•Quite often, purchases are not linked with stock availability because of the fact that many items are not properly identified and included in the stores catalog.
•Variety reduction would require
-Periodic review of non-moving and slow moving items.
-Eliminating non-moving and obsolete items.
-Deliberate elimination of duplicate and unnecessary items held in the stock.
