LN & Baan Tip: Unlocking Efficiency: Embrace Cycle Counting for Smoother Inventory Management

When it comes to inventory management, the term "Manual Physical Inventory" might sound accurate, but it's not the best practice by any means. Instead, consider implementing "Cycle Counting" as a more efficient approach.

Why choose Cycle Counting over a full physical inventory? The key advantage is that Cycle Counting allows you to focus on counting a selected range of stock concurrently with your regular business operations. This method streamlines inventory management, minimizing disruptions to processes related to stock receiving, consumption, and dispatching.

With Cycle Counting, you no longer need to "freeze" your operations or have your staff work long hours during holidays. You can achieve accurate inventory counts throughout the year. Crossroads RMC is here to assist you in implementing Cycle Counting efficiently and seamlessly. Contact us today to get started at 800.762.2077. Say goodbye to the dreaded three words and embrace a more efficient inventory management approach!

Establishing the Quantity On-Hand and the Quantity Available.

LX maintains buckets for information associated with the following inventory transactions for each item:

  • Opening Balance
  • Issues
  • Receipts
  • Adjustments
  • Allocations for the Customer
  • Allocations for Manufacturing

The on hand quantity does not include any allocations. To arrive at the on hand quantity, start with the opening balance, less any issues, plus any receipts, then add or subtract any adjustments. Available inventory is the on-hand less any allocations.

Efficiency is something we all strive for in our personal lives and at work. How can manufacturers increase their efficiency? Take a hard look at the 4 key areas:

  1. Planning
  2. Bill of Material and Job Accuracy
  3. Inventory Planning
  4. Real Time Reporting / Processing 

Need help figuring out how to become more efficient in each of these areas? Contact us, we’d be happy to help.
