ABSTRACT:
A manual inventory control device and method of utilizing it is disclosed. The inventory control device includes a strip member and a method of attaching the strip member. The strip member has one or more sets of numbers positioned to coordinate with items of inventory held in a storage area for later distribution. The strip member is located such that the stored items block the view of a portion of the strip member, and as items are removed from storage a portion of the strip member containing numbers corresponding to the quantity of items remaining in the storage area is exposed. The exposed portion of the strip member may also contain a set of numbers indicating the quantity of items required to fill the storage area. The strip member may be utilized in vending machine applications and other product distribution applications where the inventory is sequentially removed.
