Warehouse Process Design and Improvement

Inefficiency in warehouse operations can creep up slowly…inventory starts to build, seasonal demand spikes are not satisfied on time, and activities that previously were completed with a short cycle time now are routinely delayed. The benefits of improving your warehousing effectiveness are many, including:

• Reduced operational costs by improving warehouse layouts and optimizing material flows
• More accurate inventories and reduced inventory levels
• Better use of storage space and material handling assets
• Improved employee efficiencies and lower labor costs
• Reduced lead times to fill customer orders
• Better quality orders filled to customers

Spinnaker’s experienced warehousing and inventory management professionals know how to hit the ground running and assess warehouse layout, processes and technologies.  Spinnaker looks at your materials handling process and flows from end to end, benchmarking your operation against industry best practices, focusing on:

• Materials Flows
• Process Flows
• Information Flows
• Warehouse Layout
• People Methods and Efficiency

With a strong understanding of your current state, we then identify gaps and opportunities to help you develop and implement an improvement roadmap that explains what needs to be done, how it needs to be done and the resources required to get it done to help you achieve your objectives quickly.
