What Is Dock Planning?

Dock planning is the process by which you determine:

  • Which truck goes to which dock
  • When it needs to load or unload
  • Which orders are picked where

What Often Goes Wrong?

  • Two trucks show up at the same dock
  • Drivers have to wait too long
  • Order pickers are ready, but the shipment hasn’t arrived
  • Docks become overcrowded or sit idle

What Are the Benefits of Doing It Right?

  • No waiting time = lower costs
  • Better flow in the warehouse = less stress
  • Higher customer satisfaction = fewer complaints
