The Topic
 
PICKING - The Right Alternative for You
 

This presentation will focus on applying effective methods and equipment to optimize order picking and slotting. The increasing number of SKU’s and demand for “eaches”, packages or inner-packs from split (broken) cases requires different solutions to achieve the low cost and competitive picking required by today’s marketplace. Key elements required to analyze and compare various alternatives including shelving, carton flow and storage racks, carousels, pick carts, pick to light, voice, AS/RS and RF will be discussed. Customer service, productivity, cost, space utilization, accuracy, and ergonomics will be considered as part of this evaluation.
