Accomplishments
Identified operational process improvements which improved warehouse efficiency, and proposed energy saving initiatives. During company restructuring, I identified a way to reduce redundancy numbers, whilst bringing pay parity across all shifts. This was implemented and provided a safer platform for company restructuring, securing more positions than planned and reducing future operating costs.
Successfully helped train the onsite process controller and assisted the implementation team with system testing. Identified a solution to do with door access to storage areas, which kept tripping the automated safety system. This was implemented and resolved the issue.
Logistic improvements were identified and implemented, reducing transport cost. Pick accuracy was increased through the introducing of random pallet inspections, reducing customer claims.
