A move should be planned before move day . Inventory should be accountable at all times. Every item should have a known location. Pallets and staging packages should be prepared in advance. Movers should receive clear instructions. Returned inventory should immediately re-enter an organized system. Problems should be anticipated rather than discovered at the last minute.
