Many companies still generate paper pick lists. It is cheap - there is no need to lug a handheld around or wear a headset.
If you have the product bar code on the pick list, it is probably faster to scan product bar code on pick list than on actual products. As location is usually on the pick list itself, picking errors is unlikely anyway.
It is quite easy to generate the equivalent bar code on the pick list, especially of the pick list can be saved as an excel sheet. You can customize the bar codes you need too.
This blog covers new pull supply chain responsiveness and logistics concepts for hubs with good air and sea-freight connectivity like Singapore. Big data and web analytics are creating new demand opportunities, and help operations meet growing global regulatory standards. Very often, my work also involves helping online retailers improve operations. Discussions spans from raw materials serialization, to manufacturing, marketing and sales. Visualization and analysis techniques are also shared.
