Industry Challenges
Human resources
instability
Modern human resources issues, such as the Great Resignation and job-hopping, are putting a strain on warehouse operations, thus increasing the need for the optimization of operations.
Inability to validate problems and solutions
It is difficult to commit to new solutions without validating the problem being solved and simulating how the proposed improvement will impact operations
Smaller spaces and
rising costs
Rising costs of warehouse are forcing businesses to relocate to smaller spaces, which makes efficiency and effective operations paramount to the success of the business. The popularity of just-in-time inventory system has risen because of this.
Difficulty implementing
just-in-time (JIT)
Modern human resources issues, such as the Great Resignation and job-hopping, are putting a strain on warehouse operations, thus increasing the need for the optimization of operations.
Key Steps of workflow
assessment and improvement:
Intake of Warehouse Parameters
Intake and processing of warehouse parameters (e.g., width of aisles, number of shelves, and types of shelves), operational metrics (e.g., cases dispatched and number of loads received), and KPIs (e.g., dock-to-stock cycle time and lines picked and shipped per hour).
Defining Optimization Requirements
Customers build the layout planogram of their warehouse and set optimization goals for operational metrics and KPIs.
Iterative Data Analysis
Warehouse profile data (parameters and optimization requirements) and all available solutions and their specifications are used to iteratively simulate warehouse operations post-implementation to identify optimal solutions.
Goal Analysis and Validation
Simulated operational metrics and KPIs are compared to the client’s optimization requirements and a final report is generated.
Reporting and Solution Referral
The Final report includes a list of optimal solutions and sources for their procurement, their post-implementation expected impact on operational metrics, KPIs, and ROI.
Adhering to Industry Best Practices
Our system can analyze and optimize the top performance metrics outlined in WERC’s DC Measures Annual Survey & Report, which is based on data collected from practitioner and 3PL operations members. The report represents a shared effort to produce a comprehensive, independent study of real-world distribution center metrics.
The Warehousing Education and Research Council (WERC) is the only professional organization focused on logistics management and its role in the supply chain.
