About the Topic: Inventory Accuracy The Lean
Way
Does your company want to
have high inventory accuracy and does not want to spend a lot of time or money
to reach the accuracy goals?
Have you (or someone
else) in your company conducting cycle counting and seem to be in the perpetual
spinning wheel without making much progress?
If you could wave the
Magic Inventory Wand, do you know what parts you would review and correct
first?
Come to the meeting and
join a lively discussion and options to improve inventory accuracy using lean
methodologies. Hopefully you will learn an idea (or two) to take back to work,
or present during a job interview!
