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. Improving Inventory Record Accuracy discusses: * how to quantify the problem and set sensible targets for improvement * how to make the case for doing something to improve accuracy * why inventory records do go wrong and how to rectify the major causes of error.
