Projects - Customer's package individual check
To avoid any mistake, an additional security check can be made.
During insertion of the products into the shipping box, each product is scanned by a barcode reader and then put into the box.
Usually the result shows perfect match to customer's order.
The single boxes which do not match – are re-checked manually and mistakes corrected.
Mistakes are very rare, as picking workers are keen on their incentive wages. Making mistakes reduces drastically the bonus the workers get.
Drivers' allocation system
Delivery drivers get their shipping instructions according to specific delivery zones.
The packing checkup station issues an adhesive label for each box.
Needless to say that barcoded labels are used. Each label indicates:
- Customer details
- Order number.
- Number of specific box and the total number of boxes for a distinct customer.
Under such strict computerized control, no mistakes occur.
In the rare event of a mistake, it is discovered while all the products and boxes are still in the warehouse are correction is very simple – compared to error discovery when the distribution driver reaches the customer's site.
