 6. Conclusion

Based on the results of our interview, Mr. Abida's warehouse sells Umrah and Hajj gifts.
There are perishable items such as food and some non-perishable items such as herbal
medicines and prayer mats. Therefore, the inventory management applied must be in
accordance with the products stored. For the inventory process, Mr. Abida uses a rolling
system to manage his employees. and restocking goods from warehouse to store is done
when the stock of goods runs out or almost runs out.
