Common Warehouse Concerns
Effective warehouse management focuses on several core areas:
- Cost control
- Efficiency
- Accuracy
- Cleanliness
- Safety
On the surface, managing a warehouse might look simple, but should any issues arise across one or more core areas, the effects can be far-reaching. The goal many warehouse managers have is to maximize performance in challenging conditions. Some of the more common issues facing warehouses include:
- Inaccurate inventory: Inventory inaccuracies can develop for many reasons and have a ripple effect throughout a warehouse. When a stock count is off, it can slow down the picking process.
- Poor layout: Ideally, a warehouse will maximize its layout, making use of both floor and vertical space. Poor layout slows down the picking process, makes it difficult to find stock and can put employees at risk of injury.
- High costs: From cleaning to stocking to picking, it takes a lot to make a warehouse run. Some warehouse managers find that their costs are high, which impacts a company's bottom line. Cost reduction options can include automation and better transportation.
- Redundancy: Automation can also help reduce redundancy when multiple workers handle the same ticket.
- Staffing concerns: Understaffing is a common problem at warehouses in New Jersey and across the country. Adopting automated warehouse equipment reduces the need for skilled labor in your facility. Your team can focus on more pressing concerns while the automated equipment tackles repetitive tasks.
