Although often ignored by many warehouse managers when optimizing warehouse operations, the put-away process is a critical step to increasing warehouse efficiency. The initial placement of goods has a direct impact on all subsequent warehouse processes, especially the picking process. If goods are not stored in the most appropriate location, there is an increase in traveling time and the time it takes to pick and pack goods.

Every company has logistics problems. The most common problem that I hear companies want to solve is understanding how compliant they are with their own routing guide. This includes both outbound and inbound freight. The second most common problem is looking for ways to cut their freight cost. Many companies will try to solve their logistics problems internally, but for a variety of reasons, they never quite get solved completely.

As a company, you will not survive if you cannot do both of these things simultaneously. Sound simple? Sure, but then why do so many supply chain professionals only do the back half? As I work with companies I continue to emphasize that it is important for our supply chain to drive revenue.
