Kitting
Warehouse OperationsKitting is the process of assembling multiple components or items into a kit before an order is placed or at the time of fulfillment. For example, selling a computer monitor with a keyboard, mouse, and cables as a bundle. Kitting can reduce fulfillment time per order and improve customer satisfaction by delivering pre-assembled solutions. However, it increases operational complexity and can affect warehouse layout and inventory management.
