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 reduce overstocking and understocking which can optimize cash flow. Manufacturers will usually identify a zone, bin location or shelf range when they conduct cycle counting.
Retailer Cycle Counts
For retailers like grocery stores, you might just focus on the cereal aisle. Cycle counts are especially useful in grocery stores because of high volume and perishable goods, where keeping up-to-date inventory is crucial for reducing waste and maintaining customer satisfaction.
