The rise of e-commerce and multi-channel fulfillment has caused distribution centers (DCs) to experience ever-growing numbers of stock-keeping units (SKUs) and more inventory turns, up to an average of nine in 2015.
Learn more about the five key tactics we recommend to optimize your DC for e-commerce and multi-channel fulfillment, including:
- Relocate high-velocity SKUs to avoid congestion.
- Reconfigure pick methods to accommodate new SKUs.
- Manage split cases with warehouse execution software (WES).
- Add “early out” capability to ship completed orders faster.
