DMAIC Process

3

Understanding TIHI Optimization

• Increase CPP

•Maximize slot utilization

•Maximize capacity

•Create straight-pull

•Reduce breakdown

•Reduce pallet allocation

•Perfect profiling

4

Ultimate Outcomes

5

Performance in the Current State

6

Core Findings

225: Straight-Pull with GLS update

150: Straight-Pull with rack changes

550: Remeasured because GLS says they’re coming in larger than slot height

100: Potential rack changes (strong movers) because GLS says they’re coming in larger than slot height

300: Layer increases under current slot height

7

Categorical Breakdown

1. Systematic Updates

•225 potential straight-pulls•Eliminating ~4600 pallets/month

2. Rack Changes (1 Layer)

• 150 potential straight-pulls• Eliminating ~1000 pallets/month

8


3. Layer Increases

• Does not enable straight-pulls, but allows slot utilization to be maximized• Eliminates ~750 pallets a month

4. Rack Changes (Layer Increases)

• Does not enable straight-pulls, but allows slot utilization to be maximized• Reserved for fastest moving items • Most temporary, could be reserved for seasonal influx• Eliminates ~600 pallets a month

9


5. Incorrect in System

• Items appear systematically to be coming in larger than slot height• Must audit and remeasure

• (+): Increase rack-heights to accommodate for excess height• (-): Decrease HI to fit in current height (slow items)

• Roller Prime

100: Increase rack height

350: Reduce HIs

100: Roller Prime

Obstacles to Consistency

1. Data Inaccuracies:

• Vendor/Warehouse TiHis• Individual Case Measurements• Neglecting Anomalies

2. Associate Push-Back:

• Reluctant to Change• Requesting TIHIs Reversed• Ignoring TIHI Specifications• Changing GLS

3. Departmental Disconnect:

• Each area affected differently
