Strategos Guide To Cycle Counting & Inventory Accuracy

Counting That Counts 

Quarterman Lee's latest book takes the mystery out of cycle counting. This is a book for practitioners who want inventory accuracy quickly and simply. It expands on our web articles with 74 pages, 34 illustrations and 11 tables.

Like our other Strategos Guides, it has clear, step-by-step instructions for the most common situations. Yet, it presents enough theory and background for a deeper understanding that allows adaptation to unique situations and circumstances. It explains the statistical aspects without the usual statistical notation and mathematics.

But, the real issue is inventory accuracy and cycle counting is only part of the solution. Without process improvement and transaction reduction, cycle counting generates wasted effort and may bring poor results. This book examines the whole picture and shows how to develop a comprehensive Inventory Accuracy strategy that meshes with Lean concepts.

"I want to thank you for one of the best presentations re: cycle counting, and general physical inventory control I’ve read.  At my current client your document was of great help in getting the warehouse staff to understand the power of the cycle count method of taking inventory. "
