Operational Efficiency Analysis

Operational Efficiency Analysis 2019-11-20T12:36:02+00:00

The purpose of an operational efficiency analysis is to define the most appropriate layout to maximize work flow, process flow, production, and distribution—all to enhance your office, department, and warehouse space utilization. This is based on many factors including building size, process layout, the number of employees and their functions, labor output, plans for growth, budgetary requirements, storage requirements and customer needs. Our common sense operational efficiency analyses are appropriate for any business environment, whether for the office, parts & service departments, or your warehouse. We will attempt to show you ways to gain a good return on your investment while benefitting from the best use of equipment, not necessarily the ownership of it.

Operational Efficiency Analysis

Ask yourself the following questions to determine if you are operating as efficiently as possible.

  • Do you have any inventory on the floor and no room to put it away on shelves or racks?
  • Do you have trouble finding inventory or order excessive amounts of a product because you can’t find it?
  • Do you have trouble getting orders out the door on time?

  • Do you have an abnormal amount of empty shelves or rack space?

  • Do you have a lot of unused overhead space?
  • Do you have rack or excessive product damage as a result of fork lift impact?
  • Do you store your most active items closest to the parts counter?
  • Do you have employees standing around and not being productive enough to warrant what you pay them?
  • Do you have trouble determining how much it costs to run the warehouse or office operation?
  • Do you have bottlenecks at certain points in your facility due to inefficient processes?
