Acceptance
“Acceptance plays a decisive role in logistics, particularly in the design of efficient picking processes. In the logistics context, however, acceptance does not necessarily have to coincide with the picking unit, which offers scope for flexible and optimized processes.
An apt example is shortened two-stage picking. Here, an outer packaging unit is removed, while picked sales units are placed in customer-specific picking containers. Acceptance” therefore takes place at different levels, whereby the total acceptance does not necessarily correspond to the unit that was taken directly from the warehouse.
The use of “Acceptance” in logistics enables precise control of acceptance at different levels. This not only promotes flexibility in warehouse management, but also facilitates the traceability of goods movements. Companies can optimize their picking processes as acceptance can be precisely defined at various stages of the flow of goods.
- AcceptanceAcceptance is a legally defined process that plays a particularly important role in the fields of technology and logistics. In this process, a client officially declares acceptance of a product or system. Acceptance also marks the point at which the risk of a system is transferred. In the context of logistics systems, successful acceptance is usually preceded by an extensive test program. This typically includes a completeness check, functional tests including safety equipment, performance tests and availability tests. Each of these individual points helps to ensure that the product or system meets the specified requirements. An example of the application of acceptance in logistics is shortened two-stage picking. Here, an outer packaging unit is removed, while picked sales units are placed in customer-specific picking containers. This handling makes it clear that the removal does not necessarily have to be identical to the picking unit and that different units can be integrated into the process.
