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.

Yesterday’s discussion was about the warehouse of 1990 and what and how the technologies have helped the warehouses of today’s to become what they are. Let’s look at in brief about those technologies today.
#𝑾𝑴𝑺 – Warehouse management systems have advanced considerably in the last couple of decades. In the process they have made many warehouse activities faster for people to perform and generated efficiencies to reduce labor-intensiveness. For example:
~ Paperwork and data entry: WMS has reduced the need for people to spend time completing paper forms or entering data from documents into spreadsheets and other data-management applications.
~ Picking efficiency: Warehouse operatives can pick faster with WMS, because the technology helps to organize warehouses more efficiently and (with features such as system-guided picking) enable more efficient working practices to be followed.
~ Task Interleaving: As WMS solutions have become more powerful, they have extended the concept of system-guidance across all activities, especially those performed by forklift operators.
#𝑺𝒄𝒂𝒏𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑻𝒆𝒄𝒉𝒏𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒈𝒊𝒆𝒔 – In 1990, picking was a task in which a warehouse operative would spend almost as much time recording activities on paper documents as performing the actual task of moving items from pick-face to pallet. More advanced solutions even eliminate the data entry altogether, leaving the operative to concentrate solely on the actual picking. Scanning technologies have had a similar impact in other areas of warehouse operation, such as receiving, put-away, and dispatch.
𝑽𝒐𝒊𝒄𝒆 #𝑻𝒆𝒄𝒉𝒏𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒈𝒚 – By adding voice-guidance to the range of WMS functionalities, a warehouse operation becomes even more efficient, as operatives no longer need even to look down at a display to see their work instructions. Like other solutions already mentioned, voice technology reduces labor needs in more ways than one. In addition to helping warehouse personnel get more done in less time, it makes human error a less frequent occurrence, in turn reducing the need for labor to be expended on checking and rework.
#𝑾𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒆 #𝑨𝒖𝒕𝒐𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 – The mother of all warehouse technologies, warehouse automation has been responsible for more warehouse labor reduction than any other innovation and we’ll discuss this little later in this series
