Inventory Record Accuracy Summary

Inventory Record Accuracy: Unleashing the Power of Cycle Counting by Roger B. Brooks

Praise for INVENTORY RECORD ACCURACY

This updated version of Inventory Record Accuracy preserves its humorous and easy-to-read style. Supply chain practitioners, in traditional or lean manufacturing, will find it a helpful guide. Cleverly outlined, the rigorous yet simple process for both on-hand and on-order inventory provides accuracy levels required for real-time data systems.
-Maria Teodorovic, Quality Systems Manager Weyerhaeuser Corporation

Inventory Record Accuracy is truly a practitioner's guide. The book's collection of anecdotes provides real-life insight into the potential challenges of achieving IRA, and the combination of an easy-to-read text and simple drawings makes this book an easy road map to follow on the proven path to higher inventory record accuracy.
-John Dietz, Director, Manufacturing Resource Planning Lockheed Martin Space Systems

Brooks and Wilson are the experts on inventory record accuracy. Inventory Record Accuracy goes right to the core of the issues without a lot of soft-soaping. Every materials manager, stockroom manager, and cycle counting supervisor should have a copy within arm's reach.
-Adrian R. Barrett, 6 Sigma Master Black Belt Caterpillar, Inc.

Excellent coverage of a fundamentally important topic. By far, the best book on the subject I've ever read. The three-phase approach to inventory record accuracy should be required reading for all manufacturing managers.
-Edward W. Davis, Professor of Business AdministrationThe Darden School, University of Virginia
