Whether you are managing a warehouse go-live from an in-house perspective or as a service provider, not including key stakeholders, failure to identify gaps and insufficient process mapping can lead to major challenges. Logistics leaders can use this research to execute a seamless warehouse startup.
Lack of inclusion of key stakeholders and employees in the planning and deployment processes of a new warehouse operation can impact capacity requirements and meeting critical KPIs.
Failure to identify and address flaws and gaps in the current warehouse processes will set a new warehouse operation up for failure, as legacy practices from previous sites could be transferred to a new warehouse operation.
Insufficient operational process mapping and incomplete master data can lead to the incorrect selection or misalignment of warehouse technology, resulting in a warehouse management system that does not have the capabilities to deliver to expected requirements.
