The Men’s Wearhouse has over 500 hundred stores nationwide. With such a large company, the inventory system is computerized to ease the process of restocking its merchandise. Men’s Wearhouse uses the Continuous Review System or the "Q" system. The company follows this process in two ways; first by the Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) and second by the manual counting of suits in each store.
The computer makes a report of every time a suit's SKU is scanned and sold. This report goes to the Merchandiser for the suits division. He examines the report and then determines which products sold well and in what sizes. Every store has a set day for when they receive stock, for example every Wednesday. They get specific items that the Merchandiser chooses based off of a previous report of the items sold.
When a store manger does the counts for his inventory, he records it into the computer. This will help keep track of how many suits the store has in total to see how much more or less they need for the next shipment of stock, again determined by the Merchandiser. By doing the counts, they will be able to determine if there was any theft or if there is some sort of computer glitch.
Both reports are important in determining how many items should be shipped and when.
