Cycle Counting and Inventory Accuracy--Online/Onsite
Five Weeks To Inventory Record Accuracy
Cycle Counting - Physical Inventories - Error Prevention - Transaction Reduction
Accurate inventory records are attainable. This seminar not only explains how, it guides your team through the design of an inventory accuracy program for your facility. Your team will decide how to:
Reduce the cost and frustration of Physical Inventories.
Setup and operate Cycle Counting to eventually replace physical inventories.
Find and eliminate the Root Causes of record errors.
- Reduce transaction volume to cut cost and reduce new errors.
