The management and operation of an inventory warehouse are frequently supervised by storekeepers, who are tasked with a wide range of responsibilities to ensure the efficiency and safety of the warehouse. The primary duty of a storekeeper is the secure custody of all items within the warehouse. This involves organizing and maintaining inventory in a way that prevents damage, loss, and deterioration. Storekeepers must implement effective inventory management practices such as first in, first out (FIFO) or just in time (JIT) to optimize material usage and reduce waste.

Storekeepers are also responsible for tracking inventory levels and initiating replenishments when supplies decrease to predefined thresholds. This requires meticulous attention to detail and proactive communication with procurement and production departments to avoid discrepancies that may disrupt the manufacturing schedule. Additionally, they conduct regular audits and checks to ensure that actual stock matches recorded inventories and to identify any issues related to inventory accuracy or depletion.

The work environment for storekeepers typically revolves around the inventory warehouse but may involve interactions across various departments of the manufacturing facility. Storekeepers work closely with production managers, supply chain coordinators, and logistics personnel to align inventory availability with production and shipping schedules.
