Abstract
If there is any warehousing job that is usually taken for granted, it is that of taking physical inventories. This job is considered a “necessary evil,” yet it involves a considerable investment in terms of resources—people, equipment, and time. While there are no magic solutions, certain systems, most notably bar coding, can help improve the accuracy and shorten the time needed for physical inventories.
