Lean Warehousing
October 1-3, 2013 | Atlanta | 2.1 CEUs September 23-25, 2014 | Atlanta | 2.1 CEUs Cut waste and improve warehousing efficiencies with the proven principles of lean management.
The ultimate goal of lean thinking is reducing 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 goal, we must bring lean principles into the warehouse and the distribution center. This course covers the lean principles that will help participants reduce waste in warehousing operations by as much as 25%, manage and reduce the flow of inventory, instill disciplined processes, and effectively use visual management.
