So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Warehouse Efficiency And Productivity Improvement

By Amanda Griffin

The warehouse is the center of any system of wholesale distribution. The warehouse is the spot from where all of your products are worked. They are delivered here, stored, packaged and then shipped out to all of the stores and outlets that you supply with goods to sell, all from this one location. The inventory constantly fluxes and tracking it adequately is essential to keep your business running smoothly. Financial problems are created and customers are angered by mistakes and errors in the operational management in your warehouse.

Using certain operating techniques, you can make your shipping and inventory operations and productivity increase in efficiency.

Make sure you do not let your routine become outdated and inefficient as the time goes by and your business grows larger. Do not let your business become stagnant; instead, be sure to look over your procedures and change them as needed. You do not want your warehouse to become delayed or behind schedule, thus the key focus is maintaining productivity. Verify that any possible problems that might result in a longer processing time are eliminated. By doing this you can decrease your costs, and increase your quality of service and capacity of your warehouse.

Employees must be trained to provide a specific level of productivity that delivers consistent, positive results and improves the quality of service.

The standard used in your warehouse can change as time passes to customize them to the workers doing the jobs daily. By maintaining flexible standards, your business is run based on how work functions change, not what looks good on paper. It encourages employees to provide feedback and suggestions that can be used to improve operational procedures.

It is essential to review productivity reports to determine how effective your warehouse system is. These reports will give you an idea of the strengths and weaknesses of your warehouse operation.
