Technology is changing the world by
the day, if not by the hour. It’s easy
to get caught up in the hype, and focus on automation, or the latest, greatest
software. But all of these are only as
good as the underlying basics – best practices aren’t called that by
chance. Fulfillment best practices
form the underlying foundation that allow you to take advantage of that latest
technology, or utilize that cool new software package. “A best practice is a method or
technique that has consistently shown results superior to those achieved with other
means, and that is used as a benchmark.”1 Or in other words, get the basics right, and you have a strong
foundation to grow on.
What, you may ask yourself, are the basics for supply chain
that you should be focused on? As Bob
Trebilcock, Editor at Large for Logistics Management, discussed on 19 May 2015,
inventory management rests on three main points: warehousing, transportation, and labor –
Trebilcock’s “three-point stance”.2 But
what are the best practices for these areas?
And how do you implement them?
This is where a 3PL partner can lead the way. A great 3PL
will be operating on best practices
– they improve their efficiency and profitability, and that translates to
better operations for their clients.
