You finished putting all the pieces together and have shipped out the order. Everything that was supposed to be in it was there….right? Wait, where does this item go? Can we catch the truck before it hits the gate?
Unfortunately, it happens. For whatever reason, something was missed despite all the planning and paperwork that listed everything that was supposed to be in the order.
This blog from The SMS Group takes a look at inventory accuracy: what it is, how to measure it, and how to improve it.
It’s the goal of every company to get more done in less time. To this end, improving warehouse processes, such as increasing order picking accuracy, are critical goals. Picking thousands of items in a day can easily become an inefficient and mistake-prone affair if the right tools and technologies aren’t available for workers—and inefficiency breeds inaccuracy. Fortunately, there are many tools that can be used to increase efficiency, and thus, productivity and accuracy in your warehouse or distribution center.
