Supermarket warehouses and distribution centers can adjust logistics to contribute to the efficiency of a picking system.
Roy Strauss, vice president and principal, Gross & Associates, Woodbridge, N.J., said warehouse operators need to address:
Intelligent product slotting. Evaluating order patterns and adjusting product positioning can aid operators in getting optimal work and yield.
Evaluate equipment. Shifting from a single-deep to a double-deep pallet jack, for example, means operators can get twice as much product per trip.
