Lean principles in lean warehouse management

Lean manufacturing, a concept that improves management in the manufacturing system by eliminating production losses, is at the heart of our Operation Control software. This software, designed for manufacturing process monitoring, empowers you to monitor and control the execution of a technologically necessary number of operations with ease.

Consistency, transparency, and effectiveness are the core considerations when organizing a lean workspace. Lean principles are used to eliminate excessiveness of unreasonable actions, which are usually done not for their value, but because staff get used to doing them. With our FREE software products, managers can address corrections in the working environment to improve working performance. As a result, manufacturers gain a competitive advantage.

THE ORIGINATION OF LEAN 

The origination of Lean management is a series of steps within a company, each potentially a place for hidden losses. They may not seem so important individually, but when you consider the sum of losses that each component of the process brings, you realize the real damage to your revenues.

Our Operation Control software is a part of Lean management, which includes a range of activities aimed at identifying bottlenecks - actions that negatively impact business processes. The process of correcting mistakes and making changes in the existing structure to improve business performance is called optimization. In this article, we focus on warehouse management optimization according to lean principles, using our FREE software products available on our GitHub.

Lean Management philosophy has become a buzz recently, and for good reason. It’s a step towards warehouse management improvement as a warehouse is a center of costs and wastes. The story about Lean management begins with Toyota Motor Corporation and its major breakthrough in the automotive market in the late 1950s. The resources were limited, the competition was tough, especially from the side of Western giants, and only an adequate production strategy made the company succeed.

To stay up-to-date, in addition to stories of success from giant corporations, we should bear in mind modern models for continuous planning of inventory replenishment. Our Operation Control software is a key tool in this modern approach.

Remember, all our software products are FREE and available on our GitHub. We believe in empowering businesses with the tools they need to succeed.
