COSYS inventory service helps German manufacturers reduce production downtime

Annual inventory counts in German factories pause production, turning each counting hour into lost output and risking delivery commitments. Many companies postpone planning until autumn, creating time pressure that extends these stoppages, especially in complex warehouses with mixed raw materials, work‑in‑progress and finished goods.

COSYS offers a complete inventory solution that includes ready‑to‑use loan devices, specialized software and on‑site support. The system defines counting locations, allows primary and secondary counts, and provides dashboards that monitor progress in real time. Flexible scheduling lets firms align inventory work with production pauses or maintenance windows, cutting the counting period and accelerating the restart of operations. Early preparation of master data and clear counting plans are highlighted as key to minimizing downtime.

By adopting this approach, manufacturers can keep inventory pauses short, maintain production schedules, and deliver accurate records for internal management and auditors.
