Warehouse Performance: Discovering and fully exploiting potential in the warehouse (Part 1/4).

Let's start like this: every warehouse - whether large or small, manual or automated - provides a service. But this is not about evaluating the performance of your warehouse. Instead, we will show you ways to improve your warehouse performance. We asked ourselves the question: "How can we change the picking process so that it improves measurably?" As a provider of warehouse management software, however, we can only talk about the ways in which warehouse management software can help to increase efficiency in the warehouse.

Especially in large warehouse facilities with several levels, aisles, storage spaces and lots of articles, companies repeatedly waste far too much potential. To put it bluntly: Anyone who reserves order after order arbitrarily or picks solely in the order of order entry or priority loses efficiency.

Our recommendation for the best possible performance in the warehouse is not to run faster, but to store, plan and pick more efficiently. But what needs to be improved, or in other words, what is the best way to start? In our view, there are 3 possible optimization phases under the keyword "warehouse performance":

1. optimization of inventory reservation
2. Optimization of batch planning
3. Application of the "Warehouse Healing®" strategy

Your benefits: shortened delivery times, increased customer satisfaction, relieved employees and increased efficiency in the warehouse.
