Reducing costs and increasing efficiency is simple to say but difficult to do. So, how can we scientifically and effectively reduce enterprise costs and improve enterprise efficiency?

1, effective communication

Clearly communicating your organizational objectives, key performance indicators (KPI) and the process of achieving these objectives with employees is the key to effectively carry out warehousing business. When managers cannot create an open communication environment, the productivity of employees will be affected, resulting in high turnover rate and waste of resources.

2. Participate, adjust and empower your employees.

Listen to the voice of employees (VoE): People who do this job every day are process experts, and they know how to reduce or eliminate waste. Adapting your managers and employees to a corporate culture dedicated to inquiry, responsibility, partnership and customer satisfaction can greatly affect the productivity of the warehouse.

3. Make an intensive training plan and combine cross-training.

Break a job and introduce the operation to new colleagues. Allow them to test their performance before the release process. Try to let your employees sum up their experience and do corresponding retraining.

4. Pay attention to change to improve productivity

This is the core of lean six sigma: reducing changes and making the process more stable and predictable. Find important metrics that reflect your process, and then minimize the variability of the process.

5. Hold irregular team meetings to review these goals.

Let your employees speak freely. Successful organizations attach importance to team building. Take your organization to a new level and increase productivity.

6. It is no problem to form an internal competitive warehouse team.

Let everyone participate in saving storage costs. Give the team the best idea: improve the process or solve the problem. Learn about these ideas every month or quarter and reward the winning team.
