SCM 90

So my lobbying against a physical inventory seems to have paid off… we won’t be shutting down the DC for two weeks to count! OK, sales unhappy about being out two weeks of operation didn’t hurt either. We’re doing full physical light.
So, what that means is we’ll be counting the whole of the upper level…though we’ll be auditing to ensure 90%+ accuracy.
After that, we’ll just count the lower level locations only and see where we stand against our ERP’s numbers. Remember we have two systems telling us where the inventory is…major pain but this is the quickest way to get some counts in and identify problem children. After that I’ll sick my cycle counters on the items that really show any major discrepancies. I think that we should have a few but we’re getting more in line every day.
