To improve productivity in your operations, you must be able to measure and optimize labor activities.

• Are you concerned about labor utilization and efficiency in your warehouse?
• Are you able to set fair and clear performance expectations for your warehouse workers?
• Does your warehouse management system provide adequate measurement and performance reporting capabilities?

Implementing engineered labor standards (ELS) is one of the most cost-effective strategies for optimizing labor utilization. But, how can you take maximum advantage of ELS with an existing warehouse management system already in place—and at a reasonable cost?
