Warehouse Consulting – Implementing Lean Management
We help put your operation on a solid foundation
- Do you struggle with labor?
- Are you considering renting out additional space?
- Is your equipment fleet the right size for your facility?
- Are your products frequently damaged?
- Do you have KPIs you aren’t hitting?
By implementing a Lean Management program, we help your warehouse operation reduce waste, optimize workflows, solve labor issues, and maximize productivity. Our team focuses on key areas like equipment choice, machine cost per hour, batteries and chargers, frequent service issues, facility layout, automation opportunities, and more. The result is that you provide your product at the lowest cost and with the shortest lead time possible.
Achieving your business goals begins with the processes and practices you have in place at the ground level, which is why our warehouse consulting services start with an in person walk through and evaluation of your entire operation. We take a deep dive into your facility to understand your unique processes, goals, and future growth potential, and then our team shares our observations, solutions to pain points or issues, and ways to improve your facility and reduce costs.
What our lean management program includes
Once we evaluate your facility, our warehouse consulting services focuses on several different areas to build a stronger foundation for your operation:
- Identify and eliminate waste to streamline your facility.
- Standardize processes to make your employees more productive.
- Continuous improvement (Kaizen) by empowering your employees to identify problems and propose solutions.
- Analyze equipment cost per hour to determine whether you are using the right machine, or if it’s time to replace a piece of equipment.
- Optimize layout and flow in your warehouse to minimize unnecessary movement and wasted time.
- Add new automation technology to reduce your labor requirements, lower overall costs, and make your operation more efficient.
- Monitor and improve key performance metrics and KPIs like order accuracy, pick rates, cycle times, energy use, and stock levels.
- Train employees on lean management principles, so they can help recognize and eliminate inefficiencies.
