Just a refresher on a tip I’ve shared previously from Supply Chain Technology Bulletin regarding how to attain greater inventory accuracy. I thought it would be worthwhile to share again:

• Record data regarding your inventory as soon as the items arrive at your door / receiving dock. With information, you can make decisions. Without it, you waste money, time and effort.
• Leverage data collection, label generation and RFID solutions to make your life easier.
• Set inventory accuracy goals for the business and for employees.
• Train your employees so they know what is expected of them, and how to best perform their job and therefore how best to maintain accurate inventory counts.
• Count the inventory – and do it regularly. Find a method that works best for your employees, and for your business.
