What are the most used office consumables at your office? With companies focusing on reducing costs consumables have been in the gun site for some time. Many employees usually just run over to the next department and “borrow” supplies when they run out. Many companies have implemented departmental budgets and costs for supplies and other expenses are tracked and going over budget is frowned upon. Some departments in larger companies have placed supplies under lock and key and assigned just one person to manage the supply cabinet. A backup person would take over the role when the primary is out of the office. Personal Stashes With all the cutbacks some employees seizes the moment when they happen to get access to the usually locked supply cabinet. Locking up supplies has actually lead to employees hording supplies, creating their own stash. Of course this leads to the department have to buy more of the stashed supplies to keep the levels in the supply cabinet up. Shelf Life Downside Products like pens and ink cartridges tend to gradually degrade over time. How ever most companies tend not to pay attention to the fact that if you don’t use these items eventually they will be of no use. Newly purchased products are usually just placed on top of the older purchases. When its ink pens or other low cost item its not such a big deal. But when you get into more expensive items like toner cartridges it can add up. There are probably no statistics on this issue but it would be good to have the numbers. Rotating the stock could be useful or even just being mindful of the issue when restocking would be helpful in avoiding dated product quality loses. See original article.Florian S.
