Abstract

This research studies raw material warehouses and focuses on raw material waste. This
research aim to 1) study the warehouse management of ABC Company Limited, 2) to analyze
internal problems in the warehouse management of ABC Company Limited, and 3) to
guidelines for improving the warehouse management efficiency of ABC Company Limited.
The data was collected from interviews and analyzing the flow of activities and causes of
problems using a Flow Process Chart and Why-Why Analysis. The result found that the lack
of item location labeling on the storage shelves resulted in unclear storage positions and
delayed picking activities. Therefore, the researchers applied warehouse management concepts
by setting location names on the shelves and using Stock cards as tools to improve raw material
picking efficiency. The study results showed that it was possible to reduce costs and minimize
work delays, thus enhancing warehouse management efficiency and customer satisfaction
