a Dockless Operation in Your Warehouse
Telescopic conveyors are the warehousing equivalent of self-driving cars. » By Alan Will Tf*he dock is the conduit all inventory must pass through. It is the physical connection with the outside world, yet dock operations can be one of the most neglected areas of a facility when companies modernize their warehouse operations. The dock area can also be one of the most labor-intensive and hazardous areas. In that regard, dock operations are ripe for careful analysis and use of the most effective material handling solutions available in the market today. Common to all dock operations is the need for speed and efficiency as both shippers and carriers need to have product on the road heading for the next destination. Trailers must be loaded and unloaded quickly and product sequenced in a “last in, first out” fashion. These operations can be very labor-intensive as pallets stacked with parcels are brought into trailers on pallet trucks or forklifts and then items manually removed from pallets and stacked on the trailer floor. Likewise, unloading operations can be equally manpower-intensive as parcels have to be stacked on pallets and shuttled out of trailers with pallet trucks or forklifts to be inducted into the warehouse. In short, dock operations can be the bottleneck if not properly addressed. Loading and unloading operations in the warehouse dock area have always been among the most hazardous areas in the distribution center (DC). There is often movement of packages in and out of trailers with hand trucks or forklifts. Operators encounter ramp bridges, and lighting is generally poor inside trailers. A very dangerous scenario is trailer creep which can result in forklift accidents, potentially causing serious injury to operators and devastating damage to equipment. Using automation equipment during the loading and unloading process can reduce worker’s compensation claims and increase employee safety because o ...

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.
