key steps for implementing lean principles in a traditional distribution operation. You&#8217;ll learn how applying lean principles improves a distribution center&#8217;s efficiency, quality, safety, and space utilization.<\/p>\n<p>During the workshop, you\u2019ll participate in an experiential learning environment through a series of rapid plan-do-check-act (PDCA) cycles to understand the phases and steps needed to improve service, reduce costs, and create a problem-solving environment for continuous improvement.<\/p>\n<p>Progressing through a three-round simulation, you will identify changes, implement them, and measure the impact of applying lean tools and principles to distribution processes.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Round 1:<\/strong> reflects a conventional distribution center and its impact on customers, associates, and management<\/li>\n<li><strong>Round 2:<\/strong> reflects a distribution center after a lean benchmarking trip taken by management<\/li>\n<li><strong>Round 3:<\/strong>\u00a0will reflect an operation after lean storage techniques and processes have been implemented<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You will evaluate and compare traditional and lean operating systems for on-time delivery, lead time, quality, efficiency, space usage, equipment utilization, and cost per shipping line.<\/p>\n<p>This hands-on learning experience will teach you the key steps for applying lean principles to transform a traditional warehouse operation, including how to apply the principles and tools so you can repeat the application in your environment.<\/p>\n<p>Companies applying these principles, components, steps, and tools have experienced operational improvements in reduced internal damage and injuries, along with improved storage and operational efficiencies of 15% to 30%.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Gemba Locations<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>City Furniture | Plant City, FL<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>City Furniture is a\u00a0a Florida based retailer on a mission to change the way people live with beautiful home furnishings at incredible value.<\/p>\n<p>City Furniture has been in their Lean Conversion since 2007.

implemented some of them \u2026 However, the Warehousing course still introduced me to new ideas and material that I wish I would&#8217;ve had in my knowledge-bank prior to the facility launch. This gemba-based workshop is a very good, high-level type training on how to implement Lean principles (level flow, small batch sizes, quality at the source, standard work) into a warehousing environment, and the exercises and gemba walk of a facility made it possible to see these principles and tools in practice. Also, the instructors were passionate about the material and have experience in the field, which makes the workshop a lot more enjoyable.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n                            <p class=\"attribution\">Ana Bailey, Supply Chain Engineer<\/p>\n                        <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Improve a distribution center&#8217;s efficiency, quality, safety, and space utilization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":12558,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"6482,7401,3715,7362,9161,5789","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":""},"event_type":[46],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.9 -
