Dwindling Inventory

Posted on May 15, 2008 @ 4:14 pm

As I was doing inventory the other day at the pharmacy where I work, I noticed that our supply of CPAP equipment was dwindling and I brought the matter to my supervisor.  He was really surprised that he didn’t really think we sold a lot of it but as we checked into it we found out that her sales have gone up substantially.

Three months ago we did not sell a single CPAP machine and last month we sold 12 of them.  I don’t know if it is a trend or a fad, but I know that if we did not make an order right away, we were bound to run out of the stuff.  He thanked me for being so observant and doing my inventory job so well.

When I came to work the next day I noticed that there was a new sleep apnea machine sitting on the counter that I had never seen before.  I guess when he ordered supplies, my supervisor decided to bring one of these in to see if it would sell.  Before I went home that day, it was gone.  I bet I will see more in the near future.
