The newly appointed manager of CH Distribution has been studying the flow of the pick, pack and shipment of orders. To understand the process of picking orders in a warehouse, his team followed part pickers around on the job. Pickers received a computer printout of the order. The printout contains limited information, only the items required and to whom they were to be shipped. The team noticed that some orders were large and some were small. All pickers have the same size carts meaning that sometimes there was empty space on the carts and sometimes the carts couldn't hold it all. They also noticed that light levels were low in the warehouse. Create an Affinity Diagram for different categories of the problem's root causes. The problem: Multiple trips to the same stocking area. Mention three categories for root causes and two examples for each category. Category 1 Category 2 Category 3 Create a force-field analysis for the issue: High order-picking time (Show two drivers which lead to "higher order-picking time" and two restraining forces which lead to "lower order-picking time").
