Goals check
Verify if you reached all the goals for this stage and you have everything you need to proceed.
Next stage:
1. Documenting your existing process
The first steps towards automating your palletizing process is knowing all the ins and outs of it. The Palletizing Evaluation Tool provided in this step helps you document all the relevant aspects of your process that you will need when planning your project. The tool also provides you with a report that points out potential friction points in your process and gives recommendations on how to remove or reduce these friction points.
When you have completed this step, you will have a clear idea of the complexity of your project. You will know potential friction points in your process and how to reduce them.
