BUSINESS PROCESSES
THE CORE OF ANY LOGISTIC OPERATION
Pearl Zhu
The processes of a warehouse or distribution center are essential for the success of the operation. They not only reflect the day to day activities of the operation, but also fulfil client, supplier and regulatory requirements like industry specific regulations, local / international laws, certifications, commercial agreements and more.
Furthermore, business processes have a direct relationship with the complexities of the logistic operation and the level of implemented technology. It is very common to find that manual operations have a less strict policy about on-the-floor practices and the documentation of its processes. Any initiative to introduce a new level of technology, whether it is Software or Hardware related, will require a revisit of existing practices and subsequently redefine processes and procedures.
Is your operation able to meet the businesses expectations? To help reflect on this question, below lists the most generic symptoms that indicate your warehouse could significantly benefit from reviewing and improving its processes.
- › Low productivity & performance
- › Human error in order fulfillment
- › Increase in customer complaints
- › Demotivated staff
- › Low inventory accuracy
- › Significant level of shrinkage
