Goods receiving and dispatch (GRD) is a vital part of any efficient organisation, but did you know that the effects of a well organised warehouse and well-trained GRD staff can boost performance throughout the entire organisation?
Benefits of efficient warehouses
Consider the increased efficiency of sales staff who can check for stock reliably and quickly, or the time saved by warehouse staff who can locate goods more readily due to a logical and neat storage system.
Well organised warehouses can also lead to reduced costs as space requirements decrease and fewer instances of employee theft or false accusations of theft against staff due to inaccurate stock counting.
Benefits of well-trained goods receiving and dispatch staff
For employees who deal with goods receiving and dispatch training is important to ensure that the policies and procedures for GRD, including receipt of damaged goods, over/under deliveries, and incorrect deliveries, are clearly understood and adhered to.
Once warehouses and stockrooms have been logically laid out and are efficiently managed other departments within the organisation are able to function more effectively.
There are fewer discrepancies during deliveries and stock levels can be maintained far more effectively.
Is your organisation's warehouse and stockroom well organised? Do you think training your warehouse staff would make a noticeable difference throughout your company?
