What are the Steps to Upgrade Your Warehouse and Packaging Efficiency and Accuracy? Consult Challenge

April 13, 2021

Nearly every business that deals with the distribution of physical products has wrestled with warehouse space limitations at some point, trying to make the best use of it, especially successful companies that are constantly growing out of room in their warehouses and storage areas. When there is not enough storage, inventory can easily encroach on working space, and efficiency drops.

Fortunately, there are some steps companies can take to improve warehouse efficiency and make more space available, at the same time. The warehousing and storage industry is a great example of how companies of all sizes can improve the way they handle, store and distribute products, to make businesses more efficient, a few are mentioned below.

Here are the steps to upgrade your warehouse and packaging efficiency and accuracy.

Maximise and Optimise Warehouse Space

The number one reason why companies run out of warehouse space is simple, available space is not being optimised and maximised. In many cases, better use of vertical space is all that is needed to create more storage, thus freeing up areas that could better be utilised for receiving, packing, re-packing, unpacking, hand-assembling, sorting, or any number of related tasks. There are many types of shelving and bins available as well that could better store smaller items more effectively, rather than have a few items taking up a whole pallet of space, only a bin may be necessary.

Develop a Lean Inventory System

When companies grow, it just makes sense to ‘try’ and keep everything needed under one warehouse roof. Ideally, that is true, however, as complex as some business operations are, reducing or eliminating non-essential material and stocks, and just keeping what the company needs on-sight, creates a more efficient system of operation.

To accomplish this, companies of all sizes utilise packaging and warehousing services, such as leasing warehouse space when needed, or outsourcing warehousing services such as hand assembly, re-works, pick/pack, container unpacking, labelling, sorting and distribution, to name just a few.
