I was part of a team in which we used the DMAIC process to re-design the go to market system and warehouse operations for the OKC Zone. The Zone had sales of over $105 MM a year and distributed over 4 MM cases of product a year. The go to market system was optimized to eliminate 45% of the current vehicles on the road while increasing load capacity for the remaining routes and tightening the geography for all routes so as to cut down travel time and fuel costs. We created many new processes/5s stations inside the distribution centers so as to help streamline the increased volume of cases being distributed as well as to maximize the distribution centers holding capacity. This project resulted in a combined productivity and cost savings of more than $1.2 MM.
I was part of another team a year and a half later that used the same DMAIC process to re-design the go to market system for the STL Zone. The STL Zone had sales of over $115 MM a year and distributed over 5 million cases of product a year. The go to market system was optimized to eliminate 64% of the current vehicles on the road while also focusing on load capacity and the tightening of geography to save costs on travel time and fuel. The STL Zone had 3 distribution centers that had new processes added to help with the increased volume. This project resulted in a combined productivity and cost savings of more than $3.8 MM.
I led a kaizen project that streamlined the largest STL Zone's distribution centers' rotation, picking and loading of product for the sales team to deliver into the market. Newly implemented processes as well as newly created 5s station andon responses have reduced labor hours by 24% as well as reduced the amount of stale product that the sales team has written off by 18%. In result to the changes the freshness date in the market increased by an average of 2 weeks. This project resulted in a total productivity and cost savings of more than $237 M.
