- Abstract
This study presents a case study on the enhancement of in-plant logistics at a discrete manufacturing plant using lean manufacturing/logistics principles. Two independent application scenarios are presented. In the first application, we improve the operation of a supermarket (small internal warehouse) from the ergonomics point of view by (1) placing heavy boxes on waist-level shelves, and (2) applying rolling racks/trolleys to release the physical load on the workers. In the second application, the logistic processes related to a new supermarket are fundamentally re-designed.
