The Supply Chain Story: Picker

  • April 21, 2023

Rishi Kapoor was back at the warehouse, eager to learn more about the different roles and responsibilities of the workers. Today, he was set to interview one of the pickers, who played a crucial role in the daily operations of the warehouse.

He was introduced to a young woman named Rhea, who had been working as a picker for two years. Rishi could see the energy and enthusiasm in her eyes as she explained her daily activities.

Rhea's job as a picker involved walking up and down the aisles of the warehouse, locating and selecting items from the shelves based on the orders that had come in. She would use a handheld scanner to scan the barcode of each item, ensuring that the correct products were being selected.

Rishi was impressed by the speed and accuracy with which Rhea worked. He asked her what her daily targets were, and she explained that the warehouse had a set number of orders to be processed each day, and it was her job to ensure that all the items were selected and prepared for shipping on time.

However, Rhea also mentioned that there were challenges in her job. She explained that the warehouse was a vast space, and sometimes, locating specific items could be difficult. Additionally, the pressure to meet targets could be stressful, and it was crucial to remain focused and avoid mistakes.

Rishi asked Rhea about the dos and don'ts of her job, and she explained that safety was a top priority in the warehouse. She was required to wear a safety vest and hard hat at all times, and it was important to be aware of her surroundings to avoid accidents. She also emphasized the importance of teamwork and communication, as pickers often had to coordinate with forklift drivers and other workers to ensure that the right items were being selected and moved around the warehouse.

As the interview came to a close, Rishi thanked Rhea for her time and for sharing her insights. He had gained a newfound appreciation for the role of pickers in the warehouse and realized how critical their work was to the smooth functioning of the supply chain.

Rishi left the warehouse feeling more informed and inspired than ever before. He knew that the logistics and supply chain industry was a complex and fascinating field, and he was excited to learn more about it in the future.
