The Plight of the Warehouse Manager

Under the influence of e- commerce , supply chain collabora�on , globaliza�on , quick response, and just -in- �me , warehouses today are being asked to (1) execute more , smallertransac�ons , (2) handle and store more items (3) provide more product and service customiza�on , (4) offer more value -added services , (5) process more returns, (6) serve more channels, (7) process a greater variety of order types, (8) receive and ship more interna�onal orders, and (9) provide higher levels of safety and security for people and property. At the same�me warehouses today have (1) less �me to process an order, (2) less margin for error, (3) less young, skilled ,English speaking personnel, (4) under- developed systems capability,and (5) re�cence to automate despite all the publicity surrounding warehouse automa�on . I call this rock and a hard place scenario the plight of the warehouse manager . Never has the warehouse been asked to do so much andat the same�me been so strapped for resources at the same�me .
