Picking

It refers to the process of collecting customer orders from shelves and preparing them for shipment. What is "Picking" in Logistics? It is a crucial part of the supply chain where workers, often with the help of technologies such as barcode scanners or voice systems, select and extract requested items from their designated storage locations. Types of Picking There are several "picking" methods in logistics, and the choice of one depends on various factors, such as the type of products, warehouse size, and customer demand. Some common types include: Zone or Zonal: The warehouse is divided into zones, and each worker is assigned a specific zone to collect products. This method is efficient for large warehouses. Batch: Workers collect multiple orders simultaneously, grouping similar products. Orders are then separated before being shipped. Improves efficiency by reducing travel time. Order: Each worker collects products for a single order at a time. Although precise, it can be less efficient than other methods in large warehouses.
