Maximize Warehouse Productivity with "Goods to Person" Method

What is "Goods to Person"?

"Goods to person" means the order picker stays in one place, and the system brings the "goods" or SKUs (stock keeping units) to the person. The SKU is picked and then sent back to a storage location. The basic system components consist of a storage medium for the product inventory, a conveyance method to bring the SKUs to the pick station, an ergonomic workstation, and software to control flow.
