Best Order-Picking Processes
An error that creeps into any process can ruin the overall performance of that process. This is the case with order-picking too, where error and damage-free picking are very important for the throughput of the warehouse or distribution center. The best order- picking processes that minimize errors and maximize profits are decided by the following factors:
- Layout and design of the warehouse or distribution center
- Product storage strategies
- Order picking strategies
- Nature of material handling equipment used
- Picking approach (single order, batch, cluster, bucket brigade)
- Order profiles and sizes
- Inventory deployment and accessibility
- Travel distances and times
- Operator training, proficiency, and attitude
