Nonprofit Vision Access programs should review inventory after each meaningful distribution cycle and reorder when remaining supply will not cover expected utilization through the next replenishment date.
Match review cadence to the program
- daily or weekly recurring outreach may need frequent inventory checks
- monthly events can review after each event
- multi-site programs should track inventory by location
For readers
Review remaining inventory by power, not only total frames.
For sunglasses
Compare distribution volume with remaining stock and the next scheduled outreach period.
Use actual utilization
Replenish from frames distributed, inventory remaining, and upcoming service volume rather than a fixed retail cadence.
Vision Access programs do not provide eye exams or diagnosis.
