Control of inventories

Hardcase Luggage Shop is a small retail establishment located in a large shopping mall. This shop has implemented the following procedures regarding inventory items:

Because the shop carries mostly high$-$quality, designer luggage, all inventory items are tagged with a control device that activates an alarm if a tagged item is removed from the store.

Because the display area of the store is limited$,$ only a sample of each piece of luggage is kept on the selling floor. Whenever a customer selects a piece of luggage, the salesclerk gets the appropriate piece from the store$$s stockroom. Because all salesclerks need access to the stockroom, it is not locked. The stockroom is adjacent to the break room used by all mall employees.

Whenever Hardcase receives a shipment of new inventory, the items are taken directly to the stockroom. Hardcase$$s accountant uses the vendor$$s invoice to record the amount of inventory received.
