Accurate Quantity and Quality Control in Package Handling and Warehousing

July 11, 2017

All companies that receive, store and ship goods need to realise the importance of accurate quantity and quality control in their package handling and warehousing methods. When they fail to do this, they are unsure of their inventory counts and goods do not move through the warehouse in an expeditious, accurate manner, which leads to customer dissatisfaction. When this occurs, it negatively affects profitability. We offer the following tips to prevent issues in your warehousing efforts.

Utilise Barcodes and Other Labelling Methods to Identify Products

All goods should have a unique barcode or other type of label to identify what they are, and at times, you can include their location in the warehouse depending upon your computer software program. The location can even be placed on the order sheet to expedite order fulfilment.

An Accurate Inventory Is a Necessity

Another use for the above labelling methods along with computer software is to help track incoming and outgoing merchandise. This increases the accuracy level of your inventory and ensures that you will always know what you have in stock, the items you need to order and even those items that are overstocked.

Allot Specific Locations for Incoming Goods

Allocate locations for incoming goods until the workers can place them in their storage locations. By doing so, you help the workers to move swiftly with the reception process for goods. After they finish this process, they need to label and place the goods in their proper storage locations.

Handle and Pack Goods Properly to Prevent Unnecessary Damage

Always handle and pack goods in the proper way according to their classification to prevent any damage from occurring to them. Also, during the picking process, workers need to check all items to ensure that they only send out ones in pristine condition. This increases customer satisfaction at the other end of the line.

Double Check Outgoing Goods for Accurate Shipping

Before workers pack and ship goods, the orders need to be checked for accuracy. When customers receive the wrong item, they return it and request a reshipment of the right one. These additional processes cost you money and negatively affect your bottom line. Also, you may lose future business from these customers.
