MEMO To: Greegan Electronics warehouse staff From: Kiriko Ishii, Warehouse Manager Date: September 24, 2:30 P.M. Subject: Warehouse inventory process The recent increase in the range of stock we carry has made our current way of taking inventory inefficient and inadequate. Therefore, we will no longer shut down the entire warehouse for a full inventory twice a year. Instead, we will begin taking inventories of defined groups of products either once a quarter, twice a year, or once a year. This will allow the warehouse to remain at least partially operational year-round and focus our attention on keeping track of our most valuable stock. A project team is currently determining the classifications of each product. Group A will comprise the top 20% of products based on a combination of cost per unit and order frequency, with the next 40% in Group B and the final 40% in Group C. Once the classifications have been assigned, the first inventory of Group A will begin.

What is the purpose of the memo?
