What this sheet is for
Stop running out of the one thing that halts the studio, by counting it against a reorder point you set instead of noticing when the box is empty.
Who it is for
Any craft studio, workshop or maker space that buys consumables: potters, woodworkers, jewellers, printers, glass and leather workers.
How to use it
- List each consumable once with its size, grade or spec and the supplier's code.
- Write in the level at which you reorder it, based on how fast you use it and how long your supplier takes.
- Count the stock on the count date and enter the figure.
- Fill in the order quantity for anything at or below your reorder point.
- Tick the ordered column when the order goes in, and date the sheet.
What is on the sheet
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: The things a studio runs out of on a Saturday — blades, abrasives, glue, gloves, wire, thread, solvent — listed once with where they come from, then counted and reordered on the same line.
Your reorder point. How low a thing can get before it is reordered is your call, based on how long your supplier takes and how fast you use it. The reorder-at column is for your figure; there is no suggested level anywhere on this sheet.

Questions
Why is there no suggested stock level?
Because a full-time production studio and a weekend maker use the same blade at very different rates, and suppliers vary in how long they take. The reorder point is yours to set; the sheet makes sure you count against it.
How is this different from a general stock take?
A stock take counts everything for its value. This is about the things that get used up and need buying again, and it is built to be walked round the studio with a pen, not filed with the accounts.
