Omnichannel distribution centers face an ever-changing landscape of fulfillment demands. Balancing retail, wholesale and direct-to-consumer requirements means constantly adapting to a dynamic mix of order profiles, and keen awareness of the impact that these variations have on fulfillment processes and inventory consumption. To meet promised service levels, DCs need to not only become more flexible in their slotting, picking and putting operations, but also in allocating labor resources to meet the demands of the day.
In the next On The Move webinar, Doug Mefford, product manager at Intelligrated, will discuss the importance of implementing flexible execution methodologies to better navigate omnichannel challenges. You’ll learn from the wisdom of Doug’s 20-plus years of supply chain management experience as he focuses on:
- How dynamic slotting helps DCs respond to changing order profiles by supporting flexible storage strategies
- The importance of adjusting pick location sizing to account for dynamic product mixes
- How to establish flexible picking zones to accommodate and transition from bulk-, case- and each-picking scenarios
- Why configurable putting processes are critical to successfully adapting to ever-changing order profiles
- How visibility to labor resources enables the ability to flex workers in real-time to meet changes in demand
