Mis-Picks Cost Manufacturers Profits and Consumer Confidence

Dec. 10, 2014 - PRLog -- The Picking Perfection newsletter reported the cost of a mis-pick is expensive for manufacturers. Reshipping costs alone consume any profitability in the initial B2C (Business to Consumer) omni-channel order. Implementing automated storage and retrieval equipment--such as horizontal carousels, vertical carousels, and vertical lift modules--multiple areas of a manufacturing or distribution facility will generate savings in inventory accessibility, floor space, time, improved ergonomics, and better accuracy. Ultimately some of the simple and least expensive solutions to ensure perfect and profitable picks are Pick-to-light (PTL) solutions. The modular, flexible, easily deployed (and redeployed for seasonal picks) PTL solutions have among the most rapid ROI of any materials handling technologies.


Picking Perfection, a weekly e-newsletter, shares methods, modes, and tools used in a variety of industries.  The weekly newsletter examines best picking practices. Leaders are looking for a competitive advantage, have dynamic and experienced sales forces, and have a corporate culture which is customer-focused and intent on building long-term relationships with satisfied customers. This is spoiled when a single product is not correctly picked.

Picking Perfection brings important and interesting information to those in the material handling, warehousing, distribution, and manufacturing sectors. From best practices to industry data, this weekly communique reports trend data, process improvement, and technology evaluations about picking, packing, shipping, and profitability.
