INTRODUCTION Despite great advances in manufacturing technology and management science, thousands of organizations still don’t have a handle on basic inventory record accuracy. Many companies don’t even measure it properly, or at all, and lack corrective action programs to improve it. This paper offers an approach that has proven successful a number of times, when companies were quite serious about making improvements. Not only can it be accomplished, but it can likely be done within 60 days per area, if properly managed. The hardest part is selling people on the need to improve and then keeping them motivated. The net cost of such a program? Very likely free, when one considers the benefits gained, which usually far exceed the costs.
