Inventory Counting System

Periodic System

Perpetual Inventory System

Two-Bin System

Universal Product Code or Bar Code

1. **Inventory Counting System:**

- **Explanation:** Inventory counting systems involve periodically counting and recording the
quantity of goods or materials on hand to ensure accurate records.

- **Example:** A retailer conducts a monthly physical count of all items in its warehouse to compare
with the recorded inventory levels in the system.

2. **Periodic System:**

- **Explanation:** In a periodic inventory system, businesses update their inventory records at specific
intervals, rather than continuously tracking changes in real-time.

- **Example:** A small business might perform a physical inventory count at the end of each month to
reconcile with the recorded levels in the accounting system.

3. **Perpetual Inventory System:**

- **Explanation:** The perpetual inventory system involves continuously updating inventory records
in real-time as goods are bought and sold. It provides a real-time view of stock levels.

- **Example:** A large online retailer uses a perpetual system to instantly update its inventory
database when a customer places an order or when new stock is received.
4. **Two-Bin System:**

- **Explanation:** In a two-bin system, two containers hold inventory items. When the first bin is
empty, it signals the need for replenishment, ensuring a constant supply without the risk of stockouts.

- **Example:** An automotive repair shop uses a two-bin system for essential spare parts. When the
first bin is empty, mechanics know to reorder parts to avoid delays in servicing vehicles.

5. **Universal Product Code (UPC) or Bar Code:**

- **Explanation:** UPC or barcode systems use unique codes assigned to each product for quick and
accurate identification. Scanners read these codes to streamline processes like inventory tracking and
point-of-sale transactions.

- **Example:** A grocery store uses barcodes on product packaging. When a cashier scans the
barcode at checkout, the system automatically deducts the item from inventory and updates sales
records.
