AutoSLAM Kickout Reduction
Amazon fulfillment centers use a machine called AutoSLAM to apply customer shipping labels to packages. However, for a variety of reasons, this machine cannot automatically process every package, resulting in “kickouts” that require additional manual processing. These kickouts result in additional cost as well as delays in shipping customer orders. This Tauber team worked to identify the root causes of kickouts and test potential fixes to reduce kickouts that can be applied across Amazon’s North America Fulfillment Network.
