Analyze the packaging process
Examining packaging operations is useful to identify possible problems and slowdowns in the production flow: manual picking and packaging operations often lead to these inefficiencies. By using automated processes in the packaging process, the efficiency of the entire process can be significantly increased. By implementing packaging machinery in your warehouse, you reduce both waste disposal costs and possible damage to the goods due to inaccurate packaging.
Reduce manual handling of goods
It is important to evaluate all potential accidents that may occur during the movement of a product. Reducing manual handling and streamlining packaging operations can significantly reduce damage and simultaneously increase productivity. Conveyors are an excellent tool for moving products at every stage of the logistics process and drastically reduce the risk of accidental drops and impacts.
Monitor the frequency of damage
This step provides a clear picture of the costs and consequences associated with damaged products, including customer dissatisfaction and returns. By monitoring the frequency of damage, you can understand what is not working and in which areas you need to take action. Often, simple changes in packaging and different management procedures can make a big difference and actually reduce the frequency of damage.
Improving the efficiency of the packaging process not only helps to reduce costs, but also serves as an opportunity for company growth and improved service levels.
Implementing automated processes and minimizing manual handling allows your company to optimize the use of supply chain resources and redeploy staff at other stages of the supply chain.
