KPIs you are measured on

Top pains and how to handle them

Adjustments posted without a cause

Recount first, then find the cause (receipt, pick, unit of measure, location) before any adjustment is approved.

Counting everything once a year

Count A items more often than C items; a cycle count plan spreads the work and finds errors while they are fresh.

Expired stock found at year end

Track batches by expiry date and review the 'next 30 days' list every week with the planners.
