Decreasing system loss in a warehouse

Abstract

The report starts with the organizational review from where I have completed my internship. So, I did my internship in Berger paints Bangladesh Limited. Basically the company was initiated in 1760 in England as a dye and pigment making business. Later on, it started its’ paint business in the mid 19th century. Its’ professional integrity and service excellence rapidly gained a lasting reputation for delivering the best quality paint in the market. Then after giving brief review of Berger Paints Bangladesh Ltd I moved to my research topic. While doing my Internship at Berger Paints Bangladesh Limited, I found out that 1.2 million gallons of paint is producing every month which requires huge amount of raw materials. From that place my curiosity generated to conduct my research on this particular topic. While working here, I have witnessed a good amount of raw materials wasted while they are unloaded from the covered van. Moreover, taking care of this wasted raw materials and some small change inside the warehouse can increase the productivity and decrease the system loss in a company. So after reviewing a few journals, conference papers and newspapers as well as other secondary sources I believe there are three major changes which can decrease the system loss inside a warehouse and increase the productivity and those changes are 1) Adopt lean inventory practices 2) Keep tracks of inventory error rates 3) adaptation of new technology. Here 40 people were interviewed by me and among them all people work in the warehouse of Berger paints Bangladesh ltd, warehouse of Jubilant Golden Harvest Ltd. I came to know about some obstacles they face on daily basis. After analysis those obstacles and taking ideas from the expertise I came some with those probable solutions.
