RF, DATA COLLECTION AND BARCODING ≠WMS/TMS
Radio Frequency Can Actually Hurt Productivity
•Order picker with paper can be faster than Radio Frequency Picker
– Some gains on searches, errors, etc.
•Key: Strategies that leverage technology like RF, but reduce labor and travel time
– Multi-order picking
– Work flow (Walk paths)
– Material handling integration
– Zone picking
– Pick/sort
– Integrated transportation
– Value added services
– Etc.

Units of Measure Matter
•Each unit of measure means different equipment, labor, etc.
•Unit picking should not be done out of the same location as pallet picking
•Items may need to live in multiple bin locations
•Reservations, putaway logic, replenishment, etc. need to be smart about UOM
•Different channels drive different behaviors (direct to consumer vs. B2B)

SUMMARY
C-Level Executive Value Proposition/Questions
•What if we could reduce your warehouse labor cost (usually one of, if not the single highest cost to do business) by 20%? Would that enable you to do more business with the same staff, or reduce staff to save costs?”
•“How many Physical Inventories do you complete per year and at what cost?” “2 per year, and they cost $20K each
•Equipment that is needed can be utilized longer due to better cube utilization and flow of goods design (less run time = longer life).
•What would it mean to your company to reduce your inventory cost by 1%?”
