Abstract:

The report compares and evaluates the current UICP Uniform Inventory Control Point physical inventory selection method with PCM Penalty Cost Model. The report also evaluates the sensitivity of parameter changes in the UICP physical inventory program. Analysis of ICP inventories demonstrated that the number of inventories can be drastically reduced without adversely affecting requisition effectiveness while also increasing the net worth of taking the inventory. Thus, inventorying resources are used in a more cost effective manner. Modified author abstract
