Overview

Our client, a retail brand, wants to optimize the warehouse dedicated to the storage of dry groceries without investing in CAPEX. KEPLER offers a Lean approach to optimize the layout of the warehouse and thus the flows and capacity.

Context

A 23,500 m2 warehouse comprising excise duty areas with 30 people + 4 supervisors, 15,000 storage spaces
6.5 million packages prepared yearround and storage on 5 floors with saturated picking locations
An old industrial building with many poles and a slab in poor condition preventing any elevated / mezzanine picking
Very unstable productivity, from 135 to 225 parcels per hour, and structural use of temporary labor (~25% of the workforce)

Objectives

Category: Improving Responsiveness and Securing Availability

Reviewing the central warehouse layout and operations
Enhancing productivity and warehouse capacity

We worked in collaboration with the stores to test improvements on pallet preparations. The goal was to improve the warehouse productivity without degrading the service provided to the stores. The levers validated in the workshop have been tested through preparations and pilot stores, before being deployed across the entire grocery store universe.
