Wednesday, December 8, 2021 Read more Manual Physical Inventory While it may be accurate (and I say MAY), is a Manual Physical Inventory the right way? Best practices would say absolutely not! The better way is implementing Cycle Counting. Why Cycle Counting instead of a full physical inventory? With a cycle count, the count focuses on a selected range of stock that can be carried out in parallel with a company’s normal operations.
