Specific countermeasures for new employees in picking operations who cannot remember shelf numbers.
[Manufacturing Industry New Employee Training] [New Employee Development Factory] Unable to read shelf numbers, causing the site to stop? Improve accuracy with number displays.
"I keep making mistakes about the location of the shelves." "Even though I read the shelf number, I ended up taking the wrong product." Are you frequently experiencing losses or stops due to mistakes in understanding shelf numbers during the picking process for new employees? ● Not understanding the rules or how to read shelf numbers ● Not being familiar with the warehouse layout and having to search every time ● Rushing through tasks, leading to insufficient verification before moving on This is caused by entering the work without fully understanding the "structure and meaning of shelf numbers." Understanding shelf numbers is fundamental to picking operations and is often an overlooked training point. By shifting from "making them memorize" to "educating them to understand and use," all aspects of work mistakes, training time, and stress can be reduced. At LinkStudio, we produce a variety of visual teaching materials and simulation-based training videos focused on understanding shelf numbers and picking education in warehouse settings. If you want to cultivate "new employees who don't make mistakes with shelf numbers," please feel free to consult with us. *For more details, please do not hesitate to contact us.
basic information
Proposal for a Solution | Educating to Visually Understand "Shelf Number Rules and Readings" through Video Shelf numbers are not just a "string of symbols," but rather a "rule that logically expresses position." Without understanding this, memorization becomes mere rote learning, and application becomes difficult. What is needed for this is education that visually conveys that "shelf numbers have a meaningful structure." ● Breaking down "what shelf numbers mean" through animation ● Illustrating the relationship between the actual warehouse layout and shelf numbers ● Visual teaching materials that show "why you should search in that order" through pathways By doing this, the ability to "read and understand shelf numbers" is developed, significantly reducing mistakes and confusion.

Implementation Steps | How to Educate "Newcomers Strong in Shelf Numbers" STEP 1 | Identify past shelf number mistakes and pinpoint "easily confused numbers" and their backgrounds We will create checkpoints for similar symbols, misalignments, and visibility issues. STEP 2 | Produce video materials on the theme of "What is a shelf number?" and "How should it be read?" Using three elements: explanation, live-action, and reenactment, we appeal to both senses and logic. STEP 3 | Utilize the videos for both training and on-the-job training (OJT). Also operate them as reminders It is particularly effective to establish a system for repeated viewing within the first week to month after joining the company.

Introduction of Success Cases | Strengthening Shelf Number Understanding with Videos Leads to Significant Improvement in Picking Accuracy In a medium-sized logistics warehouse, there were frequent shelf number mistakes made by new employees within their first month of joining. Even when they thought they had confirmed the number, they would mistakenly pick items with similar numbers, leading to a chain of work losses due to returns, incorrect shipments, and re-picking. To address this, training was conducted using video materials that summarized "the structure and reading of shelf numbers" and "characteristics of frequently mistaken numbers." The videos recreated typical "misunderstandings" that occur during picking, and by educating with specific examples, the following results were achieved: - Shipping errors due to shelf number mistakes decreased by over 70% within one month of implementation. - The time new employees spent saying "I can't find the shelf" was significantly reduced. - The time for retraining by the education staff also drastically decreased, improving overall efficiency in the field. By shifting education from "rote memorization" to "understanding meaning," an environment was created where mistakes are less likely to occur.
