3 Tips to Improve Productivity with Material Handling

May 14, 2018

Who doesn’t want to boost productivity? It’s simply smart business. Take a look at how a few practical tips have the potential to make a big impact on your bottom line.

Is it time to upgrade your material handling technology?

Customers are expecting new levels of responsiveness, including shorter delivery times. Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) give your manufacturing facility or distribution center a competitive edge by automating maintenance workflows and tech dispatching, forecasting procurement needs, managing costs and delivering real-time asset history reporting. You may be surprised by how many processes are duplicated within your organization. In general, larger operations will benefit from CMMS. And smaller firms can usually benefit from customized approach to streamlined processes.

Consider maximizing fulfillment

Cross-docking planning, organization and careful tracking will help you ship product as quickly as they are received. In this way, you can coordinate shipments to match deliveries and eliminate a number of steps typically associated with material handling. Why move products more than once? You’ll certainly save money when it comes to inventory management. In addition, when your customers are receiving their shipments in a timely fashion, you’re guaranteeing customer satisfaction.

Enforce regular safety training and procedures

Avoid accidents, injuries and misunderstandings by holding ongoing safety training workshops. Always train new staff and employees on new equipment and update policies as protocols change. And regularly assess workplace conditions to help eliminate accidents and injuries.
