3-day Virtual Seminar

Cycle Counting & Inventory Record Accuracy (IRA)

Overview

In the purest form, Cycle Counting selects random SKU numbers, physically counts the stock, and reconciles the count with the corresponding inventory record. However, in most situations, this requires an enormous number of counts to obtain high accuracy. This program shows how to make Cycle Counting practical and how to measure the results.
