AL Systems Pick to Light solution at Delta Galil Featured in Modern Materials Handling Magazine

Dec. 13, 2010 - PRLog -- Rockaway, NJ - AL Systems, a leading provider of Warehouse Control System and Order Fulfillment solutions, announced today that its client Delta Galil, a leading global manufacturer and supplier of branded and private label apparel for men, women and children, has been featured in the December 2010 issue of the Modern Materials Handling magazine for increasing order picking productivity and accuracy with Pick to Light, Dynamic Picking, Dynamic Zoning and Productivity Management.

“Our pickers were doing 2,000 picks per day with paper,” explains Steven Seidman, vice president of supply chain at Delta Galil. “We were auditing 100% of the orders due to 97% pick accuracy. We desperately needed to increase capacity and accuracy without increasing the footprint of the distribution center.”

Since implementing the solution, Delta Galil more than doubled productivity and significantly reduced the number of pickers required to fill orders. Delta’s new minimum requirement for pickers is 3,500 picks per day at 99.5% accuracy. The system generates reports that measure productivity and accuracy rates by picker and zone. However, associates now average more than 4,000 picks per day at 99.95% accuracy and audit less than 7% of the orders. “We achieved payback on our implementation in about 13 months,” says Seidman. “We were expecting an 18-month ROI, but did much better due to the dramatic increase in productivity and accuracy.”
