		With the help of "Charles," (a fictional cycle count expert) we will review and challenge traditional cycle counting methods, goals, and measurements. The increasing challenge of minimizing inventory while maximizing customer service is addressed using some innovative views on who, what, when, and how to perform cycle counting in a value-added supply chain manner.
