Simple Steps on How to Improve Warehouse Employee Productivity

August 28, 2017

The movement of goods through a warehouse in a timely manner depends upon a variety of factors including efficient employee productivity. Management needs to make every effort to keep this at an optimal level to ensure effective, accurate and timely order fulfillment. Only through this, will your clients keep your company as their supplier. It really only takes a few simple steps to improve warehouse employee productivity, and we provide them in the list that follows.

Maximise Use of All Available Warehouse Space

By organizing your available warehouse space in the appropriate manner, you can maximise the use of all of it. This allows the employees to move through the warehouse smoothly during the course of a day. As a result, they can perform tasks in a timelier manner and increase their productivity rate.

Barcode All Merchandise and Use Complementary Software for Efficient Tracking of Inventory

When you barcode merchandise and use complementary software to track all incoming and outgoing stock, you increase the accuracy of your inventory. Also, it is easy to spot which products have too much or too little stock to suit current demand.

Streamline Your Methods of Goods Reception, Stocking and Shipping

Focus considerable attention on making your methods for reception, stocking and shipping of goods as streamline as possible to facilitate the processes. For starters, the area adjoining the loading docks needs to be clear of unnecessary machinery, equipment and stock to ensure that the employees have sufficient space to receive incoming goods or to transfer outgoing ones to the appropriate trucks for delivery or shipping. In addition, develop other methods as necessary that are pertinent to your specific type of goods to help.

Provide Adequate Work Space for Employees

The employees must have adequate space to move about in to perform their daily duties in an optimal manner. If you fail to do so, the employees spend excessive amounts of time avoiding or moving the obstacles in their path.

Develop Set Procedures for Order Fulfilment and Packing

Create specific procedures of order fulfilment and packing to guide your employees in both functions. By asking them to perform these actions in the same manner with each order, you ensure quality control and help the employees to be accurate in their actions.
