Lean & Sustainable Warehouse Management

Summary

As global supply chains expand, warehouses face increasing pressure to improve efficiency, speed, and overall performance. In response, Lean Warehouse Management has become more relevant than ever.

This 3-day training course provides comprehensive training on effective warehouse management. The course begins by defining the role of warehousing within the supply chain and introducing fundamental principles of warehouse design. Participants will then explore core warehousing processes, emphasizing the importance of establishing strong, stable workflows as the foundation of an efficient warehouse management system.

The second section of the course focuses on equipment preservation, a critical concern for oil and gas operators and contractors who work in remote locations with harsh environmental conditions. This module highlights best practices for maintaining the availability and operability of equipment and spare parts stored in warehouses and storage areas.

Next, the course examines the key hazards associated with warehouse management and provides strategies for assessing, controlling, and mitigating risks. The core training then shifts to optimization, focusing on eliminating inefficiencies through Lean Management and the 5S methodology. Warehouses hold immense potential for improving lead times, reducing logistics costs, and enhancing competitiveness, making them a vital component of supply chain efficiency.

Finally, the course introduces the concept of the Green Warehouse. Designed to minimize environmental impact, it incorporates extended Warehouse Management Systems and automation to enhance sustainability and operational effectiveness.
