Abstract

Efficient warehouse management is critical for make-to-order production systems. This study investigates waste reduction in a metal casting company’s finished-product warehouse by applying Lean Warehousing principles. Using time-motion studies, Value Stream Mapping (VSM), Pareto diagrams, and fishbone diagrams, the research analyzed 13 workstations and identified five primary areas of waste. Simulation results demonstrated a significant cycle time reduction from 2,559 to 2,128 seconds, alongside an increased proportion of value-added activities. Although limited to a simulation, the findings highlight the effectiveness of Lean tools in standardizing work and redesigning layouts. The study concludes that continuous monitoring and Lean implementation are essential for achieving sustainable operational efficiency and reducing costs in industrial warehousing.

Abstract

Supply chain performance is critical to the efficiency of make-to-order manufacturing systems, where waste such as waiting, rework, unnecessary motion, overprocessing, and transportation still occurs at several workstations. These inefficiencies prolong production time and reduce overall effectiveness. This study aims to measure supply chain performance, determine the relative importance of performance metrics, and establish improvement priorities. The research integrates the Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model with the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) to evaluate performance and assign objective weights to key indicators. The analysis focuses on five critical workstations identified as major sources of waste. The results provide an objective performance score, identify key indicators requiring improvement, and offer prioritized recommendations to enhance efficiency. Findings show that indicators such as waiting time and facility layout efficiency still need improvement to reach an excellent performance level. The integration of SCOR and AHP effectively supports decision-making in determining improvement priorities, contributing to a more efficient and productive pulley manufacturing process. This study also offers a structured approach to performance evaluation in make-to-order systems, providing practical insights for decision-makers in Small and Medium Industries (SMIs).
