7,500 items in inventory, 750 A items, 2,625 B items, 4,125 C items.
Policy is to count A items every month (20 working days), B items every quarter (60 days), and C items every six months (120 days)
How much the total items to be counted per day
Given :
Total inventory = 7,500 items
A items = 750
B items = 2,625
C items = 4,125
To calculate item A per day,
Quantity = 750
Cycle counting policy = Each month = 20 days
Therefore, 750/20 = 37.5 days = 38 per day
To calculate item B per day,
Quantity = 2,625
Cycle counting policy = Each quarter = 60 days
Therefore, 2,625/60 = 43.75 = 44 per day
To calculate item C per day,
Quantity = 4,125
Cycle counting policy = Every 6 months = 120 days
Therefore, 4,125/120 = 34.37 = 34 per day
To calculate total items A, B, C to be counted per day are :
38 + 44 + 34 = 116 per day
The total items to be counted per day are 116.
