    Make sure that every item's physical place is known by a position, container, box or station... If it isn't possible to know in some processes(lack of tech) then use minimum buffer in those ones.

    Para garantir a precisão na separação de pedidos, você pode: Utilizar tecnologias de identificação e rastreamento de produtos, como códigos de barras e RFID; Garantir que cada item esteja em seu próprio endereço;  Evitar a fragmentação do estoque, ou seja, alocar o mesmo SKU em várias posições; A separação de pedidos é o processo de localização e coleta de produtos no estoque do armazém da empresa após a concretização de uma venda. A precisão na separação de pedidos é essencial para evitar devoluções, danos ao produto e perda do cliente.  Utilizar uma metodologia de picking adequada, como pedido único, zone picking, batch picking ou wave picking.

    To ensure precision in handling high-demand products, leveraging technology is key. Implementing barcode scanning, RFID, and a robust Warehouse Management System (WMS) enhances tracking and optimizes picking routes. Pairing this with an efficient warehouse layout—placing fast-moving items in accessible zones—along with methods like batch or zone picking reduces errors and boosts speed. Continuous staff training, quality control checks, real-time performance monitoring, and proactive inventory replenishment are essential to maintaining accuracy and efficiency. These strategies help ensure timely and accurate order fulfillment, even during peak demand periods. #Logistics #OrderPicking #WarehouseManagement #SupplyChainExcellence

Também tem a opção de Fast moving no qual pedidos com maior demanda seja armazenado em locais de fácil movimentação.

    To enhance precision in order picking, we've found that integrating real-time inventory management systems significantly reduces discrepancies and ensures accurate stock levels. Training employees on efficient picking methods and using visual aids like color-coded labels have also improved accuracy. Leveraging pick-to-light or voice-guided systems streamlines operations and minimizes errors. Additionally, we prioritize ergonomic workspace designs to reduce picker fatigue and maintain focus during high-demand periods. Regularly analyzing performance metrics allows us to identify bottlenecks and implement continuous improvements in our process.
