Abstract
The interval for execution of a parts pick list in the AT&T Denver Works storeroom has been shortened from 1 week to 2 days or less — often as little as 2 hours. This has been achieved without costly automated storage retrieval systems. Instead, storeroom operations now use weigh counting, naturally balanced picking zones, and information automation. Storeroom information automation supports and synchronizes parallel activities in addition to tapping information from material requirements planning, integrated pull manufacturing, and shop operations to achieve prompt response to shop requirements. Material is now pulled from the storeroom as requested by the shops instead of being pushed to the shops according to forecasts as was previously done.
