Follow on Google News | Picking Zones Properly Implemented Prove Profitability According to Picking Perfection NewsPicking Zones Properly Implemented Prove Profitability According to Picking Perfection News
By: Pcdata USA Logistics News' contributor Cliff Holste reported when a distribution center manager is considering adopting a pick & pass zone picking system, essential questions should be asked. How many picking zones are needed to address how will the system direct the pickers? Can the number of pick faces within a zone be increased or decreased? (Look for flexibility in zone configuration relative to SKU slotting.) Can the system support more than one picker in a zone - working together on the same order or on different orders? (In this case look for the ability to handle peak volume periods.) Can the zone boundaries be easily changed? Is zone size dynamic or static? Are the pickers picking one order at a time or a cluster of several orders? Can zones overlap? Breaking orders into picking zones requires a robust WMS order processing and SKU slotting optimization functionality. 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 on trend data, process improvement, and technology evaluations about picking, packing, shipping and profitability.
