The consultant from Welk Material Handling came in this morning to present her ideas for redesigning the Pookvillo warehouse, right? What did you think? |
Amy Carroll | 3.50 P.M. |
Most of her suggestions were great. For example, she recommended setting up an area near the entrance that would have small quantities of the materials that customers order most frequently. That would cut down our retrieval times. |
Selena Horvath | 3.50 P.M. |
That does sound like a good idea. Did she think we'll need to invest in pallet racks, like we suspected? |
Amy Carroll | 3.51 P.M. |
Yes, but only for that special front area. We could keep stacking the rest of the stock on the floor. |
Ronald Eguchi | 3.51 P.M. |
But she also said we should implement a location-finding system with scannable labels. |
Selena Horvath | 3.52 P.M. |
Hmm, that sounds expensive. But I'm sure it has a huge potential to improve our efficiency. |
Amy Carroll | 3.53 P.M. |
Our thoughts exactly. We asked her how long it would take to recover the cost of the system through the increase in productivity, and she said it depends on which provider we choose. |
Ronald Eguchi | 3. 54 P.M. |
We’re looking for a provider that might be willing to offer us a discount for adopting the system in several warehouses instead of just one. |
Selena Horvath | 3.55 P.M. |
Well, we may decide 1o try out the system in one location before implementing it in the others. But that's an interesting idea. Let me know what you find out. |
