A laser-guided picking or placing system is provided. The laser guided picking system works with an inventory system including a plurality of items located in particular storage areas, such as drawers or bins. Each particular storage area stores a particular item. A computer system keeps track of the items and quantity stored in each storage location. A light reflector is preferably placed near each storage area, the light reflectors within line-of-sight of a nearby laser light system. When a list of items on a customer order is generated, the computer commands the laser to point to the storage areas of the desired items or to the reflectors corresponding to storage areas, one at a time. A picking specialist then manually picks the desired number of items from each storage area, placing the items in a tote or other container, until the order is complete. Items may also be placed in the bins to replenish inventory or to return items to stock.
