Lean Process Improvement

REDUCE MOTION, WAITING AND TRANSPORT WASTES BY UP TO 50% WITH MOBILE POWER.

Lean Focuses on the Elimination of Waste in a Process

By adding mobile power to your processes, you can reduce transport, waiting and motion by up to 50%!

Think about where you have waste. We all have it.

Do your people feel like their time is being wasted? Are they overly fatigued?

Are your operators moving goods excessively before putaway?

Are operators walking a lot to fixed stations and other tools?

Can flow be improved by adding extra value to the picking function?

Are there defective barcode labels or paperwork?

Do you have wasted preprinted labels?

Do workers wait to put away?

Mobile Power can help reduce waste. Here's how:

	TRANSPORT	Minimizing touches is key to successful warehouses and distribution centers. Eliminate moving goods to a stationary printer for labeling and allow loads to be processed at the dock.
	MOTION	Workers walking to and from fixed printers or computers can be as much as 50% in some organizations. They can essentially double their productivity when this motion is eliminated.
	WAITING	Anyone waiting for work from "upstream" is wasteful. Quickly eliminate material handlers waiting for inbound goods to put away, workers waiting for a shared printer or PC and/or shippers waiting for packed goods.

“We’ve increased worker productivity by 20% and reduced overtime costs by more than $40,000 annually by deploying Newcastle carts in our receiving area.”
