Process Mode

Warehouses generally have limited space, so you must use the available space as efficiently as possible. You also must make each employee's trip through the warehouse as efficient as possible to maximize the quantity of items that each employee moves per trip.

You set the process mode to direct the system to a movement instruction table that:

• Maximizes space by filling locations to their maximum capacity and emptying partially filled locations as quickly as possible.

• Maximizes productivity by minimizing the number of putaway, picking, and replenishment trips in the warehouse.

• Uses other criteria that you define to optimize warehouse space and employee efficiency.
