Background of the Study
Warehouse automation refers to the use of technology, such as robotics, conveyor systems, and automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS), to streamline operations in warehouses and distribution centers. Automation has revolutionized warehouse management by reducing human error, improving inventory accuracy, and speeding up order fulfillment processes. As consumer expectations for fast and accurate delivery continue to rise, warehouse automation has become a key component in improving the efficiency and accuracy of supply chain operations.
Shoprite, a leading retail chain in Nigeria, operates numerous supermarkets across the country, including in Benue State. The company faces significant challenges in managing its large inventory and ensuring the timely and accurate fulfillment of customer orders. To improve the accuracy and speed of order fulfillment, Shoprite has implemented warehouse automation solutions in its distribution centers. The company aims to enhance inventory control, reduce order errors, and optimize the efficiency of its supply chain through the integration of automated systems.
This study will investigate the effect of warehouse automation on order fulfillment accuracy at Shoprite in Benue State, focusing on how automation has improved the company's ability to meet customer expectations and optimize its distribution processes.
