Do not gauge productivity off of lines picked unless for some reason every line is always the same qty. A line typically can represent 1 unit or 1000 units. One day you could pick 10000 lines and use no OT and another day pick 4000 lines and use OT, this doesn’t always represent an issue, unit qty at the line level could be substantially higher or vary. You need to measure based off on units, cartons, pallets, etc. picked and have your picking rate to accurately gauge your productivity and efficiency. Overall great content.
This video is very helpful as it not confirmed what I already knew but also made me appreciate other aspects of warehouse management I had not paid much attention to especially with regards to labour cost, maybe because we never had to work overtime and it was not a pressing issue with my company. It is valuable knowledge, though I hope I will not have to apply it in practice. LOL
Yeah as I see there are some similar significiant things as those on your channels, it is such an effective revision for me, sir!. There are also some things are widened more in his speech, I am very pleased to know more about that, thanks Sir!!
Some of the major challenges of ECom warehousing are (1) small orders, maybe only 1 or 2 lines per order, so high cost to pick and pack. (2) changing stock profile, so a need to flexibility in pick locations and slotting.
Hiiii!!! I am a big admirer of the knowledge that you share through your channel. I really want you to talk about "Can AI and/or Automation improve Humanitarian Logistics as a backbone of Humanitarian organizations." Thanks for your valuable time and consideration. I am eagerly waiting for a future response.
I'm sorry but I don't have a great deal of experience in Humanitarian Logistics. I'll ask amongst my team. But I would expect the benefits in labour saving and cost to be the same as in any Logistics operation really. Certainly back in the 'base' country. Once in the field in more remote areas, the advantage would be limited I think.
You mentioned benchmarking in the video. What source(s) do you typically use for that benchmarking? Are there are trade groups or research firms you tend to go with for such data?
That is very hard to answer for a number of reasons. (1) We remain totally vendor neutral and cannot recommend specific systems. (2) The market is constantly changing in terms of vendors and functionality, and (3) Every business is somewhat unique in their requirements. To put that in perspective, a WMS can cost anywhere from $25,000 to $2,000,000+ Message me on linked in and I can probably put you in touch with one of my specialist consultants who could at least give you some pointers. www.linkedin.com/in/robobyrne/
Hi!!! I wanted to know if you could do a video related to location of the warehouse? You have talked about design and I would like to know more about the efficient locations to build a warehouse. Thanks!!!!
There are a couple on the channel already. ua-cam.com/video/Fn4pJhI8vHI/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/vonjHav2e2k/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/Cnp16b5TKFg/v-deo.html
That's really an impossible question to answer, sorry. It depends on where you are based, if you want to study elsewhere, your visa situation, your budget, the type of jobs you would like to aim for. Perhaps there is a career advisor you could talk to at a local college?
So many company's bring in these Warehouse " gurus" that most seem to be from England , South Africa , Ireland .. and folks think thier charasmatic and educated . They are actors .Workers and management become enamoured by thier accent as if they know everything . The insight this clip clearly acknowledges is the clear admonishment of the actual warehouse mainstream workers contribution to the success of these maga companies. Not a metion of it. Actually he hinted to the opposite. Pay people the least amount possible and get results .
Sadly in many countries, labour cost is the major cost of a warehouse operation. Hence the drive for automation and robotics. Sometimes 'progress' has a negative side and we need to be aware of that.
Hi Mal, Thanks for sharing this presentation, very informative. At around 16 mins you mention using some software to input transactions and getting advice about warehouse design, may I ask what software you are referring to?
As with any Benchmarking, it is comparing one warehouse performance against a ‘group’ of other similar warehouses. Typically it would measure comparisons of cost, productivity and accuracy.
any advice for an operations manager that is getting into the logistic business. any good reading suggestions that will help me best manage throughput when working in a package processing facility say like UPS or fedex. I thank you in advance for your assistance with this matter.
I would try to get out an visit some sites. Network with people working in those types of businesses. You'll learn more that way than reading a book. Or.....start watching lots of UA-cam videos made by companies like UPS and Fedex...

Yes lines can be a tricky one, as can orders (different sizes). So it's important to match the KPI to the operation.
Thank You for this very insightful video. Being a newcomer I got lot to learn from this.
You are so welcome! There is more to learn in this channel. Never stop learning.

Benchmarking data is really hard to get. So we started our own Benchmarking company about 30 years ago.
Thanks a lot ... so Helpful.
Most welcome!
Can you make a video on effective warehouse location & numbering. Thanks
Sure, I'll add that to the production list.
Appreciate the content. Informative and local?
Glad you think so!
This is so cooool!

Or we might do a video on how to select a WMS?
Thank you for such a knowledgeable video if you can suggest to me a WM software you feel is the best right now?
There are many WM softwares that are good. Maybe start here: www.gartner.com/reviews/market/warehouse-management-systems

Dear Sir,
I'd like to graduate in warehousing operations and supply chain. Kindly advise how to go about and which course is advisable?
That's really an impossible question to answer, sorry. It depends on where you are based, if you want to study elsewhere, your visa situation, your budget, the type of jobs you would like to aim for. Perhaps there is a career advisor you could talk to at a local college?
Hallo
I wanted to know about aisles design n spacing calculation inside the warehouse

Hi Mal,
Thanks for sharing this presentation, very informative.
At around 16 mins you mention using some software to input transactions and getting advice about warehouse design, may I ask what software you are referring to?
I think Mal is referring to warehouse ‘slotting’ software. Some of this also lets you measure productivity Benchmarks.
He didn't mention the software for slotting . Does anyone have an idea of such software?
There are a few available, I'd rather not promote one in particular.
What is Benchmarking of warehouse operation ?
As with any Benchmarking, it is comparing one warehouse performance against a ‘group’ of other similar warehouses. Typically it would measure comparisons of cost, productivity and accuracy.
Please l want to roll on warehouse course. I need guidelines
Maybe join Supply Chan Secrets online training?
those are sound 10 principles, but i think there is another, very important one, in addition to them - standard operating procedures (SOP)
Good addition...
Sir i have a project to design the Intelligent Elevated Warehouse. Would you help me about this..
Reply asap
Thanks
I'm sorry I get a lot of requests like this but sadly don't have the time for 1 on 1 coaching.
Nice. In short.
Thanks
