With sufficient time and resources, achieving 100% accuracy is possible, but is it necessary? The decision hinges on the relative costs and benefits. Consider the expense of an incorrect order and the investment required to eliminate all errors in your order picking operation. What compromises must you make to chase this objective? Knowing the cost of a mis-pick, including all pertinent expenses, is crucial. While striving for 100% accuracy is ideal, sustaining such perfection is unattainable over time. Companies typically aim for a “high bar” that falls short of perfection. The goal is to weigh the net gain from your current accuracy against the benefits of enhancing it through additional personnel, technology, and processes. Assess all the costs and advantages of such an initiative. Will it require more quality control staff? Investments in WMS or other technologies? Automation? Carefully weigh the extra expenses against the total benefits before embarking on any process to improve accuracy.
