1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND

Stores management is very closely linked with production and distribution and is a much neglected area of business study. Yet the stores function is a vital part of all industrial organization, public and private utility organization; and armed services, and it must be designed to suit the particular needs of the organization and its services.
The store keeping is set up in any concern to assist in the production of goods and services and no industrial unit or public undertaking of substantial size can be efficiently managed without it.
According to Uzor (2003 :1) defined a store as any space reserved and equipped for holding materials which are awaiting dispatch customers for further processing and final consumption. The storekeeping is therefore basically concerned with holding stock and for there to be an efficiency of storekeeping, there are things people would want to know, such things according to Uzor (2003,2006:11) are as follows.
1. To whom they are responsible
2. Whom is expected of them. Their duties
3. Who is responsible to them
4. Whether their efforts are appreciated
5. Whether they are or not performing the duties satisfactorily

3. Some organization view storekeeping as an irrelevant function in the organization, therefore the management have little or no knowledge of the activities going on in the store.

1.5 RESEARCH QUESTION
This research work was conducted in Anambra state and methods have been applied by me in collecting primary information that help in the progress of the companies.

1.6 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
Because of limited time, some other constraints such as finance and materials, this study is specially carried out in Anambra state.
This research work will look not the extent to which proper storekeeping in the operation of store function effect the operation and performance of the manufacturing sector in Nigeria. Due to limited true factor and finance available to urge and in order to ease data collection, this research will be restricted in Anambra Emros industries.

1.7 LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
While carrying out this research, I was confronted with a number of problems. Some stemming for the fact that most workers find it difficult to disclose information.
A lot of research questions were drawn by me in my personal interview with management and staff of the company.
The following are the research questions conducted by me,
1. What are the major roles undertaken by a storekeeper in a manufacturing company,
2. What are the benefits of storekeeping.
3. What are the responsibility of the officer with regard to store security
4. What are the major problem and objectives of storekeeping.
5. What are types of materials held in a typical industrial stores.
6. What are the advantages of store standardization
7. What are the reasons organizations hold stock.
And some who care do not give adequate and at times useful information
Also most of these respondent where top executive of the companies and therefore they chain to be very busy, and several calls were made and some of them could not spare time for oral interview which should have served any other thing “a present”.
Other constraints encountered include time, finance, a covering note and constant power failure by NEPA.
TIME: I have to cope with lecture as well as the research work. In this approach this make to the tedious.
FINANCES: Ordinarily, data collection is an expensive venture coupled with economic situation owning to the nature of research. I have to travel from my institution to some companies and offices paying much attention to them.
The exercise was compounded with financial difficulties as a result of high cost of station arise and all other factors connected with the project.
A COVERING NOTE: I was requested from companies to get a covering note from my head of department before I would be allowed to go into companies.
These serve as a big obstacle or hindrance for me not to acquire more information.
CONSTANT POWER FAILURE BY NEPA: This was another problem I encountered during this research. Due to constant power failure by NEPA I was only to read other book in the night.
