If you have one or more of these
nagging warehouse space problems,
What Can You Do?
-
If
you need more warehouse space and don't want to (or
cannot) move, then you need to squeeze every ounce of cube out
of your present building. We have often increased both pallet
storage and pick slot capacity by 50% or more, giving clients one
or two more years of "breathing room".
-
If
you are plagued by "shipping errors", then
you need a way to verify that the right amount of the right item
was picked for every order. An inexpensive system that will have
your pickers scanning each item for accuracy and count, can give
you 99.9% order accuracy
-
Low
order-picking productivity can be cured by
"batch picking" 20+ orders onto a multi-shelved pick
cart. Combine this with an amazingly effective
"fishbone" picking layout, 100% pick verification, and
picking directly into the shipping
cartons.
Think about it - Checking
becomes a randomly selected and occasional activity.
Packing involves merely stuffing and taping the cartons,
and sending them directly onto the shipping dock. Achieve
error-free piece pick rates of over 300 lines per hour, and the
ability to cut man-hours substantially.
-
If
you are about to make major changes or move into a new facility
to get more warehouse space, and you want to be sure to "get it right" this time,
be sure and get professional help as early as possible. Because we design so
much efficiency into the layout and slotting, we
are often able to save clients thousands of dollars
planned for a too-large facility and unnecessary expensive
equipment!
How
can you be sure you are getting
the expert warehouse space help you need?
Answer these
questions:
-
Are they specialists in
saving warehouse space or just generalists?
We deal with the "whole picture",
but
the first step is to design
or redesign
the use of warehouse space.
-
Are they completely
independent, or do they "partner" with equipment vendors
whose product they may push?
We will help you find what you need,
but we have no
supplier partners, and never will.
-
Will the principal expert be
working directly on your project or will you be assigned an intern
or recent grad? Art
is always the "Master Craftsman".
Any assistance is "grunt-work" only!
-
Will they really listen to you
describe your needs and explain what they will do before you sign
on? We
want and need to know as many details as possible up-front, to
determine if we are the right consulting company for you - and
the plan begins to develop as we talk.
-
Will they tailor the project
to your very specialized needs? This
is precisely why we want as much
information from you, as soon as possible.
-
How strong is their guarantee?
Do they walk their talk? Our
guarantee is absolute - we will continue to
work until you are completely satisfied - at our expense, not yours!
-
Be sure to ask for references
from recent clients. Not
only do we have many references listed on our site, but there are
more - and we will also
help you contact them!

P.S. Many clients have discovered that if they save only
one employee's salary, their total study investment is returned the very next month, and for every month
thereafter. This is a 1200% Annual ROI! There are few investments
you could ever make that will pay you back so well and so quickly!

I wanted to say that all your suggestions work great! Thanks so much.
Secondly, in the later part of May, we will be moving out of our current
facility into a new one. I was wondering if I gave you the layout could
you draw up a design. You told me if there were ever changes, just ask for
a new layout, so here I am. Thanks a lot!" Bob V., Owner, New Kensington, PA
