Inventory Record Accuracy Training

Two Day Course for Manufacturing & Distribution Companies

Inventory accuracy is critical for the operation of the Enterprise Resource Planning/Supply Chain Management business systems. Inventory accuracy can not be measured through a physical inventory or in dollars. Accuracy in a company's business system is only useful when measured in physical quantities compared to the computer record or balance. ERP/Supply Chain business systems do not work from information expressed in dollars.

World Class companies measure their inventory accuracy in the number of correct records compared to the total number of records counted through a cycle count. The cycle count is a statistical sample used to help achieve record integrity and provide a measure of accuracy.
