Manufacturing journalist, Thomas R. Cutler recently profiled in Robotics and Automation News as he sees consumer spending trends suggest this holiday season for retailers and logistics companies will drive an improvement of 15% year-over-year. Retail sales in the U.S. expanded 0.8% in October after a strong 1% gain in September, the WSJ’s Josh Mitchell reported, in the best two-month stretch of sales in at least two years. The brisk spending is a strong sign that the economy is picking up steam, with both wages and employment rising. The expansion, mostly e-commerce, proves that once again online sales are growing at triple the rate of overall retail sales.
From determining optimal inventory levels, to selecting the best storage methods, to ensuring inventory accuracy, the margins despite rapid growth must improve productivity and profitability through better inventory management.
The basics of effective warehouse management, including techniques for determining the best material storage methods, barcoding, cycle counting, reducing damage, protecting against theft, improving housekeeping, are being questioned this holiday season.
