Warehouse labor planning and productivity standards
Labor is usually the biggest warehouse cost. We work out how many people you need, where and when, and how to measure productivity in a way your crew will accept.
Book a free assessmentWhat we set up
- Labor needs by shift and season, based on order volume
- Productivity standards for picking, packing and receiving
- Role design and cross-training
- Scheduling around inbound and outbound peaks
- Recognition and incentive ideas that fit your crew
- Onboarding and training materials for new hires and temps
Is this you?
Signs you need it
- Overtime in peak weeks and idle time off-peak
- Nobody can say what a good day looks like
- High turnover and constant retraining
- New hires take weeks to become productive
How it works
We observe the work on your floor, time the main tasks, and agree the standards with your supervisors before anything is posted. Then we build the schedule and training that go with them.
Common questions
What people ask us
Do you set quotas?
We set fair standards from observations on your own floor, and agree them with your supervisors first.
Can you help with temp labor?
Yes. We plan how many temps you need and when, and write the training so they're useful quickly.
