Question restated: What is stock control?

Option a: A method that limits the consumption of items in stock, so that the available items are enough for a precise length of time. While stock control may involve managing consumption, this description focuses more on consumption control and estimating time, rather than the core function of stock control, which is to track quantities. This answer misses the primary purpose of enumerating current stock levels.

Option b: A method that enumerates how many items of each are left in the Housekeeping Storage, at a specific moment in time. This option precisely describes stock control as the process of counting and recording current stock levels for each item at a given moment, providing a snapshot of inventory. This aligns with standard definitions of stock control in operations where accurate stock counts are essential.

Option c: A method to calculate the number of items needed during a precise time. This describes demand forecasting or stock replenishment planning more than stock control itself. It focuses on future needs rather than the present inventory status.

Option d: A method that asks the Office supervisor to count the items present in the storage room at a specific moment in time. While counting by a supervisor could be part of a stock check, this option locates the responsibility to a person and a department and emphasizes a procedural step rather than defining stock control as a concept. Stock control is not limited to who performs the count, but what the practice aims to accomplish—accurate, up-to-date stock records.

Summary: The essence of stock control is to maintain accurate records of current inventory levels. Option b captures this definition most directly by describing an enumeration of item quantities at a given moment. The other options describe related activities (consumption limits, future needs calculation, or a procedural count by a supervisor) but do not define stock control itself as the ongoing accounting of stock levels.
