Getting Started with Internal Logistics

Build­ing an inter­nal logis­tics sys­tem often involves mak­ing many detailed changes to how mate­ri­als are received, han­dled, stored, trans­port­ed, and pre­sent­ed to inter­nal cus­tomers. A com­mon mis­take is to build a logis­tics sys­tem opti­mized around one or two fac­tors, like space usage or logis­tics labor. The result is that we improve these met­rics but fail to serve cus­tomers well. Learn the eight-step approach we can fol­low to opti­mize the entire mate­r­i­al flow.
