Warehouse productivity FAQs<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Between receiving inventory and getting orders delivered to your customers, what happens in your warehouse plays a crucial role in the efficiency of your operations. Good warehouse management<\/a> should be a priority to ensure a seamless fulfilment process and swift deliveries. This will help you maintain warehouse productivity so that different warehousing processes are well-coordinated and functioning smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post, we take a closer look at warehouse productivity to understand how you can measure it and how to improve efficiency and productivity in your warehouse. We also show you some of the signs to look out for when your warehouse isn\u2019t performing as it should. Let\u2019s get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to measure warehouse productivity and efficiency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Measuring your warehouse productivity involves looking at how quickly and accurately different tasks are performed within your warehouse. Use the following points as guidelines on how to measure the productivity and efficiency of your warehouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Main KPIs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Closely monitoring<\/a> your warehouse KPIs<\/a> is the first step to measuring your warehouse productivity. You may be doing this already, but there are certain KPIs that are closely tied to productivity measurement. This includes metrics such as receiving efficiency, put-away cycle time, put-away accuracy, picking efficiency<\/a>, and picking cycle time. These KPIs will tell you how efficient your warehouse operations are in terms of how you receive inventory, how you store them, and how you pick them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On-time shipments<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The number of orders you manage to deliver on time and in full is an important indicator of how efficient your warehouse operations are. To measure this, you\u2019ll need to look at your OTIF metric. OTIF, or on-time in-full<\/a>, is a KPI commonly used to measure delivery performance. However, it also gives you an idea of how your business is performing in the warehousing aspect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In general, you can\u2019t really deliver orders on time or in full unless things are functioning smoothly in your warehouse. If the picking or packing processes are moving slowly, this will undoubtedly delay the shipping process, which will ultimately affect deliveries. Similarly, if certain SKUs are out of stock or if pickers are unable to locate certain items, you could end up delivering orders with missing items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As such, the number of on-time shipments can be used to understand what goes on in your warehouse. If you\u2019re working with reliable couriers but your OTIF rate is still lower than expected, it could indicate something lacking in terms of warehouse productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Operations audit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A proper audit of your warehousing operations is also an essential step to understanding productivity and efficiency. Conducting a thorough warehouse audit<\/a> will help you collect reliable data about how different processes are functioning. This can then be used to assess how productive your operations are across those processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, data about the number of orders you managed to fulfil in a day can give you some idea of how efficiently your warehouse is fulfilling orders. Similarly, if your audit process reveals a high level of orders in exception status and out-of-stock orders, it could suggest that you\u2019re not restocking inventory<\/a> fast enough. You may also need to perform regular inventory audits<\/a> to ensure that there are no discrepancies between your inventory records and your physical inventory counts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warehouse capacity used<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Making good use of available space in your warehouse is another indicator of how efficiently your warehousing operations are running. With good warehouse inventory management<\/a>, you can make the most of your warehouse capacity<\/a>. This means that you\u2019ve mapped your warehouse and created a strategic layout to ensure that you\u2019re making full use of the working capacity in your warehouse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As such, if your peak warehouse capacity used is really high, this means that your warehouse is functioning efficiently. Ideally, businesses should aim for 100% usage, especially during peak season<\/a> when there\u2019s a higher demand for storage space. Unless the capacity is 100%, there\u2019s room for improvement in this area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Signs of poor warehouse performance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So once you\u2019ve measured your warehouse productivity, how do you know if it needs improvement? Check out the following key indicators of poor warehouse performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inefficient receiving process<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The performance of your receiving area affects the efficiency of your entire warehouse. Warehouse receiving<\/a> is where inventory is unloaded<\/a>, checked, and counted, so if you\u2019re experiencing efficiencies at this stage, it means that your warehouse isn\u2019t performing as it should.\u00a0Issues at this stage results in inaccurate or lost inventory, which affects inventory counts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inefficient put-away process<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, if it\u2019s taking too long to get inventory into storage, this could also indicate poor warehouse performance. Inefficient warehouse put-away<\/a> could be a result of several different factors. A lack of proper staffing and processes or poor warehouse layout that complicates the put-away process contributes to warehouse productivity issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Difficulty locating items<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If your pickers are wasting too much time trying to locate items from their picking lists, it\u2019s a clear sign that your warehouse isn\u2019t performing as it should. This could either be because you\u2019re not slotting and labelling racks properly or because you\u2019re storing them in places where it\u2019s hard to retrieve them. Either way, this significantly adds to picking duration, resulting in warehousing inefficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Low order accuracy rates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Constantly struggling with low order accuracy<\/a> rates is also a sign that your warehouse performance isn\u2019t up to par. A dip in this metric shows that your staff isn\u2019t picking the right items, which could be a result of mislabeling items, storing items in the wrong location, or having an unorganized pick process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

