Abstract : Inventory Accuracy is one of the critical factors of an effective Enterprise Resources Planning (ERP). The Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) faces inaccurate inventory balances in its warehouses that generate a negative effect throughout the entire organization with lost sales, material shortages, excess inventories and late deliveries. According to the work done in this project, it is found that inventory inaccuracy and errors at SEC warehouses are due to several factors such as: lack of procedures and documentation and reliance is made solely on oral instructions and very general guidelines that are communicated to employees, lack of standard accuracy measurements and inadequate tools, equipments and technology used by SEC warehouses to facilitate and improve the process of inventory counting. This thesis provided ways and means for correcting these deficiencies at SEC warehouses. In addition to this, a case study of applying cycle counting for items on the "A" class in the, ABC analysis, was conducted to demonstrate the advantages of using appropriate accuracy measurements methods. The case study showed that a saving of S.R. 1,020,702 was obtained and accuracy improved to 96.62% after conducting the cycle counting for class " A " items during the two months period considered.
