Blind Counts vs Guided Counts
Blind Count: The counter does NOT see the system quantity. They enter what they physically count. This prevents bias.
Guided Count: The counter sees the expected quantity and just confirms or adjusts. Faster but potentially less accurate.
Tips for Accurate Counting
- Count during low-activity periods
- Don't move items while counting
- Use barcode scanning to confirm product identity
- Double-count high-value items
- Document any damaged or misplaced items
