Cycle Counting
Inventory Management
Cycle Counting
Ongoing counting of selected inventory items so accuracy is maintained without relying only on an annual physical inventory.
Examples
- 01Cycle counting checks A items every month, B items every quarter and C items twice a year, so the full annual count is no longer needed.
- 02The warehouse review analyses cycle counting errors by item class and location to find where records go wrong.
- 03When cycle counting finds repeated errors in one aisle, the team discovers that returns were being booked to the wrong bin.
