Training Kit—Cycle Counting & Inventory Accuracy
Cycle Counting & Inventory Accuracy
Train Your Own Cycle Counters
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. The program is based on Mr. Lee's book, The Strategos Guide To Cycle Counting and Inventory Record Accuracy and on our in-house training program.
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.
