The Warehouse Framework — Structure • Improve • Sustain

6S — The Path to Success

Our floor-first 6S program builds shared language in Weeks 1–2, then practices one S per week in Weeks 3–8—with Safety last—and locks in gains with tiny daily habits from Week 9+. Print the A5 booklet & A4 posters, or jump straight to the full rollout plan.

Warehouse Operations Framework — Overview

The Warehouse Framework is a practical library of warehouse operations frameworks and lightweight tools that help teams structure the work, improve the flow, and sustain the results. Built for supervisors, process/LEAN engineers, and frontline leaders, it turns proven methods—6S (The Path to Success), Continuous Improvement, Cross‑Training, Daily Stand‑Ups, Gemba Walks, SQCDP, root‑cause analysis, and visual management—into clear pages you can print, pin on boards, or run directly in a browser. Each page focuses on the next practical step: define today’s standard, make a small change, observe, and lock in the gain.

The site emphasizes clarity over jargon: one‑page explanations, concise checklists, and A3 sheets that work online and offline. Whether you are launching automation & digital initiatives, building a skills matrix, protecting people with EHS routines, or fixing flow with takt and lead‑time calculations, you’ll find a simple starting point that scales. Our Floor Color Standard aligns Lean and Safety so walkways, MHE lanes, staging zones, hazards, and egress are unmistakably marked—helping reduce accidents, waiting, and rework while supporting 5S and FIFO discipline.

Everything is modular. Start with one area—receiving, putaway, picking, packing, or shipping—then expand using the same cadence: agree the current best way (standard work), make a measured improvement, and follow up. Use the built‑in tools to keep momentum: Kaizen Ticketing for problem solving, Processing Cones for priorities and hazards, Workforce Allocation to match demand with skills, and 5S Red Tags to remove clutter fast. The result is a safer, faster, more predictable warehouse where quality improves because the process is visible, leaders coach in the Gemba, and teams know what good looks like.
