with 98% inventory accuracy we still lose items in warehouse
Hello everyone!
I work at a wholesale distribution company that has like $250M annual revenue and 2 large warehouses.
My manager thinks that inventory is under control. That’s because our cycle counts have 98% accuracy and ERP reports look clean.
But if you are in the real operations, everything is much more different. Warehouse workers often can’t find the items that are needed. Some SKUs show as available in the system but are missing physically. Sometimes we find those items after a couple of days in another location.
The worst part is that my boss reports incorrect data and I need to tell him that. How can I explain that reports aren’t that accurate and what should I propose to fix?
