In our organization it falls on the Shipping Supervisor.
I work for a small company and manage everything myself. I report to the production team, but most of my meetings and reporting goes to the purchasing team and accounting department. It works pretty good, until I take a vacation and no one backs me up... LOL.
Thanks! I have a background in inventory control and so does our production manager...right now we don't have an inventory control role so the argument is currently who should "own" it. Haha politics...
I’m my experience it’s always fallen under purchasing- I’ve held responsibility. My last organization management believed it fell under production control, but they never managed it, nor did they understand how to.
I run the shipping and receiving department for my company and the inventory control files with me. I’m in charge of distributing the inventory managing it, as well as performing the cycle counts regularly
It falls on the production department. I guess it really depends on the company. My last employer had the same system.
It fell under production control. It's always been like this even in my previous workplace.
