Turn warehouse flows and operating data into an evidence-based performance diagnosis.
Decision levelOperational diagnosis
Core evidenceFlows, costs, KPIs, and activity profiles
How can we tell where a warehouse is losing performance before proposing a solution?
This module introduces the warehouse as a system of flows and processes. You will learn how to turn operating data into an evidence-based performance diagnosis, using activity profiling and key performance indicators (KPIs) to identify trade-offs and improvement opportunities.
By the end of this module, you can
- explain the role, functions, and principal material flows of a warehouse;
- distinguish picker-to-parts and parts-to-picker order-picking systems;
- connect strategic, tactical, and operational decisions;
- interpret costs and performance indicators as evidence of trade-offs; and
- structure an activity profile for a first diagnosis.
