Overview: Extensive preparation is necessary for a full physical inventory. It is not practical to complete this preparation before each daily cycle count. It is equally difficult to conduct cycle counts only when a business is closed and there is no material movement. After all, cycle counting should be performed every day.

The article explains that because accurate on-hand quantities are vital to both providing outstanding customer service and maximizing inventory turnover, it is not surprising that more and more distributors and manufacturers are implementing cycle counting programs. Read on to find elaboration on the issue.
