will link to required stock levels that you investigated in Activity 1. Use the following questions to guide your investigation and record your responses after each question. Retain these responses to show your assessor when you are ready to be assessed: What is the cycle for ordering stock for a number of stock items (pick examples that are different and are supplied by various companies)? What arrangements are in place to order stock outside of the set or predetermined re-ordering cycles? When these alternative arrangements are used, does this cost more than ordering stock through the standard cycle for ordering (pick examples that are different and are supplied by various companies)? In your investigations, have you come across a situation where production or sales were lost because stock was depleted? What actions were taken in these examples and what changes or improvements resulted from these actions (pick examples that are different and are supplied by various companies)? Summarise the links between required stock levels and re-ordering cycles (pick examples that are different and are supplied by various companies). Activity 4: Users' responsibilities
