Counting selected portions of inventory regularly instead of counting all stock at once.
Cycle counting checks individual items or selected areas of inventory on a recurring schedule. Staff count the physical stock, compare the result with recorded quantities and investigate differences before making appropriate record adjustments. Spreading counts across the year provides repeated checks on inventory accuracy without requiring every item to be counted in one exercise. A full physical inventory can still be used alongside the cycle counting programme. The defining feature is the planned repetition of partial counts, rather than the size of any single discrepancy.
