ABC WORKLOAD PLAN- Annual count workload
- 5,700
- Average counts per working day
- 22.8
- Annual counting labor
- 475 hours
- Labor at daily capacity target
- 1.92 hours/day
- Extra annual capacity from rounding
- 50
A daily capacity target is not a dated schedule. Count records consistently and include recount effort separately.
BEHIND THE NUMBER
How the calculation works
A countable record is one SKU-location-lot balance, or another consistently defined counting unit. Multiply the number of records in each ABC class by its entered annual frequency, sum the workload, and spread it over working count days. The daily target rounds up for capacity planning; it can provide more annual capacity than the exact schedule requires.
Annual counts = sum(class records x counts per year); daily target = ceil(annual counts / working days)
When this calculation helps
Allocate an entered counting frequency to each item group, then compare the annual count workload with available count days. This exposes whether the intended policy fits the resources assigned.
Check the interpretation
ABC value classes alone do not capture transaction risk or critical stock. Include recounts, investigation, travel, and system corrections when planning practical labor. A scheduled count is not evidence that the discrepancy was resolved.
Example class frequencies are not mandatory standards. This is a workload estimate, not a dated count schedule or audit policy. Recounts, travel, investigations, and approval work must be included in average minutes or planned separately.
Oracle cycle count creation and schedulingGood to know
Should I enter SKUs or stock records?
Use the unit you actually count. A SKU in ten separately counted locations can require ten records, not one. Use the same record definition for all classes.
Are 12, 4, and 1 required frequencies?
No. They are editable examples. Select frequencies using your approved inventory-control and risk policies.
