Warehouse Management
All warehouses will need to adjust their practices to changes that occur over time.
The Client Change Rationale
The warehouse could not deliver orders on time! Over the past years it has been discovered that the warehouse is not capable to pick and deliver orders on time. During high season the warehouse is three to four weeks behind in delivering orders to their privately owned stores.
Content Vision
Arrange the warehouse tasks, service activities and layout into a simple organized structure being the foundation and platform to design and develop a best in class warehousing operation. The warehouse is a macro planned space where one has to understand the warehouse dynamics in greatest detail to proactively manage; inbound, storage and handling and the outbound activities. In other words, one must have a clear understanding of the daily warehouse input, storage and handling and output capacities – to plan, set targets and allocate the warehouse employees with clear roles and responsibilities.
