Definition & Explanation

Warehouse managers and stock planners use inventory frequency to determine how often stock counts occur. Frequency may range from daily (e.g., ABC cycle counting in high-velocity areas) to weekly, monthly, or annual. The choice depends on warehouse type, inventory volatility, and the cost of inaccuracy – fast-moving items justify more frequent counts, while slow-moving goods require less frequent verification.
