What is Handling Unit Management?

Handling Unit Management (HUM) is a logistics process used to track and manage physical units of packaged goods, such as boxes, pallets, or containers, as they move through the supply chain. It involves assigning unique identification numbers to these units and recording their contents, location, and status at various stages, such as receiving, storage, and shipping. HUM is commonly used to improve inventory accuracy, streamline warehouse operations, and facilitate efficient tracking and tracing of goods.
