What is picking and packing in a warehouse?
Picking and packing in a warehouse is a system of selecting customer's orders and placing them directly into a shipping box. Businesses with ecommerce services use pick and pack for the delivery of small orders. Once an online order arrives at the warehouse, our workers diligently gather each item. Most orders will likely contain products located throughout the storage facility. The method used to pick and pack matters. How workers gather products, how your inventory is organized, what management system you use, and other factors can all impact the efficiency of the picking and packing stage.
Picking and Packing Methods
There are multiple strategies for streamlining pick and pack services. Depending on your business, you may use:
- Piece picking, when a single employee fills a single order at once by walking through the inventory and hand selecting every item.
- Batch picking, when an employee fulfills orders in batches instead of one at a time. A picker may take three boxes with them to sections A, B, and C while batch picking.
- Zone order picking, when a single employee is assigned to a specific area of the warehouse. If there are required items in multiple zones, the box is usually transported between zones by a conveyor belt.
- Wave picking, when an employee will pack multiple orders in a single section. This form of pick and pack requires the greatest intra-facility logistics.
