A manager would like to improve labor productivity by minimizing travel time in the warehouse. Which of the following picking methods would best enable the manager to achieve this objective?
Zone picking is the best method to minimize travel time in a warehouse. Here's why:
1. In zone picking, the warehouse is divided into different zones, and each worker is assigned to one zone.
2. Each worker is responsible for picking all items within their assigned zone for each order. This reduces the distance each worker has to travel because they stay within their zone.
3. This method is more efficient than wave picking, order picking, and batch picking, where workers may have to travel across different zones to pick items.
4. Therefore, zone picking minimizes travel time, improving labor productivity
