Reset the numbers.
Rebuild the trust.
A focused, time-boxed engagement for operations where the inventory record can no longer be trusted. We clean it, count it, reconcile it, and hand back the routines that keep it honest.
Signs you need a reset, not another count.
- 01Adjustments are climbing and no one can explain them.
- 02Cycle counts are run, but nothing changes.
- 03The team has stopped trusting the WMS for putaway decisions.
- 04An auditor or a customer is asking questions you can't answer.
- 05Acquisition, system change, or leadership change has scrambled the baseline.
Four phases. Bounded and focused.
Diagnose
Pull the data. Walk the building. Identify where the system and the floor disagree and why. You get a written variance map before we touch a thing.
Stabilize
Stop the bleeding. Lock the locations that drive most of the variance, install daily counts where they matter, and clear the obvious noise.
Reset
Counted, reconciled, and signed off — slot by slot, lot by lot. Adjustments documented. Root causes named, not buried.
Sustain
Hand back the routines: cycle-count cadence, weekly inventory review, escalation rules, and the two reports the team will actually run.
The reset is the last reset.
We hand back clean baselines, written root causes, and a small set of standing routines the team owns from day one. The deliverable is an operation that doesn't need another reset — not a binder on a shelf.
