Cycle Counts
Cycle Counts for Manufacturers and Retail
Are you looking for help with cycle counts? Perhaps your staffing is short or you are having trouble generating consistent and accurate results. H and M Services can help!
Cycle counts of inventory include a specific smaller section of the organization’s overall inventory. The benefit of the cycle count inventory method is that it is less disruptive than full inventory and generally requires less staffing.
Benefits and Challenges of Using Cycle Counts
Businesses need cycle counts to maintain accurate inventory records but they encounter multiple standard obstacles. The accuracy of inventory records suffers from inconsistent counting procedures and time and labor constraints and frequent discrepancies between recorded and actual stock. The problems become more severe because staff members lack proper training which results in incorrect counts and data mistakes and inventory management difficulties.
H and M Services can help augment your counting staff and/or do training with your staff to improve the accuracy and consistency of your cycle counts.
Manufacturer’s Conduct Cycle Counts
In manufacturing, cycle counts are especially valuable because they help reduce overstocking and understocking, improve inventory accuracy, and optimize cash flow. Manufacturers can conduct cycle counts by defined zones, bin locations, shelf ranges, or other sections of the facility to regularly verify that system inventory matches what is actually on hand.
Identifying discrepancies early is especially important when materials or components are needed for production, since an unexpected shortage can result in a line-down situation that delays production, disrupts schedules, and increases costs.
H and M Services can perform cycle counts section by section, allowing manufacturers and warehouses to verify inventory accuracy without counting the entire facility at once. Counts can be organized by department, aisle, production area, storage location, material category, or other defined sections based on your operation.
This flexible approach allows specific areas to be counted on a recurring schedule while helping minimize disruption to day-to-day operations and maintain more accurate inventory information throughout the year.
