So we give you the top four ways to tune up your warehouse management system.
Let’s figure out each way quickly.
The first way is to look over Your Warehouse Organisation
Your firm should have a system in place to regularly monitor the organisation of your warehouse.
This is usually done by cycle counts and occasional quality control inspections.
However, making sure the aisles are clean, and the shelf labels are in good condition should be part of your daily practice.
The second way is to Re-evaluate training
Keeping your employees well-trained is critical to your overall performance.
If your warehouse has a high turnover rate or you’ve employed more workers for peak season, make sure you’re taking advantage of the chance to review training across the board.
The third way is to Check That Code – These days, almost every company is investing in bespoke Warehouse Management Systems.
This implies that customers are paying for the developers’ continuous assistance and coding skills.
If you find that any system elements aren’t operating as they should or have recurrent problems, make sure you document the issue and rectify it.
The last way is to Inspect Your Equipment
One of the most common complaints we get from warehouse employees is that their RF guns or mobile devices are sluggish, cumbersome, or do not function.
Companies frequently neglect to repair equipment that has suffered excessive wear and tear, forcing staff to reboot workstations or struggle with connectivity problems repeatedly.
This may be avoided by examining all of your equipment regularly and replacing any items that are no longer functional.
