This is a self-check, not an exam or a certificate.

Why check this now?

Find your gaps before an audit or a review does.

Too much stock ties up money, too little stops work, and records that do not match the shelf hide losses until the accounts are closed. Careful handling, sensible stock levels and a stocktake that explains every variance keep the figures right.

What does the assessment ask?

Rate each statement from Not yet to Always. These are the statements, by area.

Inventory planning

  1. Each stock item has a set minimum level and reorder quantity.
  2. I review usage trends before setting or changing reorder levels.
  3. I plan purchases to avoid both stockouts and excess stock.

Stock handling and records

  1. I check deliveries against the purchase order before accepting them into stock.
  2. Every stock issue has an approved request form or system record.
  3. I update stock records on the same day stock comes in or goes out.
  4. I issue older stock first for items with expiry dates.
  5. Store access is limited to authorised staff.
  6. I record every movement of office equipment between users or locations, and remove expired or damaged items from usable stock.

Stocktaking

  1. I do full stocktakes on a fixed schedule and cycle counts in between.
  2. At least two people do each count, and one of them does not manage the store.
  3. I stop stock movements or record a clear cut-off during a count.

Variance analysis

  1. I compare counted quantities with records and calculate the variance for each item.
  2. I investigate the cause of significant variances before adjusting records.
  3. Stock adjustments and write-offs are approved by management.
  4. I report variance trends and corrective actions to management.

Frequently asked questions.

Short answers to what people ask first.

How is my score worked out?

You rate each statement from Not yet (0) to Always (3). Your score is the percentage of the maximum points, and your lowest scoring section shows which course to look at first.

Does a high score mean I am certified?

No. This is a self-check of your current practice, not part of the Certifyd Office Inventory Manager assessment. The certification is earned by completing its core courses and assessment.

Who is this Readiness Check for?

Office administrators, store keepers and admin executives who order, issue or count office stock in Malaysia.

Is the Office Inventory Management Readiness Check free?

Yes. You can answer every statement and see your readiness band without signing up. Your email is asked for only if you want the detailed report and the PDF checklist.

Do you store my answers?

Not until you ask for your report. Until then your answers stay in this browser. After you confirm your email, they are kept with your report and you can delete them from any email we send.

What happens after the assessment?

Your report recommends one next step: the core course for your weakest area, or the full certification when you are ready.
