differences between the physical count and the asset balance in the General Ledger

A. Determine the amount per physical count.

1. Enter the physical count into an inventory control system, if there is one, or into ThermoGRID listing all items in the inventory.

2. Significant discrepancies between the records and the count should be investigated and explained.

3. ThermoGRID will Calculate the total inventory cost by multiplying units per count by unit cost. The total will be the impact to the General Ledger.

4. Enter the final count numbers into the system.

**Technicians will maintain Accurate Inventory with no more than 10% inventory variance during counts.

Variances per warehouse/truck will be tracked and communicated to technicians and management.
