A Study on Inventory Management at Pantaloons

Inventory Management at Pantaloons

MBA project viva on inventory management practices observed during an internship at Pantaloons.

2

Inventory management tracks goods from receipt through storage, sales-floor replenishment, and dispatch.
Accurate inward verification and barcode checks help staff identify discrepancies before stock is shelved.
Retail teams also manage e-commerce picking, defective stock, and transfers between store locations.

3

The project examines inventory activities at Pantaloons through the perspective of practical store-level exposure.
Its objectives are to understand stock handling, observe verification steps, and identify operational challenges.
The scope includes inward stock, barcode checks, replenishment, online orders, defective goods, and transfers.

4

The study uses project-report information and internship observations; no unsupported figures are presented.
Observed activities include inward stock verification, barcode checking, and attention to inventory mismatches.
Practical exposure also covered floor replenishment, e-commerce order processing, defective stock, and outward transfers.
Internship observations are qualitative and approximate, and are kept distinct from published company-level information.

5

Consistent checking at receipt and barcode verification are important practical controls for retail stock handling.
Clear follow-up on mismatches and defective items can support more reliable store-level inventory processes.
Timely coordination for replenishment, e-commerce orders, and outward transfers supports daily retail operations.
The study concludes with internship-based learning; specific performance improvements are not quantified without report evidence.
