Book
Description: Inventory accuracy starts with an understanding
of the conditions under which errors occur and ends with error-resistant
processes, intelligent use of technology, a well-trained and highly
motivated workforce, and an ongoing process of continuous improvement. In
between, there’s cycle counting, root cause analysis, process evaluation,
user interface design, procedures, employee training, accountability,
control methods, process checks, audits, exception reporting, transaction
techniques, measurement, counting methods, bar codes, RF systems,
speech-based technology, light systems, and software.
Inventory Accuracy: People, Processes, & Technology
covers all of these topics and more in a comprehensive treatment of the
subject of inventory accuracy in distribution, fulfillment, and
manufacturing environments. In addition to documenting the standard tools
and techniques used to achieve accuracy, the author provides insights as
to why many of the standard solutions don’t provide the best results and
offers alternative methods. The focus on practical solutions that take
into account the sometimes-conflicting priorities that affect accuracy,
results in an approach that not only looks good on paper, but more
importantly, works in the real world.
