The team responsible for the inventory management success depends on the structure of the company. In many companies, they use the all-hands-on-deck approach, which means not one person is accountable for inventory management success. If you want to see inventory management effectiveness for your business, allow several teams to be responsible for different parts of the inventory workload instead of one team. For example, put the purchasing team in charge of the purchase order. Let them know they are accountable for making sure that they are not over or under-purchasing items. Every purchase order should be monitored by the purchasing team. The merchandising team is accountable for the proper listing, promotion, and prices of the inventory.  The warehouse team which is headed by either a warehouse manager or inventory specialist is accountable for handling all inventory. If the business has multiple storage facilities, they are responsible for delegating proper stock levels in each location. Apart from these tasks, the warehouse team is accountable for more inventory management tasks. They include managing the reception, picking, and shipment of goods. The team is tasked with ensuring that the process of picking, packing, and shipping goods run smoothly.
