Penerapan Lean Warehousing untuk Meningkatkan Efisiensi Operasional Pergudangan (Studi Kasus pada Gudang Distributor FMCG)

Abstract

High warehouse operational cycle times indicate that there are still non-value-added activities and waste in the process flow. This condition results in low efficiency, increased lead times, and suboptimal warehousing service performance. This study aims to analyze the classification of value-added (VA) and non-value-added (NVA) activities, identify dominant types of waste based on the TIMWOOD approach, determine the main root causes of waste, and formulate an improvement plan based on the lean warehousing concept. The research method used is descriptive quantitative which includes measuring the process time of six main activities (receiving, sorting, searching, picking, packing, and checking), calculating Process Cycle Efficiency (PCE), analyzing waste frequency using the TIMWOOD approach, root cause analysis with a cause-and-effect diagram (fishbone diagram), and developing an improvement plan using the 5W1H framework. The results show that the systematic and measurable implementation of lean warehousing has the potential to reduce NVA activities, increase PCE values, shorten lead times, and improve productivity and quality of warehouse services sustainably.
