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
