### Sorting SKUs by stacking items on the floor might be double handling
Imagine you are opening several boxes of products to sort the contents by SKU and then repackage them into cases. If you do that by opening every box and stacking the items on the floor, you are probably double handling. As a more efficient alternative, you could instead open one box at a time on a table, sort each item, and put it into a box for that SKU.
How to Identify Double Handling?
#### How to Identify Double Handling?
To identify double handling in your warehouse or production environment, look for any unnecessary movement of goods that may be occurring. Questions you can ask yourself include:
- Are there any areas where goods could be moved more efficiently?
- Are there any processes that require more than one person to move a product from one place to another?
- Is the route that products take through the warehouse long and winding?
- Is there a lack of clear pathways between different parts of the facility?
- Are workers moving goods further than they need to before they reach their destination?
What Can Be Done About Double Handling?
Once you have identified areas where double handling may be occurring, there are several steps you can take to reduce it:
- Streamline processes by finding ways to move
- Are workers moving goods further than they need to before they reach their destination?
