Editorial Review:
Inventory accuracy starts with an understanding of the conditions under which errors occur and ends with error-resistant processes, intelligent use of technology, a well-trained and highly motivated workforce, and an ongoing process of continuous improvement. In between, there’s cycle counting, root cause analysis, process evaluation, user interface design, procedures, employee training, accountability, control methods, process checks, audits, exception reporting, transaction techniques, measurement, counting methods, bar codes, RF systems, speech-based technology, light systems, and software. Inventory Accuracy: People, Processes, & Technology covers all of these topics and more in a comprehensive treatment of the subject of inventory accuracy in distribution, fulfillment, and manufacturing environments. In addition to documenting the standard tools and techniques used to achieve accuracy, the author provides insights as to why many of the standard solutions don’t provide the best results and offers alternative methods. The focus on practical solutions that take into account the sometimes-conflicting priorities that affect accuracy, results in an approach that not only looks good on paper, but more importantly, works in the real world.

Average Customer Rating: 
A very, very basic book...there has to be better  2007-05-28
This book is very basic and appears to be very dated. Several times I had to look at the copyright date to ensure it wasn't that hold. With a copyright date of 2003, I thought it would contain more up-to-date information. If you want very, very basic information, than buy this book. If you are already in warehouse distribution, this book will not help you at all. The advice that is given is so basic and not very helpful.
Inventory Accuracy 101  2007-01-23
Book is written using easy to understand terminolgy. Glossary was invaluable tool.
Piasecki is the Man 2007-01-03
David Piasecki is a very knowledgable fellow. But more importantly, he has the ability to communicate like an average Joe, not some academic.
This book is easy to read, and has lots of funny cartoons anyone dealing with warehousing or inventory can appreciate.
As far as actual content, Piasecki discusses what works, what works better, and the reasoning behind all of this. His many years of experience clearly shine through in this read.
Check out his website too, it has alot of useful information that compliments the book.
Inventory Accuracy in action 2006-09-21
As a cost analyst for a mid-sized manufacturer, I found this book invaluable for setting up analyses of cycle counts, and it was THE guide for putting together a full physical count process when our parent company demanded it. It's a pleasure to read (yes, this, a book on managing inventory, is a PLEASURE to read!); Piasecki's take on what a physical count is REALLY like is priceless. He really has a complete grasp of what it means to have human beings managing inventory. See his chapter on what machines and humans each do best.
Takes a dfficult subject and make it easy to understand... 2005-10-05
Fantastic and essential resource for those wishing to understand and implement inventory accuracy and cycle counting in their business practices.
