Improving Inventory Record Accuracy

Improving Inventory Record Accuracy: 

Getting your stock information right by Tony Wild (Author)
Publisher: Butterworth-Heinemann (October 1, 2004) |

ISBN-10: 0750659009 | PDF | 1,5 Mb | 144 pages

Record accuracy has become the focus of attention for many businesses because customers have higher expectations of the right item being delivered on time, and competitive pressures do not allow for extra stockholding. Businesses now have the opportunity to become much more effective given the correct information, the development of better communication and integration of systems. For inventory management, the pressure for most companies is to become more efficient and hold less inventory.

The accuracy of data has gradually been emerging in importance. The systems only work if the data is correct and with the introduction of integrated data, there are wide ranging repercussions for businesses that draw conclusions and make decisions based on inaccurate records.

Where there is a lot of data, there is the opportunity for many and large errors. This is often the case with inventory: many items, large varieties of different items, and fast changing inventory. Measuring how much there is becomes a challenge in many businesses such as consumer retailing and manufacturing processes where inventory changes so rapidly. With large warehouses there is also the risk of inaccurate recording so that items are not there or not in the right place.

Improving Inventory Record Accuracy initially discusses how to quantify the problem, set sensible targets for improvement and how to make the case for doing something to improve accuracy. The book then discusses why inventory records do go wrong and how to rectify the major causes of error. Finally the book illustrates the techniques with which everyone can make their records very accurate.

This is a practical book that solves a practical problem and shows the ways to improve record accuracy. Tony Wild has amassed many techniques over the years, has tried them out in practice and he presents them here in an accessible style for professional managers in logistics and stock control, retail/wholesale distribution. The book is also intended for use by students on Institute of Operations Management Certificate, DPIM, CPIM and DLM courses.

Book Summary of Introduction To Logistics Engineering

Core Principles for Engineering Success with Logistics In spite of the growing recognition of logistics as a necessary condition for business success, there is a lack of introductory literature covering the field's technical aspects. Inspired by the bestselling "Logistics Engineering Handbook," this fundamental text provides an accessible point of entry into this critical discipline.
The author introduces topics, such facility layout and location, from a historical and economic viewpoint. His unique engineering-oriented approach focuses on material movement problems, introducing solution tools and metrics. Each chapter includes either a brief case study of an industrially motivated problem or a tutorial using fabricated data designed to highlight important issues. The book delves into activities that commonly fill the workday of logisticians, including inventory control, material handling systems, warehousing, distribution center, and transportation design. The book closes with an excellent chapter on logistics as an integrating systems function.
Written by leading experts in the field, this comprehensive, but brief, reference provides a solid foundation in the core principles of logistics engineering.

In spite its importance, logistics engineering often lags industry requirements, especially in terms of engineering-based needs. Filling the gap between education and practice, this brief but comprehensive volume covers the most basic material in the field of logistics engineering, making is suitable for those who require an overview of the topic. The book discusses logistics from historical and economic perspectives, covers the basic tools required for the study and practice of logistics, and reviews the metrics that can be used to evaluate progress. It then delves into activities that commonly fill the workdays of logisticians. The book closes with an excellent chapter on logistics as an integrating systems function.
