Cycle counting is a continuous method of auditing small subsets of inventory daily rather than halting operations for a massive year-end stocktake. It maintains over 99.5% accuracy continuously, eliminates operational shutdowns, and enables trace-back of discrepancies within hours.

よくある質問
What is cycle counting and how does it differ from an annual stocktake?
Cycle counting is the practice of auditing small subsets of inventory on a continuous, daily basis, whereas an annual stocktake involves counting all physical inventory at once, which usually requires shutting down operations for several days.
Why is cycle counting more effective at finding the root cause of variances?
Daily counts narrow down the discrepancy window to 24-48 hours. This makes it easy for warehouse managers to trace recent transactions, consult specific shift workers, and inspect security footage to discover exactly why an error occurred.
How does cycle counting ABC analysis optimize warehouse labor?
It categorizes inventory into three groups based on value and turnover. Category A (high-value) items are counted frequently, while Category B and C (lower-value, slower-moving) items are counted less often, concentrating labor where it matters most.
What does it cost to implement a cycle counting system in Thailand?
It is a process adjustment, not a new software license. Implementation by professional consultants typically takes 25 to 50 man-days, billed at an average rate of 7,000 THB per man-day, covering process design, data cleansing, and staff training.
Do we absolutely need barcode scanners and an ERP to start cycle counting?
Yes, manual paper-based processes fail to support live cycle counts. Handheld barcode scanners connected to an ERP with auto-generated bin location schedules are required to update inventory balances accurately without freezing the entire system.
