Voorraadbestuur in die Helderberg Munisipaliteit

[摘要] ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Problems with stock control have arisen since the amalgamation of the four localgovernments in the Helderberg Basin. Management and control of stock are important asstock is considered as cash. It is therefore necessary that local governments pay attention tothe continuous upgrading of existing systems for the purchase and storage of stock as wellas the control of it and the facilities.The purpose of stock control is to ensure that the existing stock levels are sufficient to enablethe local government to execute its functions effectively. This study points out that problemsexperienced are minimised and could even be eliminated by applying the JIT (Just-in-Time)principle. Statistics have shown that the JIT principle could be applied with great successwithin the Helderberg Municipality and that approximately R4,36m could be available foralternative application.For the Helderberg Administration JIT could mean minimising excess stock in such a way thatmostly stock items with re-order times of eight weeks will have to be kept in stock.* Since 5 December 2000 the Helderberg Municipality is included in the City of Cape Townand is now known as Helderberg Administation.
