This part of the job includes three steps:
Preparation
Collection of customer data and delivery of classified orders, pallet preparation, and other tasks.
Collection
Transportation to the locations where the different products are located, searching for them, and loading them to the operations area.
Verification
Verification that the packaging, boxing, sealing, weighing, and labeling are in order. This also includes transporting the products to the shipping area and preparing the carrier's packing list.
There are different ways to carry out picking, and while all are valid, some have a greater financial impact than others, as well as varying levels of initial investment.
Furthermore, several measures can be taken in storage systems based on the man-to-product principle. The first is to install warehouse management software that optimizes the number and length of operator routes.
Also, achieving a balanced warehouse and merchandise distribution will facilitate product picking operations. Staff operations can also be streamlined by eliminating the use of paper and using voice picking.
