Please advise as to what need to be improve here, do not forget my design project title: REDUCING DOWNTIME BETWEEN WAREHOUSE AND PRODUCTION LINE BY IMPROVING MATERIAL PICKING PROCESS, I WILL INTRODUCE GSI SYSTEM WHICH WILL FORM A PART OF IMPROVING PROCESS
METHODOLOGY
Problem Identification. The problem with the material picking process is the frequent downtime between the warehouse and production line, leading to inefficiencies, delays, and increased costs. The root causes of downtime include manual and error-prone material picking, inadequate communication between warehouse and production line personnel, and a lack of real-time visibility into the material picking process.

SOLUTION
1
Not finding the correct items in the correct location
Inefficiency

2
Picker error on the wrong items or quantities are piched
Time wastage at pack bench
Incorrect dispatches
Refunds and replacements
Profitability drops
Customer service admin
Track good correctly by scanning everything and quality checks

The methodology you provided is concise and addresses the key steps for your project. However, it is important to provide more detailed descriptions of the steps to ensure that stakeholders understand the process. Additionally, you could include timelines and milestones to provide a realistic and achievable plan.
As for the Picking Problems: Impact and Productivity Solution table, it is good that you have identified some specific problems and provided potential solutions. However, it would be helpful to include more information on how the solutions will work in practice and how they will impact productivity. Additionally, you could include data on the potential cost savings associated with the implementation of the GSI system and other solutions.
Overall, the methodology provides a good starting point, but it could benefit from further development and elaboration. Similarly, the Picking Problems: Impact and Productivity Solution table is a good visual aid, but could be further developed to include more detailed information and data on the potential benefits of the proposed solutions.
