Once the stockroom has reached 95 percent inventory record accuracy,don’t stop there. That’s merely the minimum number for running ERP successfully. Don’t be satisfied with less than 98 percent accuracy. Our experience has been that companies that spend all the money and do all the things necessary to get to 95 percent need only dedication, hard work, and good leadership to get in the 98 percent to 99 percent range. Make sure everyone knows that going from 95 percent to 98 percent is not merely an accuracy increase of 3 percent.It really is a 60 percent reduction in exposure to error, from 5 percent
to 2 percent. ERP will operate a good deal better with only 1 or 2 percent of the records wrong than with 4 percent or 5 percent.
