Effective Cycle Counting

An 9-minute iPresentation by Daniel DeWald, CPIM, GP Allied

Discussion involves the differences between a physical inventory once a year and a daily cycle count. A daily cycle count is preferred because it provides a continual measurement of inventory accuracy that is visible to both management and storeroom associates. Storeroom preparation to make cycle counting effective is essential and the steps are discussed to make this happen. Also scheduling counters and assigning tasks create responsibility and achieve more accurate inventories.