High number of orders in exception<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When a large number of orders are in exception status, it means that you\u2019re constantly running out of stock. This can ultimately be traced back to inefficiencies in demand forecasting<\/a> and restocking inventory<\/a>, both of which can be tied to your warehouse performance. It means you\u2019re not restocking fast enough and you\u2019re not reordering enough to meet consumer demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bottlenecks at any area<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Any bottlenecks within your warehouse directly lead to disruptions in your inventory flow<\/a>, thus affecting your overall warehouse performance, regardless of which area is experiencing that bottleneck (anything from receiving to packing and shipping to labelling). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to navigate volatility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even with good warehouse management strategies in place, businesses may still be negatively impacted by supply chain volatility. This has been particularly apparent in the past few years with unprecedented demand and supply chain bottlenecks<\/a> (not to mention the recent labour shortages and economic recessions). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result of these factors, businesses have been left struggling to keep up and mitigate the bullwhip effect<\/a>. Now that most businesses use a more demand-driven approach to managing their supply chain, the bullwhip effect has proven to be disastrous for many.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s crucial for businesses to maintain leaner supply chains to adapt quickly to any unexpected changes. Additionally, diversifying your product portfolio will help you maintain alternative revenue streams in case of supply chain disruptions affecting certain products. You\u2019d also need to diversify your partner portfolio so a disruption affecting one partner doesn\u2019t completely halt your supply chain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another essential solution is distributing your inventory<\/a> between multiple warehouses and fulfilment centres. That way, you can mitigate the impact of volatility by bringing inventory closer to your customers and ensuring that you have backup options in case one warehouse is highly affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of backups, businesses should also consider maintaining some safety stock to tide them over when volatility strikes. However, it\u2019s important to maintain optimal inventory levels so the safety stock doesn\u2019t become dead stock<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s where the right inventory management<\/a> tools come in. These tools provide you with accurate demand predictions and inventory reorder notifications so you always restock on time and in the right quantities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to improve warehouse efficiency and productivity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve measured your warehouse productivity and noticed that it\u2019s less than ideal. So what do you do next? Here are five actionable steps on improving your warehouse efficiency<\/a> and productivity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Use up available space<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you make the most of your warehouse\u2019s working space, you not only save on storage costs but improve your warehousing efficiency. To use up all the available space, you\u2019d need to optimise your warehouse setup<\/a> so that items are located strategically in areas where they\u2019re easy to access and retrieve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As such, you\u2019d also make use of warehouse racking systems<\/a> that help you save on space while properly organising your items so they\u2019re easy to recognise. For example, taller racks allow you to make the most of vertical space in your warehouse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Keep organised<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On that same note, it\u2019s important to ensure that your warehousing efforts are properly organised for greater efficiency. This includes organising your physical space so that you\u2019re not only making the most of the available capacity but also streamlining movement and operations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For starters, slotting<\/a> is an effective solution for warehouse organisation<\/a> as it involves organising SKUs based on shared characteristics. This may include organising items by product type, SKU number, or other key characteristics. For example, frozen items may be stored in the same section to ensure that the products are safely stored in optimal conditions, which helps to prevent damage and spoilage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, it makes it easier for workers to identify where to store the item during put-away and where to retrieve it during the picking process. This significantly boosts picking efficiency and accuracy, allowing you to fulfil orders more quickly without sacrificing order accuracy rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, you\u2019d also want to make use of standardized bins so that your warehouse shelves are neatly organised. That way, the put-away process also gets sped up since workers won\u2019t have to spend too much time locating the right racks for the right items. Similarly, pickers can quickly identify where each item is located and retrieve them in a timely manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another important part of warehouse organisation is real-time inventory management<\/a>. When you have access to real-time inventory data, you can get accurate insights about lead times and inventory demand. This information can then be used to manage your supply chain workflows and ensure that everything flows seamlessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, real-time inventory status updates will give you visibility into how much inventory is in different areas of the warehouse. This paints an accurate picture of your current inventory levels, allowing you to make timely inventory reorders so you can avoid stockouts and order exceptions that can delay your fulfilment process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Quality training and cross-training<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Employee training is an important investment as it can eventually contribute to better warehouse efficiency. Conduct regular warehouse inspections<\/a> and then set up quality training sessions to address areas of inefficiencies. This will provide employees with the skills and knowledge they need to put their best foot forward and improve how they currently perform assigned tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cross-training is also crucial for boosting your warehouse productivity as it involves equipping your team to perform a wide variety of tasks. That way, you can allocate your workforce more efficiently even in case of unexpected time-offs. Moreover, cross-training helps you to avoid understaffing issues that can result in high employee turnover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Safety first<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Accidents and safety risks are one of the main causes of inefficiencies inside a warehouse and can be extremely costly. Warehouse safety<\/a> should be your number one priority to protect the welfare of your employees and prevent accidents that could result in unexpected delays and disruptions in your warehousing operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Software solutions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Investing in the right software is a vital step to improving your warehouse productivity. First of all, you\u2019ll need a robust warehouse management system<\/a> to automate various aspects of your warehousing operations while simultaneously improving accuracy. You also need a warehouse control system<\/a> that allows you to seamlessly direct the flow of inventory in your warehouse and prevent bottlenecks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides these two essentials, there are several other digital warehousing<\/a> solutions that will help you improve efficiency and accuracy in your warehouse. For example, you can use pick-and-pack software<\/a> to automate the process of picking<\/a> and packing items to get them ready for shipment. This helps to significantly speed up the fulfilment process and improve overall efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
