Improvements pinpointed

Having recently made a number of improvements to the layout and allocation of tasks within its central distribution centre in Cannock, PJH recognised that its warehouse management system and processes required improvements to complement the physical changes.

Davies & Robson’s consultants recommended a programme of process improvements and system enhancements, including a real-time put away algorithm, a pick-face replenishment prioritisation algorithm and pick-face replenishment optimisation routine as well as modifications to the data displayed on the RF guns during picking routines to improve operator decision making.
