Turn Your DC into a Profit Machine
Combining better picking and packing processes results in reduced labor, increased order accuracy and order shipment flow!
What’s more lean than combining pick, pack, and ship into a single continuous process?
Wring out excessive labor costs and bottlenecks that limit profitability and add unnecessary expense. Lean efficient processes-automation enhanced can turn your DC into a continuous order flow process, improving order throughput and accuracy.
When evaluating process automation the question is “Where to start?” Do you improve picking or improve the flow in the pack and ship area? All three processes are tightly interrelated, so the answer is yes!
First step is evaluating and improving: slotting, ergonomics, reducing touches, pick methods, and travel path optimization. Second step is assessing the right automation technologies that magnify the performance of the improved process.
The combination of lean process - automation enhanced; yields far higher gains in operational productivity across the entire order fulfillment process.
Let’s start with picking. Industry averages show that more than 50% of distribution labor cost is spent in order picking - Download this White Paper and find out more.
