Warehouse Optimization & Operations Improvement

Overview:This project was all about tightening up warehouse operations and making things run smoother. I focused on streamlining the daily workflow, cutting down on paperwork issues, and introducing a system that really helped the team stay on top of inventory management. The goal was to reduce the chaos and get the warehouse running like a well-oiled machine.

KEY CONTRIBUTIONS

Efficiency Boost:

Rolled out a Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) system to help track inventory more accurately, which led to a solid 30% increase in warehouse efficiency and sped up our processes across the board.

Cost Savings:

By optimizing how we handled inventory, we managed to shave off $100,000 in labor costs, thanks to smarter workflows and cutting out unnecessary manual tasks.

Standardizing Paperwork:

Developed a simple but effective paperwork system that made the daily grind smoother and more consistent. This cut down operational errors by 50%, making life easier for everyone on the floor.

Team Training:

Created easy-to-understand training materials and led onboarding for the new systems, making sure the team could hit the ground running without any hiccups.

OUTCOME

The warehouse ran more efficiently, with fewer errors and faster turnaround times. The standardized paperwork and GTIN system didn’t just improve the day-to-day— it set up the warehouse for long-term success, reducing costs and keeping operations running smoothly.
