Wondering How Lean or Six Sigma Can Solve Warehouse and Distribution Problems?

If you relate to any of these situations, Lean Six Sigma is a good start.

1. You need to improve productivity, quality and fill rates in our warehouse operations.
2. You need the warehouse group to work together as a team.
3. You're ready to maximize the benefits of automation in the warehouse operations.

Most lean concepts can work very well, even in the most complex warehouse operations.  These waste reduction efforts all have valuable application in the warehouse:  Value stream mapping, 5S; team building, problem solving, and error proofing; Kanbans and pull systems; line balancing and cellular or flow applications; kaizen and others
