I notice that you are using CimPath to process your cycle counts using bar codes. As you know, CimPath is no longer supported by SSA GT. I invite you to visit our website at www.rtdcs.com to review our offerings. We do support cycle counts as well as physical inventory transactions in our RT/CIM product. We are the SSA GT partner for automated data collection for BPCS. RT/CIM is available for BPCS versions 4.0.05CD through 8.0 and we are currently working on version 8.1. We do not require CimPath as a prerequisite. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at the phone number below. Wayne Boekenkamp REALTime Data Collection Solutions, Inc.

Borill Sent: Friday, May 31, 2002 9:53 AM To: bpcs-l@midrange.com Subject: Re: BPCS Cycle counting- process vs. resource requirements Barcoding is the way to go. We are running 6.02 PLF Aug 98 Cum. We generated the worksheets on demand and then shoot the cycle counts to the worksheet file. Anything that is shot and not on the worksheet goes to a 999999 worksheet. We then print standard BPCS reports. After all is said and done the person doing the cycle counts can review and make changes via an interactive process. They they select the cycle counts to post. The posting takes place as 'Y0 - Y5' transaction types via CimPath. These transactions represent anything from a bookmark indicating that a cycle count was taken, a bookmark indicating that the cycle count was deleted or an inventory adjustment. The process updates all of the fields that the normal BPCS two step cycle count performs. It is really slick. We are enjoying a 99.8% finished and wip inventory accuracy. We know exactly what we have and where it is at all times. >>> KLChilds@aol.com 05/31/02 09:37AM >>> Hello JB. I can see where BPCS Cycle Count could end up being a huge task in your case. Lot control makes it even more cumbersome and labor-intensive. We had some of the problems you describe when implementing cycle count, too. One of the workarounds we deployed was to work with the cycle count number of days to make it as effective as possible. Also, if there was a huge amount of items selected on a day, we counted what we could that day and allowed BPCS to select those uncounted the next day. We also took the approach of limiting the number of items we cycle counted at first, since most of the items had not been counted for awhile so they all were selected on our first attempts. We did this by tweaking the cycle count values in the item master. It can be done but it can be a tough process to get working properly. We are currently looking to automate the process via barcoding.
