Sampling the inventory storage locations instead of trying to do a full stock take saves this client millions (probably more). They have thousands of storage locations, carrying many, many thousands of inventory line items. Counting them all would require an army. And even though they didn’t used to try to count them all, they are now spending less time and less money than they used to. Where can you save time and money by using samples to measure, instead of trying to measure everything?

And even though they are spending less time and money than they used to, because of the way we designed the survey, they are getting much more integrity in their data. The secret here is in segmenting the storage locations and the line items by value, designing sample sizes in each segment that accommodate the variability
For almost three years, JR Andersen, CEO of mid-size software company Andersen High Tech (AHT), and his board have been uneasy. Business growth has been “OK” at eight percent but the market has been growing at a 15 percent annual rate.

Accounts receivable funding, also known as factoring, continued an upward trend in 2005 with volume exceeding $112 billion. This represented a 9.3% increase over the prior year, which is the strongest year to year growth rate since 2000. In fact, only 2001 was the only year in the past 20 that factoring volume did not rise. A/R

Because measuring with samples is less costly than measuring everything, you have the option to measure more frequently. Often it is just as easy to do monthly “pulse surveys” of small random samples of customers, as annual surveys of larger samples. But with annual measures, you have to wait a long time to work out if change is happening. Monthly measures (or other more frequent timeframes) more powerfully show you emerging and sudden change, and you can then respond before it’s too late.
