Abstract

This research aims to reduce waste in the storage process of finished products and design of the warehouse management of pasteurized milk plant case study.  This research has applied the cause-and-effect diagram to analysis and identify waste in the process, principle of first-in first-out (FIFO) and warehouse management to design of warehouse management system.  The results showed that after improving the storage system in the warehouse, it was possible to reduce storage waste by 0.166% per month and store more goods using maximum space.
