What is a Cycle Count?
Cycle Count is a method of inventory control in shipping and logistics that involves regularly counting a subset of inventory items on a rotating basis, rather than conducting a full physical inventory count at once.
The purpose of cycle counting is to ensure that inventory records are accurate and up-to-date, and to identify and address any discrepancies or issues with inventory levels before they become larger problems. By counting a small portion of the inventory on a regular basis, cycle counting allows for more frequent and targeted monitoring of inventory accuracy, which can help reduce the need for costly and time-consuming physical inventory counts.
