In this video series, we ask our consultants about customer solutions they have implemented that they are proud of. SAP EWM Warehouse Management consultant Jelle Verhagen discusses ‘smarter picking’ in the warehouse in this interview.
Jelle, what was your customer’s challenge?
The customer has a high turnover rate at the picking locations. As a result, the company has to deal with a lot of replenishment tasks. It often happens that there are open replenishment orders when new materials arrive from the supplier. These open orders reserve capacity at the picking location. As a result, inbound pallets often go to the bulk location, when they could have been sent directly to the picking location.
