Conducting a workflow analysis will help your business identify the different ways to streamline, automate, and improve the efficiency of the warehouse. Workflow refers to the series of tasks that make up a process. Some processes we commonly analyse for inefficiencies would be:
- Receiving
- Put-away storage
- Order picking
- Packaging
- Sortation and/or accumulation
- Unitizing and shipping
By process mapping the entirety of the warehouse and finding the bottlenecks of each activity, we can increase productivity, efficiency, and flow rates. Workflow redesign promotes process improvements, which is vital to the continued growth of any company. Let our team of highly experienced professionals walk through each process and improve each activity by using proven methodologies. Let our team redesign your workflows and determine:
- What are the current tasks for each activity
- Who completes the tasks
- How long does each task take
- Where are there bottlenecks and inefficiencies
- Is there duplication of the tasks anywhere else
