Hello,
Does anyone have any pictures about their warehouse that shows good use of 5s and visual management? I am trying to come out with examples for our team to get the idea and come out with our own best practices.
Thanks,

we completed a warehouse project over a year ago. Have some awsome pics and results - went from two warehouses to one - big ROI. It was an excellent project that jump started our 5S and lean work within our leadership team.

Karen,
If you have pics you would be willing to share with the community, you can attach them right to your post using the attachment field.
If you have any problems with it, just let me know.
Jane

Please email me at kielrosser@mgmc.com if you would like information and photos of our 6s warehouse project (or any of our other 6s projects).

Honestly, a good example that you can go visit would be IKEA. If you have one near you they show great examples of this. I have gone there and took pictures of what they do.
Thanks,

Not photo's of a warehouse per se but of the medication cupboards in a Primary Care Clinic. Kanban cards indicate the medication name, dose, size, the minimum quantity (reorder point) and the maximum quantity. This effort achieved significant reductions in inventory carrying costs, fewer wasted medications, reduction in inventory control activities, streamlined ordering process where daily orders reflected just what was needed, just in time for next day use. Color coded cards help identify expensive medications...previously medication cost was invisible to staff AND the new system has been universally embraced by staff.

HI Kim,
Excellent use of the lean tools at a primary care clinic!
Question, are these meds in the exam rooms or in a procedure room?
Thanks,

These two photos are in Injection Rooms within a Primary Care Clinic where the bulk of Clinic Administered Meds are administered. Similar Kanban systems were also put into Procedure Rooms. For the most part exam rooms do not have medication storage, in part due to HCE requirements and in part because of the overhead/expense of multiple mini-inventories. Where there are meds in exam rooms they are high use, low cost items. Generally Meds needed in the exam room are pulled just in time from a centrally located storage area, sometimes in a tote system.

To quote Humpty Dumpty:
'When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less.'
I believe we should not confuse a Lean storage with a tradition warehouse and so would humbly suggest either "Supermarket" or "Market Place". A warehouse is a convenient Black Hole where you can stuff all that production for which there is no demand. A Supermarket is a controlled buffer with Minimum and Maximum levels for each item which are clearly visible. If either Min or Max is breached, this is an opportunity or people to investigate, not just avoid the stuff parked in aisles hoping someone else will make them disappear. See the Supermarket as a shock absorber which helps, withing defined limits to buffer the shocks in any supply chain.
Warehouses and Supermarkets are run to two different philosophies so I suggest we keep them separated by using two different terms.
