Challenge
Sayfa was relocating to a new warehouse in Boronia, Victoria, and retained Vative to guide the company in developing a new layout and processes to reduce waste and optimise safety, cost, quality and product delivery.
Solution
The project included a detailed schedule to ensure on-time commencement at the new warehouse, a current and future value stream map to identify and reduce waste, and an 80/20 analysis for parts and products to optimise locations and Kanban quantities. Process and layout improvements were developed to improve safety, cost, quality and delivery.
Result
By tackling more than 20 recommendations from value stream mapping for its new warehouse, Sayfa has achieved impressive process improvements. Leadtime has been reduced by 46 per cent and process time has improved by up to 33 per cent for picking items, quality control check, pack, wrap and paperwork.
