The Medical Center has employed a Store Keeper for the Supply Chain Department of the Medical Center. Regrettably, this Store Keeper has no previous experience with managing supplies and inventories for medical facilities.
The Store Keeper is an engineer and has previous experience in being a store keeper managing inventory for engineers. Dr. Charles has been receiving complaints from staff, nurses and doctors of the non-availability of medicines, drugs, spare medical surgical tools and other consumable supplies needed for the Medical Center.
