Small businesses at times seems to be ignoring many a thing, by just treating them as one more jargon in this new age of super complicated words and synonyms.
Process Re-Engineering can be a game changer to businesses, as it can perform miracles on a failing or stagnant company and open new doors for a company on steady path of growth. However, the process is tricky and needs some pain-killers to supress the pain of change and pain of tearing down what we are used to and feel comfortable with.
If ignoring this was a mistake, the next big mistake could be to settle for a cheap and basic process re-engineering tool in absence of an expert guidance. It could be that you tried saving a cent and lost a dollar.

Imagine stepping back in time to visit a large warehousing operation in 1990. If at all it was possible, such an adventure would really throw todayโs distribution center advances into focus.
To save you from a meltdown, letโs take a brief journey through warehouse operating developments from 1990 to 2045. This week let me take you all through the past, present and future of use of technology in theย #warehousingย domain.
So while reading through this series you can shut down the imagination overdrive and cruise through this rundown of technologyโs impact on warehouses and distribution centers.

Welcome to the tour of a logistics warehouse in the late 20th century. Pay attention as we move through the building, because while a lot of things are different to the warehouse of today, many of them appear subtle to the eye, but have huge meaning in terms of warehouse efficiency and productivity.
Perhaps the first thing youโll notice is just how many people there are. See that supervisor over there, distinguished from the operatives by his different coloured hi-vis vest? Look! Thereโs another supervisor, and another over there, although you can hardly see them for all the operatives moving among the pick faces in that aisle.
Todayโs warehouses need fewer operatives and hence, fewer line managers, because certain labor-reducing technologies have either made labor more efficient or eliminated it altogether. Some of the technologies which we shall discuss in detail later are WMS, Scanning Technologies, Voice Technologies, Warehouse Automation
Now, back to the tourโฆ
Notice how many people on the warehouse floor have paperwork in their hands? In fact, there seems to be paper everywhereโฆ And look up there in the racking. There are rows and rows of file boxes stored on pallets, presumably containing years of paper records and documents. What a wasteful use of good warehouse cube.
Let’s continue discussing these in future posts and till then…
