Today is the
final day in our series concentrating on how warehouses can be used to add
value to your business. The following three methods are perfect for the fast
processing of goods.
1. Mixing Products

2. Crossdocking
Crossdocking takes away the need for double handling goods. Vans pull up to the warehouse, are emptied of their products and refilled with new items that will be distributed. This option reduces problems with inventory storage and provides a total flow through system. It needs automated materials handling equipment and systems that allow floor ready pallets to be picked and packed for specific stores.
3. Flow Through
Flow through,
a similar process to crossdocking, is perfect for fast moving operations. The
warehouse is used to store low amounts of products, such as day to day or week
to week. The goods arrive and are measured and processed quickly. This provides
options to add value and work through the processes such as storing for a
couple of days, adding value, picking and processing.
