Giving incentive for the efficient employee gives a boost of morale and increase productivity.Nowadays, superiors used the strict method like threating, adding more workload not in the job description makes, and negative feedback always in meetings which make people resent the boss for being incosiderate or lack of empathy
Its one thing to pick faster but quite another to maintain safety of product and people, also when speed picks up significantly, the chance for errors to occur also rises.

1. Do I call amount asked to pick BEFORE I get grab it or AFTER I grab and put on pallet?
2. WHEN DO I CALL FOR NEXT ASSIGNMENT? Soon as I finish order or AFTER I wrap and drop off? (Using vocollect headset)
Cart picking effective for smaller quantity. In addition, fast picking must have to do with the location of the item. Item should be very near from the staging area for loading. Warehouse checker is essential. But in the end, its up to employer who is willing to invest in equipment, manpower and tools to speed up the operations
Great tips. We have a small warehouse, with lots of parts that aren't barcoded. Our system does not support bin picking, but the items could be barcoded at the shelf level so they would be scanned as they are picked onto the cart. Would this work to improve accuracy based on your experience?
Locations are necessary for put-away/replenishment. Put-away/Replenishment are necessary help accuracy so much. Adding barcode labels to everything will help, but you add costs/time receiving to label everything and then you have to scan everything on picking. It would work technically but not the easiest way to track inventory
I run a warehouse, and we replenish on the first and second shifts and pick on the 3rd starting at 5pm. We pick based off of sales orders that drop to our warehouse at 3PM. The first shift is long gone, and the second shift is about to leave when the orders have dropped. We run the case volume for that day's orders when the loads drop and we are finding our replenishment isn't 100% and we have to have a replenisher working while our team picks, causing delays. The only fix I can think of is to run case volume in the morning an do an average of last month's volume to ensure our pick floor is full as possible. Any thoughts?
Interesting challenges! The learning tools provided in this video definitely help with the picking process, but your challenges seem to include replenishing, fulfillment, picking traffic, and inventory turn over.
Replenishing outside of picking is always best and all but eliminates the bottlenecks that can occur will fulfilling orders. However, based on what you've shared, having less than 100% replenishment touches upon inventory control. Analyzing the inventory turnover ratio will help. Where weak or strong sales and/or excess or inadequate inventory levels will be identified.
With fulfillment, it seems same day shipping is not protocol with what you've shared as you've been processing orders since 5pm the previous day. So, if you're going to foster a high DIFOT (Delivered in Full and On Time) KPI, then inventory availability is a key component. So, with your example, either the inventory is not available or the putaway is not as efficient as you desire.
Last month's volume could help in figuring how much product to put out for replenishment, but many things can change and/or support the demand of your clientele. Therefore, it seems a good strategy would be to give more investigation into the inventory levels matching the demands of your clientele. Why? Because you may be replenishing something that does not need to be replenished today which may not allow enough time for the replenishment team to be at 100%. But again, they may not need to. Not sure if your products have been categorized as A, B, or C level movers. Such a move will help keep the fulfillment and cycle counts where they should and help create the type of availability and movement that predictably creates more revenue and profit.
Good Luck!
