Day 387 – Year in Review: Flash Light

Yes, a very basic tool, but it comes in handy every audit. I found a small Mag-Lite works great when you are doing beer bottle counts in a cooler where shadows can make it difficult to complete the audit and the lighting is poor. Some stockrooms are very poorly lit, and in many bars the liquor is kept in a cupboard behind the bar with little or no lighting and a flashlight is a must. I have also had the pleasure of completing an audit in the dark during a power outage and a flashlight was a necessity. This is also where making sure your laptop is fully charged before you leave the office in the morning along with your hand held scanner and of course the rechargeable batteries that I talked about earlier. You just never know what you are going to come across when performing your audit.
