Logistics and warehouse without losses
Where are the minutes leaking in your warehouse?
Most transport and production companies in the Pomeranian Voivodeship lose from 14% to 22% of work time on redundant forklift movements. This is not a theory, it is an actual state that we see during field audits. At the Pomeranian Audit Center, we enter the floor with a stopwatch in hand. We check why a driver waiting for loading in Pruszcz Gdański stands for 43 minutes instead of the promised 20. Often the problem is not people, but a poorly planned order picking path.
Specific savings: Example from Tczew
In March 2024, we worked for a distribution company in Tczew that owned 14 transport sets. We shortened the loading time by exactly 18.3 minutes for each vehicle. The numbers speak for themselves: thanks to this small change in the high-bay shelf arrangement, the company now sends one more full transport every working day. They did it without leasing another truck and without hiring additional warehousemen. Savings in black and white were 12,430 PLN per month on fuel and overtime alone.
- We reduced empty runs of forklifts by 274 meters on each loop.
- We reduced the number of errors at issue from 4.2% to 0.8% per month.
- We introduced a three-step system that unburdened 6 packing room employees.
Rearranging three tables instead of expensive investments
Many business owners think they need a new IT system for 150 thousand zlotys to improve performance. We show that often a change in the physical layout of workstations is enough. In one plant in Starogard Gdański, we moved just three work tables and changed the direction of pallet movement. The effect? Efficiency rose by 12.1% in the first 14 days after implementing the changes. This is pure profit that required no financial outlay, but only an analysis of facts.
Perhaps your employees cover 3 kilometers too many a day because the pallet wrap is on the other side of the hall. It sounds trivial, but in a year, it's hundreds of man-hours thrown away. The Pomeranian Audit Center catches such gaps. We don't write thick books on management, we just draw with a finger on the concrete where the shelf should stand so you earn more with the same amount of work.
Heads-up: We do not deal in theorizing. We arrive, measure, and leave a ready scheme that your warehouse manager will implement in one weekend. If we see that your hall works optimally, we will say it straight out after the first hour of the site visit. We will not waste your time on reports that no one will read. We are interested only in the financial result that you will see in the balance sheet for the next quarter.
