Problem:
In warehouse operations, discrepancies often arise when physical product movements do not align with systematic records. A specific challenge is when workers complete work orders on mobile devices without physically visiting the required locations to perform the steps.
Solution:
Introduce a configuration control requiring warehouse workers to scan thebarcode during work order confirmations.
Implementing a process requiring operators to confirm their physical presence, such as by scanning location barcodes, can help ensure accuracy. This measure reduces errors, enforces operational discipline, and enhances the reliability of recorded data against actual activities in the warehouse.
Typing would serve as a fallback option when barcodes are missing or damaged, with control over this behavior managed through configurable settings. This ensures operational flexibility while maintaining a standard validation process.
