PPS Methods
Crum Consulting specializes in transforming your Pick-Pack-Ship (PPS) methods from a cost center into a competitive advantage. A sub-optimized fulfillment process leads to wasted labor, inventory errors, and dissatisfied customers. We address this by conducting a precise Current State PPS Diagnostic Survey, analyzing your order profile, SKU velocity, and system capabilities to recommend a PPS strategy perfectly tailored to your operation. Whether your business requires the multi-order efficiency of Batch Picking, the spatial clarity of Zone Picking, or the time-sensitive precision of Wave Picking, our expert guidance ensures the methodology fits your physical warehouse and technological ecosystem, guaranteeing a scalable and reliable fulfillment system.
Our service is defined by tangible deliverables that empower your team. For every recommended method, we provide comprehensive, ready-to-use materials, including detailed PPS Method Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) Templates and highly visual Picker Training Manuals. This commitment to documentation minimizes transition time and ensures high Picking Accuracy from day one, allowing your team to immediately execute the new, optimized flow with confidence and clarity.
The success of your new PPS method is continuously proven and monitored using our proprietary KPI Dashboard Kit Setup. This assessment tool tracks critical metrics like Lines Picked Per Hour (LPPH), Order Cycle Time (OCT), and Labor Cost Per Pick. Our Before-and-After Metrics Report Example case studies, such as the one showing a 25% reduction in OCT after implementing Wave Picking, clearly quantify the return on investment. By focusing on measurable results and providing both the theoretical framework and the practical tools—including customized Warehouse Layout & Flow Maps—Crum Consulting transforms your fulfillment operations into an engine of profitability and customer satisfaction.
