East Granby, CT -- (SBWire) -- 08/18/2015 --Picking Perfection, sponsored by Pcdata USA, brings important and interesting information to those in the material handling, warehousing, distribution, and manufacturing sectors. From best practices to industry data, this weekly communique reports on trend data, process improvement, and technology evaluations about picking, packing, shipping, and profitability.

Dick Friedman, contributing editor to Supply House Times, recently reported that items must be picked in a sequence that minimizes picking time. However, listing all items on one pick ticket or RF display may not minimize picking time. Minimizing picking time clearly maximizes the likelihood of getting all orders loaded by the end of a normal shift and counter/will-call orders quickly filled. Timely order filling is one way to compete with the giants whose modern, heavily-automated warehouses allow rapid fulfillment. But depending on the storage pattern in the warehouse, having one person pick all the lines for an order may take more time than splitting the order into two or more tickets or RF-displays. For example, using the same person to pick pipe and pipe fittings can take longer than generating one pick ticket for the pipe and one for the fittings (then bringing them together in a staging area or on a truck).
