Abstract

The study is persuaded by concerns for improved performance in inventory management in Public Service Organisation, recognising all components/entities to be contributory to its ultimate output. Obsolescence, unwanted heap of stock items, have adverse effects on organisational budgets whiles poor quality stock items or their shortages could affect uninterrupted flow of business. An analysis of the reliability of discretion of storekeepers in relation to the above phenomenon is conducted to establish whether they were contributory to the problem. It was observed that, Storekeepers with 10years or more working experience were better at exercising discretion for managing obsolescence, and most store challenges regarding the unwanted heap of stationery, stock quality and issue quantities correlated with poor discretion of storekeepers, especially, those with non-tertiary or equivalent level of education.
