One of the biggest non value added elements in any company is the warehousing of its finished goods. Every year companies spend millions of dollars in labor storing finished goods that will only later be picked, packed and then shipped out the door. The warehouse element of any company, although necessary, does not improve the bottom line.

Lean methods can be applied at the warehouse level of the company and achieve results similar to those on the shop floor. Lean methods can even be applied at the warehouse of a company that is not practicing lean and achieve measurable results.

Consider, for example, a warehouse that employs 100 employees that replenish, pick, and pack goods and are paid 10 dollars an hour. This company will spend $2,000,000 a year in labor at its warehouse and this does not include employee benefits. Achieving a 5% productivity will result in $100,000 a year in labor savings. Achieving a 10% productivity will result in $200,000 a year in labor savings.

Nu View Solutions will come to your facility and evaluate your warehousing operation. We will look at the flow of your product from your manufacturing site to your warehouse and out the door to your customer. We will help you establish benchmarks on where you are, evaluate the current processes, determine the areas that can be improved, and recommend modifications that will achieve measurable results. Nu View Solutions will help you implement the changes and provide guidance on making sure that customer service levels are not affected during the implementation. We then help you measure the results after the changes have been implemented using the benchmarks that were established prior to the modifications which were made.

Our goal in this process is to eliminate the waste that exists in the current process so that your associates can achieve their full potential. Our Warehousing Services, coupled with our Lean Training Services, will help your company take lean further.
