Warehouse Lean management
Overview
Warehouses designed according to Lean principles enables a mode of supply to the production area to be carried out at a short frequency rhythm which favours the filling density of the production area and productivity.
The adaptation of warehouses in their management and organisation towards a Lean model aims to systematically eliminate waste and optimise the flow of materials and people, and contributes to the digital transformation of logistics processes.
Outcomes
- Reduces overstocking
- Less time and transport due to recurring search for materials
- Lack of visibility in operations
- Synchronisation with production
- Optimises material flow and operator productivity
- No need for expensive automation solutions
- Prepares internal processes for online sales
- Improves material traceability management
- Prepares logistics processes for digital transformation
How we achieve it
- Warehouse design
- Picking area commissioning
- ABR & FMR analysis
- Implementation of logistics train
- Kanban system deployment
- Material flow diagram
- Consumption analysis (ABC)
- Definition of logistic units
- Elimination of stock shelves in production. Establishment of a single stocking point per part.
- Implementation of adapted and ergonomic storage and racking solutions.
- Optimisation of warehouse flows
- Optimisation of storekeeper’s work: just what is needed, without error, on time, at the right place.
- Limiting and optimising incoming controls
- Implementation of digital storage and logistics Lean solutions
