One of the goals of lean thinking is to reduce our reliance on warehousing. However, the fact remains that warehousing and distribution center management is necessary because of extended lead times and unbalanced business process connections. Consequently, we want to manage warehousing as efficiently as possible. To accomplish this, we must bring Lean principles into the warehouse and the distribution center.
At times, warehousing is plagued with processes that are abundant in waste. From material receiving to pick and pack to shipping operations, Lean principles will reduce waste in warehousing operations. Flow of inventory, disciplined processes and visual management are cornerstones of effective warehousing operations.
