An warehouse assessment provides a quick analysis of existing operations to identify potential efficiency improvements. Assessments typically last several days to several weeks and can focus on a specific area, like material flow, or the entire operation. Major elements of an assessment include confirming the project scope, understanding the current state through documentation and on-site observation, and delivering a formal report on best practices, labor productivity, storage, flows, capacity, and recommendations for low-cost and strategic improvements. The goal is to find quick wins as well as longer-term opportunities to drive change and meet future demands.
