• Questions & Answers
Wave Management- Why Bother?
Have you ever asked:
• What’s the impact of this wave (BEFORE releasing tasks
to the workforce)?
• What’s the fill rate for these orders? What if I
fill these others, instead?
• Will this group of orders be done by carrier pickup
time?
• Can I release all single-line orders as a batch?
• Can we fill the empty space at the back of a trailer
before sending it cross-country?
• Can we ship another $X,000 worth of product by
the end of the day?
