Warehouse Improvement

1. Execute our Opr

To maximize our value to you, we put in the extra effort upfront to execute our Operations Performance Review. This detailed analysis provides you with a complete list of risks and recommendations for the future across 12 functional areas of your operations.

2. Identify areas for improvement

Using the results of your OPR, we’ll identify what you’ll need to upgrade, improve, implement and install to ensure that your current and future warehouse operations run at peak efficiency and are able to support your growth in the most cost-effective manner.

3. project plan

We’ll author a detailed project plan that outlines the specific items that we will improve within your People, Processes and Systems. The plan will include clear goals, actions, timelines and deliverables along with a healthy expected return on your investment.

4. Observation and data gathering

A detailed understanding of the inner workings of your warehouse is extremely important to ensure that we identify and hone in on the areas most in need of improvement. We believe wholeheartedly that you cannot improve what you don’t measure, so we’ll time study all critical processes to establish an efficiency baseline.

5. design around Best Practices

Once we have gathered and analyzed the data, we’ll focus on designing warehouse best practices into your processes. We’ll look to identify and remove non-value-added activities while improving upon the ones we keep. This is a highly collaborative effort between your team and ours.

6. Documentation

With help from your staff, we’ll outline Standard Operating Procedures that document our recommended process improvement steps. These SOPs will become your training and operating bibles and are the keys to improving consistency and reducing errors.

7. implementation

We’re not ones to toss improvement suggestions over the fence and hope it all works out. Working directly with your floor supervisors and operators, we’ll help your staff train and implement the new processes.

8. measure improvement

To ensure that we understand how these changes will directly save you money and improve your efficiencies, we’ll observe and analyze the new processes and arrive at specific dollar cost savings and efficiency improvement percentages.

9. ongoing support

We’re big believers in long-term partnerships and we live by the operations mantra of “Always Be Optimizing”. You’ll be so satisfied with the results that we’re sure we’ll uncover additional projects to work on together. Our goal is to continue to provide exceptional value to the point that your investment with us is covered many times over by realized cost savings.
