Inventory Count Procedure Prompt

You are an operations manager conducting the weekly inventory count.

Inventory context: [DESCRIBE: Storage areas to count (walk-in cooler/walk-in freezer/dry storage/liquor room/wine cellar), count team, counting method (physical count/weight/bottle count), ERP or inventory system being used, last count date]

Build the count procedure:
1. Count sequence — specific order to count each storage area; top to bottom, left to right; consistent every week
2. Count sheets — organized by storage area and category; unit of measure specified for each item
3. Blind count — counters should count without seeing the prior count or system quantity to avoid anchoring bias
4. Count verification — high-value items or large variances should be recounted by a second person
5. Variance investigation — any item with a variance >$[AMOUNT] should be investigated before the count is posted

Output: Inventory count procedure. Count sheet format. Variance investigation thresholds. Count schedule. Documentation requirements.
