Identify Inventory Locations
In this task, you need to identify the various locations where inventory will be tracked. This could include different warehouses, storage rooms, or even different shelves within a single location. The purpose of this task is to ensure that all inventory locations are accounted for and properly managed.
Establish Excel workbook structure
This task involves setting up the structure of the Excel workbook that will be used for inventory tracking. The Excel workbook will serve as the central hub for all inventory data. It is important to establish a clear and organized structure to ensure accurate and efficient tracking of inventory. This task includes creating different sheets for each inventory location and setting up a main inventory sheet to consolidate all the data.
Create individual worksheets for each location
In this task, you will create individual worksheets within the Excel workbook for each inventory location identified in the previous task. These individual worksheets will serve as separate tracking sheets for each location, allowing for more detailed and focused inventory management. Each worksheet should be labeled with the corresponding location name.
Input Initial Inventory amount
This task involves inputting the initial inventory amounts for each location into the Excel workbook. The initial inventory amounts should reflect the starting inventory levels at each location before any inventory movements or transactions have taken place. This information is crucial for establishing a baseline and tracking inventory changes.

Set up Excel formulas for Inventory tracking
In this task, you will set up Excel formulas to track and calculate inventory levels for each location. These formulas will automatically update based on inventory inputs and outputs, providing real-time information on current inventory levels.
Stipulate Inventory Input process
In this task, you need to stipulate the process for inventory input at each location. This includes guidelines and instructions for recording inventory received, such as documenting relevant information like item name, quantity, and supplier. It is important to have a standardized process to ensure accurate and consistent inventory tracking.
Implement Inventory Output process
This task involves implementing the process for inventory output at each location. This includes guidelines and instructions for recording inventory issued or used, such as documenting item name, quantity, and recipient. Having a standardized process for inventory output ensures efficient tracking and helps identify any discrepancies.
Log Inventory Input and Output data
In this task, you will log the inventory input and output data into the Excel workbook. This involves recording the details of each inventory transaction, such as date, location, item, quantity, and any additional relevant information. Logging this data allows for accurate tracking of inventory movements and helps in identifying any discrepancies or issues.

Calculate Current Inventory Levels for each Location
In this task, you will calculate the current inventory levels for each location based on the inputs and outputs recorded in the Excel workbook. This calculation will provide real-time information on the available inventory at each location. It is important to regularly update and check these calculations to ensure accurate inventory tracking.
Prepare Summary of Inventory Levels
This task involves preparing a summary of the inventory levels for each location. The summary should include the current inventory levels, as well as any relevant information such as inventory deficiencies or excess. This summary will provide a quick overview of the inventory status across all locations.

Propose Inventory Restocking
This task involves proposing inventory restocking plans for locations where inventory deficiencies have been identified. The restocking plans should include details such as the items to be restocked, the quantities needed, and any specific supplier or procurement requirements. Proposing inventory restocking ensures that the inventory levels are maintained at optimal levels and helps in meeting customer demands.

Create Report for Management Overview
In this task, you will create a report to provide management with an overview of the inventory tracking process and the current inventory levels. The report should include relevant information such as inventory summary, deficiencies, restocking plans, and any other key metrics or insights. The report should be concise, easy to understand, and visually appealing to effectively communicate the inventory status to management.
Design Inventory Movement chart per location
In this task, you will design an inventory movement chart for each location. The chart should visually represent the inventory inputs and outputs for each location, showcasing the inventory movements over a specific period of time. Designing these charts helps in analyzing inventory trends, identifying any patterns or issues, and making informed decisions regarding inventory management.
