How do Taobao shop sellers deliver goods quickly?

The delivery speed greatly affects the buyer's evaluation of Taobao sellers, thus affecting the follow-up sales of online stores. Therefore, it is of great significance for sellers to improve the delivery speed and optimize all aspects of delivery. Whenever there is a big promotion, many sellers will be very anxious. In fact, by optimizing the picking process, the delivery speed can be obviously accelerated and the storage utilization rate can be improved.

In fact, by optimizing the picking process, the delivery speed can be obviously accelerated and the storage utilization rate can be improved. The warehousing of online retailing (including B2C and C2C) is different from traditional enterprises and B2B. One of the characteristics of traditional enterprise warehousing and B2B warehousing is that bulk commodities enter and leave the warehouse, while the characteristics of online retailing are that bulk products enter the warehouse and small products leave the warehouse. In this process, there are links such as supply handover, shelf determination, unpacking and shelving, packing according to the order, and express delivery. This requires online retailers to learn from some effective experiences of traditional enterprise warehousing and B2B warehousing, and at the same time carry out certain reforms to adapt to their own characteristics of bulk warehousing and small warehousing. Warehouse layout and goods placement Generally speaking, warehouses are divided into purchase ports, delivery ports, storage areas, packaging areas and delivery areas (the purchase ports and delivery ports of some warehouses are the same). Small and medium-sized sellers' warehouses are generally small, even only a few tens of square meters, so it seems unnecessary to divide them so finely; However, these functional areas can be easily divided, even without special planning, they will be naturally divided in the course of work, but the positions of functional areas overlap. Generally speaking, the new warehouse can design the shelf placement position according to the picking route. For a warehouse where goods have been placed, there will be too many trade unions if the shelves are to be changed. Therefore, the way to improve the low cost of the old warehouse is to change the picking route and mode, and gradually adjust the position of the goods. The placement of goods is divided into two parts: the right shelf and the right position on the shelf. First of all, we should choose suitable shelves for goods with different sales scales. The position of this shelf in the warehouse is relatively fixed, but the goods on it are not fixed and need to be adjusted by the seller according to different sales situations. The placement of goods should follow several principles: 1, large-scale sales or promotional goods should be placed on the shelves near the exit or entrance of the warehouse; 2, sales or promotional goods should be placed in the middle of the gold shelf in the golden position. The reason why we don't put all the shelves near the exit of the warehouse with large sales volume is because the goods in the middle of the shelves don't need to be bent down by the picker, which is conducive to quick picking and quick shipment. Products with small sales volume are placed at the bottom or top of the shelf. However, in the specific implementation process, it needs to be handled according to the specific conditions of the shelves. For example, the golden position of the gold shelf has been occupied by other products, so it is necessary to put the promotional products on the second gold shelf. In addition, the seller needs to decide who occupies the golden position between the promotional goods and the long-selling goods according to his own situation. But the general principle is the same: put the goods with large shipments and large volumes near the export. There is no optimal option for the delivery route and delivery method, only the most suitable option. The design of picking route and picking method depends on the placement and identification of shelves and goods. Small warehouses have limited goods and limited shipments, so there is no need for complicated picking routes and methods. Larger warehouses store more goods, have larger shipments, and have more labor for pickers. Reasonable and scientific picking routes and methods can greatly improve picking efficiency and reduce the workload of pickers. Taking Wuzhou Online Beijing Warehouse as an example, its picking route and way are all designed according to four S-shaped nests. These four S-shapes are S-shaped shelf placement, S-shaped picking route, S-shaped commodity number design and S-shaped search line of sight. The relationship between these four S-shapes is that the S-shape of the shelf determines the S-shape of the picking route, and the S-shape of the item number determines the S-shape of the search line of sight. S-shaped route is the most efficient route for pickers. In this warehouse, the entrance and exit are on one side, and the starting point and ending point of each operation by the picker are the same, and each operation will not take the repeated route, which belongs to the most labor-saving route in this warehouse. According to the brand, the shelves are placed in left and right positions to ensure that the route taken by the picker is also S-shaped. Each shelf has a multi-layer structure, and the item numbers are arranged in an S shape from top to bottom. The design of four S-shapes not only ensures that the route taken by the picker is the most economical, but also ensures that the route searched by the picker's line of sight is the most economical. The two kinds of picking methods have their own advantages and disadvantages: picking according to the order is convenient for the packer and saves the time of summary calculation, but it may increase the number of operations and the time of each operation. Summary picking shortens the operation time of the picker and divides the picking into two steps. First, the picker selects the goods from the warehouse, and then the packer makes the final selection, which divides the picking workload into two steps. Generally speaking, when the order quantity is relatively small, you can choose the picking method according to the order. Although it will increase the number of operations of pickers, the workload will not be great because of the small total amount; However, when there are many orders, it is suggested to adopt the summary picking method, and the picking workload is borne by the picker and the packer respectively. For sellers with large warehouses and long picking routes, they can also combine the two methods: collecting multiple orders and extracting multiple orders at a time, but putting them in different containers according to the orders in the picking movement. Of course, this needs two employees to complete, one employee is responsible for simple picking according to the summary list, and the other employee is responsible for the second step of leaving. Details and enhancements When there are enough packaging and staff, it is best to use assembly lines to complete the packaging work. Assembly line operation is to decompose the whole packing process, which can be generally divided into four steps: packing (boxing), inspection+sealing, posting and palletizing. Some online stores don't have that many people, so you can combine posting and stacking, or give inspection, sealing and posting to one person. If these steps are completed with a conveyor belt, the efficiency will be higher. According to the motivation of Wuzhou Online, the pickers of Wuzhou Online spend about 75% of their time walking, not picking. In order to make it easier for pickers to concentrate on picking goods, Wuzhou added conveyor belt equipment to the warehouse, fixed the pickers in a small area and replaced them with conveyor belts, which improved the picking efficiency. This kind of conveyor belt is suitable for super-large warehouses and some online stores with large quantities of goods, such as online stores for household goods. If only trolleys are provided, the number of goods picked by pickers is limited, while with the conveyor belt, goods can be piled on the conveyor belt and more goods can be picked at a time. Of course, it takes a lot of money to complete this deployment.
