Designing & Managing A Lean Warehouse

Lean Warehousing & Distribution

This workshop applies Lean Manufacturing concepts to warehousing and distribution operations. While storage and warehousing are often considered as waste, they can often add value of time and place while supplementing and enhancing Lean Manufacturing.

Participants will learn how to analyze their inventory and orders and develop more effective strategies for storage and picking. They practice this knowledge in the many exercises included in this seminar.

Warehouse Adds Value

Warehouse Added Value

A warehouse adds value of time, place and quantity that is not available from the manufacturer or supplier. Most warehouses receive large, infrequent loads and deliver smaller loads more frequently. A few warehouses such as grain elevators, receive many small loads and consolidate them into larger loads for train or barge transport.
