5 Steps to Improve the Performance of your Warehouse

From Infor
 

 
Amongst distribution centers today, there is a growing schism between the "haves" and "have-nots". These companies are separated by a series of underlying enablers that serve as a spring board for more efficient operational processes. On one side of the rift stand companies with highly automated facilities. The day-to-day operation of the warehouse is planned and optimized with sophisticated Warehouse Management Software (WMS). Instruction is wirelessly sent to workers equipped with mobile computers, who execute the tasks and confirm their actions with bar-code scans. The location of every item in the warehouse is tracked in real time, and there is little or no administrative work required to operate the warehouse. On the other side stand companies operating with manual methods. Warehouse managers plan all processes and hand out stacks of paper instructions. Pickers roam the warehouse searching for product, with little or no ability to optimize their work.
