Cut waste and improve warehousing efficiencies with the

proven principles of lean management.

The ultimate goal of lean thinking is reducing our reliance on warehousing.However, the fact remains that warehousing and distribution center managementis necessary because of extended lead times and unbalanced business processconnections. Consequently, we want to manage warehousing as efficiently aspossible. To accomplish this goal, we must bring lean principles into the warehouseand the distribution center.

Engineering the WarehouseApril 1-3, 2014 | Atlanta |2.1 CEUs

Address modern warehouse trade-offs between spaceand time in optimizing and managing your warehouse.

The requirement for high levels of customer service and increasing numbersof SKUs and high labor costs have dramatically increased the complexity ofwarehouse operations. Its no longer sufficient to manage a warehouse based onABC classification of SKUs, which treats all those in a category as if they wereidentical. Instead, each decision such as where to store or pick products, mustbe based on careful engineering and economic analysis. Each SKU must identifyits own cheapest, fastest path through the warehouse to the customer, and thencompete with all the other SKUs for the necessary resources. This results inefficient warehouse operations finely tuned to patterns of customer orders.

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to: Exchange space for time to better

meet business objectives Understand when to use either

dedicated or shared storage Identify the most convenient

locations in a warehouse Identify and use patterns in

customer orders to speed fulfillment Evaluate warehouse performance
