Inventory management is effected by managing the accuracy of all inventory transactions and records. The company’s production system (this can be anything from a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet to a fully turn-key Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system) maintains the audit trail of all production inventory.
To this end, there are three areas to focus on, and these include Transaction Records, Physical Inventory, and Cycle Counting.
