East Granby, CT -- (SBWire) -- 04/13/2015 --In a recent issue of Picking Perfection newsletter, sponsored by Pcdata USA, trends impacting the popularity of various product picking tools used to increase efficiency were profiled. The article noted that warehouse-management system (WMS) software has been around for a long time. Still, companies have been reluctant to incorporate engineered labor standards into their distribution-center operations. Only 18 to 21 percent of the market has adopted true engineered-labor programs.

Evan Danner, president of TZA, recently explained in Supply Chain Brain why it is essential for companies today to employ sophisticated labor-planning and optimization systems on the plant floor and in the warehouse. Medium- to large-sized facilities, dealing with highly complex operations, need to adopt labor-management software that will help them to place the appropriate people in the right jobs at the right time. They must also take into account seasonality. A modern-day software application can also help to bring new workers up to speed more quickly. Contingent labor groups should be placed in roles that are easily learned.
