Cycle Count and Physical Inventory Design and Execution
Cycle Count and Physical Inventory Design and Execution by Jan Young is a comprehensive engineering guide published by Lulu.com on March 20, 2010. This 77-page book is written in English and serves as an introduction for senior management and process engineers in the logistics, manufacturing, and distribution industries. It provides insights into the structure and implementation of cycle counting programs, detailing what can be achieved and the limitations involved.
Readers will find a thorough examination of the mathematical principles necessary for determining the optimal level of cycle counting, along with a sample program that outlines the training required for both workers and supervisors. The book also addresses the necessity of full physical inventories, the challenges related to accuracy, and the conditions under which these challenges can be mitigated. Additionally, it covers inventory-taking processes and the training and auditing requirements essential for effective management in logistics and supply chain operations.
Official synopsis Publisher
This engineering guide is intended as an introduction for senior management and process engineers in the logistics, manufacturing and distribution industries. It explains what can and what cannot be accomplished with a program of cycle counting. It describes how cycle counting should be structured and how it should fit into the organization. It reviews the math required to determine the optimum level of cycle counting and lays out a sample cycle counting program that includes the training required, both for the workers who actually perform the counts and for the supervisors who direct them and use the results.It discusses the reasons why full physical inventories may be necessary, the problems associated with accuracy, and the circumstances under which they can be eliminated. It reviews inventory-taking processes and discusses training and auditing requirements and can serve as a guide for the auditors and supervisors who specify and control the process.
