New Article Describes How to Design a Lean Material Storeroom Layout for Your Job Shop

LIVONIA, Mich. - Feb. 21, 2019 - PRLog -- Productivity Engineering Services LLC (PES), a professional engineering and management advisory services firm, today announced the publication of a new article that describes how to design a lean material storeroom layout. The article was developed to help job shop maufacturers leverage the lean system to plan and design the most practical and cost-effective storeroom layout tailored to their specific operations.

A common misconception is lean manufacturing principles and practices are mostly applicable to high volume, low mix manufacturing like Toyota. This is not the case when judicially applied as you'll see in this article. Titled "How to Design a Lean Storeroom Layout for Your Job Shop: A Perfect 10 Methodology – Part 1,"  it covers the beginning steps (from assigning the right team to proper 5S tactics and more) to generating an efficient and effective stockroom plan. This is the first part of a two part series.  Part two is in the works and will be available in March.

"I trust you'll find our nuts and bolts approach to lean job shop storeroom layout design quite interesting and informative," said Jeffrey Miller P.E., CPIM, SCOR-P, CS&OP, the founder and managing principal of PES and the article's author.
