We have a tendency to buy office supplies, e.g. paper clips, pens, markers, etc… only to later find out that we have it in excess, that they were just in the corner of a closed cabinet or shelf.

This isn’t a major issue, but I’m also thinking there’s probably an easy solution. I was thinking perhaps just have open shelves so they would always be on display with no blind spots, or to just draft an excel sheet checklist of sorts, and just have 1 of our office staff do a monthly audit.

What do you guys do?

Thanks

    Great idea… really novel.

    I’m thinking about ordering a few of these open shelves (36" length), and order transparent boxes for the office supplies.

    We’ve made an excel sheet with picture, info, and vendor like you, but the kanban cards would also be a great physical reminder!

    Thanks
